I was just preparing a comment on that exact same subject... Who IS that?? ALSO The only figure with a faction symbol I could really make out was spiderman, and he has a spiderman symbol.... So theres a spiderman faction? I guess that would be following the comics really, but who else would be on a spiderman team? OH, wait, I see that wolverine has an x-men symbol (makes sense) and sabertooth has what looks to be a magneto symbol (also very logical)... But the spiderman one bugs me for some reason.

Both Vs. and HeroClix have "spider-man" based teams, so I guess it doesn't surprise me.

Here's a list of the characters that HeroClix put on the Spiderman team... www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figuregallery.asp?factionid=23His team usually consists of street-level characters, people who have teamed up with him in the past and/or NYC based characters that really don't have a place on any team. Plus, it looks like after a few sets we will have 12 or so Spiderman figures on our hands. That many figs definitely needs it's own team. Oh Marvel, why did you have to do this to me? Why did the figures have to look soooo cool? Why did I promise myself I'd only collect the Star Wars figues? Why, why, why (quietly sobs)

I echo your feelings, SFX. I really have no attachment to Transformers (only watched the cartoon as a kid and had a few toys) but I collected Marvel comics (no DC!) clear up into high school. And Ghost Rider was one of my two favs (the other being Silver Surfer) so how can I pass up on a Ghost Rider mega?!?!
These figures look absolutely AWESOME!

My only gripe: where are the rest of the Fantastic Four?
Edit: I think I may see a Johnny Flame in those pics, but not sure.....

I believe the circled character is Red Skull, a Captain America villain.

Looking at the improved images, it's actually Wallow with Blackheart's arm looking like Red Skull. oh well.

Posted by Phoenix on Yesterday at 11:18amMy only gripe: where are the rest of the Fantastic Four?
I couldn't agree more. It seems weird to me with how all over the place these figures are. Not just X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider Man, or Ghost Rider. They made just a small sample of each group. I am not saying I don't like the figures, it's just that there are so many to be made that I guess you have to start somewhere.

Hasbro better hope that the Ghost Rider movie is good because they are pushing a lot of Ghost Rider Attacktix figures. If there wasn't a movie coming out I doubt he'd get his own Starter Set.
Does that small clear missile Wallow is sporting make you wonder why we don't have an Emperor like that or give you hope for one in the future? It does for me.
