Hmm, I don't like Electro. For one thing, it has the "pee-colored missile" thing going on, and the balance from its blasting arms looks unstable not to mention the head being WAY too large a target. At least it's a 10-point figure with a large missile. I'll try and get you a picture of the back of his head. You will see his HEAD is not that large... only his mask decoration. His actual head is the same as Spidey's!

I have a problem with tilting bases. I mean if the base is off the ground they are "dead". dead people dont shoot missles. We do not allow base tilting at my house.

It violates one of the fundamental game mechanics (i.e., if any part of the base is off the ground, the figure is considered knocked down) to allow people to overcome difficulties they may have with using certain figures - or the poor design of Super Optimus Prime's firetruck mode. Even though it's technically the player's hand that's elevating the figure, it's been previously ruled that even if a figure's base is propped up on another figure's base, it's considered defeated. Ah well. Nevertheless, this paves the way for considering all manner of things that are done transiently by the player to the figures to increase their attack utility, striker and launcher alike. Thus, I can likely be reconciled with it, after all. It increases the amount of skill that can be used in the game.

Shockingly large, one might say Booooo! You know, I've played a lot of games with the Super Optimus Vehicle, and he's worked fine for me. You usually have to apply a little pressure to his gun, and you're not going to get a base shot, but he's worked fine otherwise for me.

Magneto is the best supervillain of them all. I sure wish an Iron Man would come out next! That would be a showdown!

Magneto sounds cool. Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get any 10 point Brotherhood figures in this set (at least from what I've seen), so Sacrifice is a bit limited. Maybe in Series 2 we'll get a 10 point tongue-striking Toad.

It would seem that his stats have changed a little (movement of 4) since this photo was taken (SDCC 2006), but this is what he generally looks like. That exciting that his # is (M1-13). That implies plans for more Marvel sets.

I am not a big fan of Sacrifice, but I'll take it. I really like his sculpt (thanks Radar). Shooting a bumper is a great change.
So far I am really impressed with the diversity of projectiles. I like the change from the common small blue, small red, med blue, ect...
Also I agree that I hope we get some 10 point Brotherhood figures. It makes Sacrifice pointless unless it's really worth it.
