Thats awesome Joe!
I really like the smaller size of that prototype figure. But I would imagine they really had to get bigger to make proportions look better.
Cant wait for the next installment teased at the end.

Joe...that certainly is the crowning jewel of any Attacktix collection, and a great piece of the games history. Kudos, and I'm glad it ended up in your hands, wherever it came from.

It'd be awesome if Hasbro remade (as in repackadged and started production on) the original three figures (Stormtrooper and the Werewolf and Claw Gun things from the patents) with the same molds and put them in an upcoming booster or a special 5th anniversary starter pack.

Good for you Joe for landing that one. Star Wars seems to have some kind of curse in the gameing world, Decipher lost the liscence and had to discontinue its great CCG, then Wizards of the Coast got off to an ok start with it, but the die hard Decipher gamers wouldnt touch it. The miniatures game is ok, but haveing played all these others, I prefer Attacktix. I like actually shooting my enemy then imagining that i am. Hopefully AttackTix will "reverse the Curse" of Star Wars gameing.

Those monster attacktix are just great, I love them.
I cant decide if the werewolf or the pharaoh is the coolest.

Me... want .... Garden Gnomes!
Seriously though those things were awesome!
Especially the Egyptian themed figures and... as I said earlier the Garden Gnomes!
Where the hell did you find these things?
Let's all hope these figures (or newer versions of them) somehow manage to sneak their way in as at least Happy Meal toys at some point in the near future (my Grievous demands Gnome Bodyguards!).

OMG!! Joe that is seriously some of the best and encouraging news we've seen in the Attacktix universe! Thanks a deal for the info and pics. I LOVE the Monster line. I really really really hope Hasbro expands Attacktix to monsters, and as possibly alluded, a fantasy based line (maybe even - gasp!) a Dungeon and Dragons line! Thanks so much for the info!

Very, very interesting. I really like the pharaoh with his snake projectile. The question is, would it have been powerful enough to use?
Definitely some interesting images and ones that bring some more thought to my "most wanted Attacktix" list. Very cool.

These are TRULY AWESOME! I have long desired a LOTR theme. This could be just as cool. I LOVE fantasy roleplaying and would love to see a line in the relm of the DnD genre. Maybe then the gaming comunity would take Attacktix a little more seriously. Nah!  Pharoh is my favorite with the cobra snake missle!!! NICE find! This is Truely special! |
