The
Eater of Worlds Cometh...
WizKids Reveals A 2004 Convention HeroClix
Exclusive
This may
be the most sought after and yet most useless for game play
figure ever. Why useless? Because it's even more demoralizing
to an opponent than two Thanosi and a Firelord. (Any resemblance
to teams assembled by Mish'al Samman is purely coincidental.)
Where
was I? Ah, yes. Galactus. (picture below)
Taking
up eighteen squares on a standard HeroClix map and standing
over 16" tall, this survivor of the previous universe
stands taller than any previous figure. And then some. Here
are our predictions for the dial stats:
Speed:
2. When you take up that much room, why bother moving?
Strength:
500. A game involving Galactus is not measured in how
many of his opponent's pieces can be "k.o.'d," but in how
quickly that opponent will break down and cry.
Defense:
12. It's a little known fact about Galactus, but he
has a glass jaw and is extremely ticklish. Also, if an opponent
has a Nova figure, Galactus can be seduced.
Damage:
3, but with special ability. If you roll a 4, 5, or
6, Galactus converts the entire playing field into energy
and absorbs it for nourishment, thus ending the game.
Should
Galactus actually suffer knockback, the very fabric of the
universe is torn, and all players will immediately be sucked
into a black hole and stuck in limbo until such time as
Brian Michael Bendis or Mark Millar revises them for Ultimate
Marvel continuity.
In truth,
WizKids has a whole scenario worked out, completely ignoring
(or rather, not even asking for, as usual) our advice. You
can read the details here.
Nothing
solid has been announced concerning price, but considering
that last year's MechWarrior Convention Exclusive dropship
cost over $100, we recommend you start saving your Quesadallars
now. At the summer conventions, WizKids will also have a
super-shiny Limited Edition Silver Surfer and completely
non-existent Invisible Woman available.
