He is a Palpatine Wannabe!!! Look at how his arms are situated and the side-mount trigger!

I want that Doc Ock. I hate Hasbro....why do they have to come out with such cool stuff and then leave me sad and penniless.... I'm confused as to what power Doc Ock has...I suppose his tenacles stick out enough to be a striker?

Yeah, that Metal Spidey looks balanced to me, doesn't look like he can aim, just shoots that force blaster, he looks like a large base.. You know, his big "weakness" to makeup for force blaster may be an obvious no special power. Also The Ghost Riders look really cool, and I don't even like Ghost Rider.

I was right! Green Goblin DOES fly!

Those pictures actually reveal quite a bit.
First, LukeLeiaLove was absolutely correct about Goblin being a flying figure. Major props to him for noticing that and a demotion to me for me thinking that it wouldn't happen.
Second, Western Ghost Rider freaking ROCKS!
Third, it appears Blackheart is probably a striker. I come to that conclusion that he's not a shooter because none of the other figures to ever come in a starter set have started with their missiles loaded but Blackheart's arm is covered in what was previously an unknown entity. He's also probably not a prodder due to the lack of a button and the 40 point cost.

I was right! Green Goblin DOES fly! Which is sooo cool! I'm really anticipating the sets, although I wonder if the green goblin in the two starters are exactly the same???

It seems like those shots should be pretty accurate, which makes the two 20 point Ghost Riders very exciting! The Marvel Knights team is going to rock!!!! I definitely agree that Blackheart is a Striker. I hope flying Green Goblin gets a longer string than flying Boba Fett. Thanks Joe. News like this is lots of fun

thanks, i'll put them up on my blog now.
I wonder how you kill GR Mega? Maybe the Flame Panels on the side?
It is excellent that they are bringing back the targets that are part of the figure, as opposed to the Gunship and Jabba, to an extent.

Yeah, I'm guessing that the GR Mega's targets are the buttons embedded in the flames on the side, sort of like Boga's targets. I further guess that when they're both knocked in, the bike will rotate down, causing the base to lift up from the playing field.
Speaking of Boga, 60 points for a Mega with two attacks? Wow, is that GR Mega ever undercosted, unless the attacks are really bad. The flame gun looks looks like it could be hefty enough, but I'm concerned that the strike attack will only let you flick figures to one side or another, rather than straight forward.

Yeah, I guess those would be the buttons... they looked like the center of the rear wheel, but when I looked in the in-package shot that is definitely the target!
