Squirrel Girl [Deadpool & X-Force 039]

Tippy Toe [Deadpool & X-Force 010]

You can’t have Squirrel Girl without Tippy Toe. It’s blasphemy! It’s like salt without pepper! Or steak without potatoes! OR OZZY OSBOURNE SPEAKING CLEAR, CONCISE ENGLISH WITHOUT SINGING! It’s just not right! Time for a duo-review!

Fellowship-

These two scream fellowship. Kind of. Tippy Toe, mostly. She’ll ping you for one damage if you aren’t careful. Squirrel business and whatnot. Squirrel Girl hampers the score here, she’s actually REALLY strong if you leave her alone to gather up squirrel forces to fight you. Also her 11 attack and Exploit Weakness strike fear into the heart of, specifically, Thanos and Galacticus. Honestly if I had separated these two, Tippy Toe would probably be top-two. YOU CAN’T DO THAT THOUGH.

LEVEL: T.T. HIGH, S.G. LOW. MEDIAN LEVEL: MODERATE

Utility-

Squirrel Girl shines here. Producing pogs and dealing major close-combat damage really allows her to flex about the battlefield and stretch your opponent out. If given enough time, she can get Squirrel Man on the field, a MAJOR threat if left alone with Super Strength, Charge and Impervious. Meanwhile, Tippy-Toe is really only a minor thorn in the side of the enemy, dealing out one damage at a time. She’s really good against non-stealthy supporting pieces, who often get tossed in bushes to protect them from range attacks. Or you can push her to gain Exploit Weakness on click 2.

LEVEL: MODERATELY HIGH TOGETHER OR SEPARATE

Nerdcore-

This is why I’ve placed them together. The only time I’ve seen Squirrel Girl without Tippy Toe is when S.G is trying to be the average everyday college girl with a totally super secret. Thus my totally sensical and logical conclusion. They’re about as close as they’ll get to the comic book with these two figures.

LEVEL: MODERATELY HIGH BUT ONLY BECAUSE I HAD TO PUT THEM TOGETHER TO BE A TEAM INSTEAD OF A SUPER COOL DUO FIGURE OR WHATEVER

SG&TT had this coming. A wonderful character with great writing whom I totally don’t have a weird fantasy crush on, HeroClix had to do it right. They knocked it out of the park, figuratively speaking. Not literally. Squirrels are usually in parks.

Next: Quatre!
