Last and not least, webmaster RUROUNI KJS aka RKJS had THE HARDEST TIME paring favorites to even match TBT’s baker’s dozen.
Meaning I couldn’t and didn’t. So here’s my baker’s dozen PLUS, starting in alphabetical order:
———
Apache Chief [Batman The Animated Series 070]
I nominated the big man to Heroclixin’s Top F.U.N. figures of 2018, so here he is here among my faves.
———
Batman [Batman The Animated Series 040]
Also my nominee to 2018’s F.U.N. figs, this is my go-to Batman over 100 points. That free Batarang action!
———
Black Panther [Secret Wars Battleworld 061]
Apart from him being that BP with the INFINITY GAUNTLET!!!!!!!! he is a lot of fun to use with his ability to pick clicks 1-6. I wanted to include him on the F.U.N. list, but he’s too good.
———
Daredevil [WizKids MP18-007]
I had looked at the dial and thought it was nice. But it was when I learned it was the John Romita Jr. design from Frank Miller’s “Man Without Fear” mini that I had to have and play it.
———
Dust [X-Men Xavier’s School 056]
Though a unanimous addition to the F.U.N. figs, Dust was only a favorite of mine among the Heroclixin board.
———
Giant-Girl [Avengers Infinity G001]
She became such a metagame darling that I almost neglected to include her among my favorites. But she won a spot practically upon her release.
———
Hawkman & Hawkgirl [Batman The Animated Series 060]
Super F.U.N. duo that just got crowded out of our Top 10. I like the star-crossed Hawks.
———
Nova [Avengers Infinity 032]
Longtime readers may recall that I’ve wanted a Nova Prime version of Richard Rider for many years. This, finally, is that character done completely right.
———
She-Hulk [Avengers Infinity 024]
I have wanted a Jennifer Walters in her lawyer outfit for years. I also love her stat-nerfing “Fierce Litigator” SP. If only it wasn’t completely tied to Close Combat Expert…
———
So those nine were the clear faves. The five following were also clear favorites, but fought for the last two to four slots. Also alphabetically:
Baby Doll [Batman The Animated Series 049]
This episode of the series was very memorable and I like the weirdness of her mechanics. She’s just limited in her keywords and cost to make her Mastermind really work.
———
Clayface [Batman The Animated Series 001b]
Prime Clayface jumped onto my radar with his mix of decent AV and damage, Outwit then Perplex, Improved Movement, wild card TA, the ability to jump on any themed team and the possibility of avoiding KO, all for a very low price.
———
Dee Dee [Batman The Animated Series 015]
I like her (them?) for the same reasons as Taylor and more (the Sidestep+Empower, mostly) but he said I should drop her (them) because he picked Dee Dee as favorite(s).
But there’s enough of Dee Dee for BOTH OF US, TAYLOR
———
Oya [X-Men Xavier’s School 031]
But I haven’t been able to forget Oya even though I never play her. But I always WANT TO. I love the double target skill she has, even if I never seen to have enough targets in range when I run her.
———
Wasp [Avengers Infinity 044]
And then there’s Nadia Wasp, another who is fighting SO HARD for a spot. She’s kinda costly and I wish her suPerplex was top dial and she didn’t have to push off Outwit to get it and she had a click of 11AV instead of straight 10s. But her punishing Shape Change trait, though. Yeah, I wanna use her in games every time I think of her.
———
In the end, I decided that because this is MY LIST and MY WEBSITE that I would just include all 14 faves.
And that finally wraps our look back at 2018’s clix. Now we’re looking forward to Earth X, the first set of 2019. We’ll have our customary pocket checklist during the early days of release, and we’ll talk about what we’re anticipating collecting and playing from it.
Until then, keep on finding your F.U.N. in Heroclix!
