You know what kind of expansion should be part of Heroclix? An AoA, Age of Apocalypse themed one. There would be alternate versions of X-men like Storm, Iceman, Colossus, etc. Also, uniques could be characters who survived AoA. Blink, X-Man, Holocaust, Dark Beast and Sugar Man come to mind. Wouldnt that be cool? I think so.

Holocaust would kick some serious butt.

Holocaust would kick some serious butt.

yeah he would...but you know they would just rename him back to 'Nemisis' so they dont offend anyone, same with why Red Skull's threads aint packing an Nazi decals.

I've always thought you could make a decent Holocaust figure out of a Mandroid armour...


I might try that actually...

Now don't get me wrong here. I loved AoA and have an AoA X-men team (which will be even better once I have Storm & Iceman in there instead of Weather Wizard & Blizzard). I just don't think we need an AoA expansion.

Really, from a game-stat perspective how different would the characters be from their current clix versions? Not very, if at all.

Would it be nice to have the scupts? Yes. But if you really want them, find someone to do mods and repaints.

There are plenty of people out there who aren't X-fans, and there are plenty of mainstream characters we're still missing. Throw in some of the figures we don't have yet (Blink, Sunfire), but don't base an entire expansion around it.

well, I wouldn't make them as a set just yet.
but some figs could be "redone" as AoA figs (like Cyclops) so they have a better Cyclops and bring out a different fig.

Morph,Blink,Dark Beast etc. would be very nice !:)

If they were to do anything like this they should just do an all alternate reality expansion featuring Earth X/Universe X/Paradise X, AoA, Heroes Reborn (BLARGH!), Days of the Future Past, and any number of other random alternate marvels. To keep in with the theme they could include Captain Britain or other Captain Britain Corps. members and the eXiles, btoh of which were defenders of realities. It'd be cool huh?

Nice post. Next time if you added another sentence to say why you didn't like it, then your post would be useful. At least you didn't spell it "sux".

I thought it was a pretty creative story with interesting alternate version of characters. Dark Beast experimenting on other mutants, the treachery of Sinister, Quicksilver as a team leader in the x-men, etc......

Great idea! I'd love to see an Alternate Realities set for Marvel that included all that! To make it even better, include What If? !

DC should do a set also, with Kingdom Come, Elseworlds, and the different Earths from Crisis and other stories.

Great idea ...Kingdom Come had lots of new cahracters along with good twists on existing characters.

If you guys want me to, I'll try and think up a couple of sets, just for fun, of course. :)

in regards to alternate realities, i'd love to see a Nocturne clix. She's my fav female character now, besides Shadowcat of course

How could think AOA "sucked?" It was a great storyline. Better than most at the time it came out.
I work for a news paper, and a bit of a fan boy when it comes to comics. When the first X-Men movie came out, myself and a couple of reporters sat down, and along with the other stories about the movie and X-men, we had to come up with a list of defining moments that have sculpted the X-men over the years. AOA was one of them.

To just disregard it as "suck," says nothing. What "sucked" about it? List some things.

Sorry, wrong thread. Please forgive

There were plenty of non X-Men Marvel people in the Age of Apocalypse. The Hulk alone would be a sweet figure. I do agree that a full set of them would be cool, just because I really loved that storyline, but I don;t see it as pheasable. A set of all alternate reality figs would however be very marketable.

I whole-heartedly think that an AoA set would be awesome. Figures like X-Man, Morph, Wolverine, and all would be great.

Wouldn't it also be cool if they did a set based of the Amalgam comics, with combinations of both Marvel and DC characters? Just having Spider-Boy would kick!

How about Mutant X (The comic , Not the T.V. Series.) The Six, Iceman, Brute (Hank McCoy) Bloodstorm (Ororo Munroe)
The Fallen (Warren Worthington III) And Marvel Woman (Madelyne Pryor) Would be great.

I've been working on making an expansion for Mutant X actually. I really liked the series. Havok really came into his own during it. I should be posting stats later on once I finish the whole set.

An AoA Cyclops would be great, shorter range (1 eye) but BIIIIG damage, after all, he then has no qualms about killing. We don't need another Wolverine, but AoA Beast, Quicksilver Storm and Jean would rock! First though, I WANT MARROW!

That would be great. I loved that storyline. And hopefully if it was made, we could get a better version of Apocalypse. Not that he was that bad in Xplosion, but I just dont see him being weaker than the Thing or Hulk, which he is in Xplosion. Rogue would kick arse too with telekenisis (magnetism). X-Man though, wow, how would you make him? He's quite possibly the most powerful mutant who ever lived in any universe, even more than Apocalypse. Forge would be cool. A new Magneto would rock. Abyss would be really cool. The Bedlam Bros. would rock. Wow, everyone would be cool.

Who else is there?
Shadowking
Domino
Victor Von Doom
Generation Next
Sabretooth (good guy and bad guy version)
Gideon
Polaris and Northstar as bad guys would rock
Havok (by far the best, he rules)
Dark Beast
Weapon X
Wolverine (he wasn't in there much so might not be worth it)
Legion (hey, why not?)
Bishop (another guy they need to make)
Sugar Man
Dorks from the Human High Council
A new Sentinel
Cyclops (a bad mammajamma)
Jean Grey
Sinister (really needs to be made)
Toad

theres a lot of them. I cant think of them all. But wow, that would be a great set. And we're not even getting that many duplicates of guys. Just like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Magneto, Beast, and Apocalypse. It would rock.

Ha. That's funny. I just realized I have all the books to AoA, but never got around to reading them. I wonder which box they're in....?
