Start off with a quote...

[Ataru]

You know, guys, I think we should start off each individual figure page with a quote from the forum that sums up a figure's worth. I enjoy picking on Superflytnt, so let's just pretend that he's said,
"S5 Starter Vader is an incredibly powerful figure, however, I simply cannot believe that Hasbro would make something so lame as a Sith that attacks by throwing his hands up in defeat. I call him--Darth Democrat!"
He did say something about Darth Democrat, though I can't remember the exact words... just bear with me for a moment. We could start off with that quote. Or maybe even start a new category: What Attacktix Players Have To Say. There we could put quotes from the forum with links to the profiles of those who said (typed) the quotes.
Just a thought...

I think it is a good idea.

Actually, I thought about having something like "flavor text" that would capture the unique attributes of each figure at the start of each figure review...not so much from our own words but in some description of the character itself. For example:

As Vader watched the Falcon's cerulean glow jet into space, he could only throw up his hands in despair and curse the universe.

OOH! That's great! Here's a few:

HAN SOLO
He lowered his smoking gun and his lips formed into his own thingyy grin. He was Han Solo, a Rebel now.

MACE WINDU
Suddenly, the boy's lightsaber swept through his wrist, and he screamed in not so much agony as despair. Force Lightning crackled with fury, and he fell to his end.

GENERAL Grievous
With a sickening flourish, Grievous ignited his four lightsabers and watched his foe's eyes. He could sense surprise in the man, though as a true Jedi, Obi-Wan hid his feelings. Just wait until this duel ended.

LUKE SKYWALKER
The boy heard the deep intoned voice and shuddered. Was Vader lying? How could he ever know? Searing pain repeatedly flashed through Luke's arm. He clung to the weathervane with all of his might.

Um... it says THINGYY grin, but I meant C-O-C-K-Y grin...

There's that stupid censor again!

The flavor text is a great idea, but should definitely relate to the figure it pertains to, not just text about the character in general. Yodabreaker's is a fine example of what flavor text we should use, since it incorporates SW5 Darth Vader's attack.

[Ataru]

Yeah, good point... I was just having some fun, we don't actually have to put that on there!

As for the censor, I'll remember to write arrogant grin next time.

I like the quote on the Jedi Knight page: "For over a thousand years the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic."

...for one, it is descriptive of the Jedi Knights. And if the game of Attacktix lasts a thousand years, the Jedi Knight will probably still be the finest figure... ;D

I'm glad you like it I've been working on doing recaps of a smattering of Star Wars figures throughout today (mostly Series 2 and 4). I hope y'all like the format that I've used for the recaps. I think it gets information for both the collector and the player out there.

I'm currently doing quotes for various Marvel characters. I'm mostly pulling lines from the movies whatever character was in (if any) at the moment so anyone who knows better lines, feel free to change any of them I put down.
