The Ebayer who has the Starter Figures for sale has shared with us the Special Powers: From the seller: Green Goblin: Rescue (Sinister Syndicate) Armored Spider-Man: Battle Cry Spider-Man: Attackback (Spider-Man) Doc OcK: Recruit (Sinister Syndicate) Awesome news for someone like myself who is/was planning on snapping up whatever starter set they find. I was a bit worried about powers but it all looks good. If Rescue has a high percentage, Goblin could be good, Doc Ock still looks like filler, a high-ish percentage on Spider-Man could make him even better than the booster version, and if Armored Spider-Man is twenty points like some of the preduction shots said he could be the next Kit Fisto.... Without the awesome striking power, of course.

This is a great starter set! I am excited to get this one. I like the Doc Ock better than the one you get from the boosters.

How exactly does the chain on Ghost Rider on Cycle hit, is it across, or forward/back?

Those starter sets have been at my local Wal-Mart for about a week and a half now, and the weird thing is that they don't seem to be going anywhere. It might just be the area I live in, although the Star Wars Attacktix always go quickly when they're available, though again, the Transformers don't seem to sell very well out here either. Cool designs though...

Before I get to the two figures previews...
Thanks to dealer for clearing up Armored Spidey's point value. He should be a great figure.
Grey elephant, the difference between starter Ock and booster Ock is the starter version has Recruit: Sinister Syndicate while the booster version has Stun: Spiderman and Marvel Knights.
Now, to the previews...
Wallow is another "eh" on my list. Twenty point trooper in an incredibly small faction. His missile looks cool, though.
Ghost Rider on Cycle, on the other hand, might just be worth getting. 60 points (cheapest Mega since Boga), 10 speed (fastest Mega since Omega Supreme), targets on the sides instead of the front (making it harder to take him down in one fell blow), striking and shooting?!?! He's freaking awesome! Plus, if his power is good, you can bring in another good figure like Ghost Rider Striker.

*sob*sob* not another stupid 20 pt. trooper *Ha*ha* now my spiderman team can kick the ghostrider guys down. *oh, no!* there's a mainac on a bike on that team. he's swinging a chain and launching crazy fire balls for a freaking 60pts. *ok, ok* I killed him. *what!* the freaky demon is getting up and coming after me on foot. Run Away!. Sorry, just the writer in me coming out. but wallow is stupid and the mega is awsome though I think a little unfair.

Does anyone else find it odd that they released two Spidey's in the original booster? Granted they are different in look and presentation, but I considered buying the starter set as a novelty and held off because there just wasn't quite enough variety in it. One more hero character perhaps packaged as a starter would have changed my mind.
Has there been any mention of an Attacktix Cyclops yet? Try as I might, I can't imagine how they could give him a shooting eye missile without making his head look deformed. I didn't see him mentioned in this thread, but I skimmed a lot of it.
