Anyone else agree with me here that they should re-release some of the Infinity Challenge pieces with more accurate powers on their dials? I really think Prof X and Jean should have Psychic Blast at some point among other things. And NIghtcrawler being the only Marvel piece with HSS so far, i think they should bring out an updated Quicksilver too.....unless they bring out a Northstar clix, but I dunno who the hell would want that :D
There should be alot of improvements in general, so anyone else have any suggestions? Or if yer just angry that yer favourite piece doesnt live up to your expectations, you can let yer frustrations out and post here :D

I'm actually pretty happy with the old figs, I mean sure, Wolfsbane could have had regen on her bcf clicks, and Quicksilver could use some hss, but I still use the figures and it doesn't bother me.

Although truthfully, I wouldn't mind seeing a new Unique Magneto in that funky uniform in the days when he taught the New Mutants (with a X affiliation, natuarally).

Quicksilver needs to be remade.

I'll agree there are are a few IC guys I am not totally happy with, but personally I'd rather get some more of the guys we don't have yet (it's enough knowing that we will be burdened with the redundant four every set...Hulk, spidey, elektra, wolvie).

However, once they cover all the big names and are lower on ideas I'd like to see some remakes of the bigger names the dropped the ball on to keep things rolling.

Marvel Universe is so large I doubt they will run out any time soon....wonder if New Warriors and Alpha Flight will ever find their way into clix form.

lol, highly doubtful, but not impossible....does anyone really want Speedball on their team anyways? As for Alpha Flight, i really wouldnt mind a Vindicator piece :D ......not when Heather was Vindicator though.

I believe that we should let by gones be by gones. I agree that their are some figs that could've been made better. However, if you are asking me if some of those should be made in place of new characters, I say no. However, new Unique versions of main characters, are acceptable. I think Magneto deserves a remake. But pretty much, that's it.

Name some figs that you'd like to see redone.

I really think we need (and I do mean need) another figure with HSS. Quicksilver would be muy first bet, since I like him. And because he never got enough good "publicity" anyway. But anybody, really. In all three sets, there's *1* figure with HSS. Of course, that'll drive the Elf's price tag down. Eeeehhhhhhxcellent.

Juggernaut with Charge.
Scarlet Witch, with a bit more power.
Blade with, uh, something.

And new sculpts that are less likely to break their ankles.

Comicbookwise... and gamewise... I'm actually fairly happy with things the way they are.

Quicksilver has NEVER been the insane powerhouse that the Flash has, vibrating through walls and stuff. The most I'd do is give his vet version more clicks of Flurry.

The Scarlet Witch has NEVER been all that powerful.

The Wasp has torn cars in half with her energy blasts. I'd give her an extra click of damage on her first click, in Unique and Vet versions.

I'd bump Firelord's cost higher, but not that much... although I would make him Unique.

The only major changes I can think of that I'd really wanna see in IC figures is

(a) Hobgoblin is a joke. Lose Incapacitate, and give him Energy Explosion, and maybe some clicks of Outwit and/or more RCE.
(b) Captain America could use Willpower.

...but that's just my opinion. I can think of plenty of people who'd violently disagree with it, too.

...but beyond that, I can't really think of too much I'd rearrange if I were in charge. Considering their time constraints, I think they did a decent job.

Actually, they could do a new Scarlet Witch representing when she learned actual magic from Agatha Harkness. She'd definitely have some more umph then.

I'd like a Catpain America with Willpower and Close Combat Expert, a new Magneto, and although HSS on Quicksilver would be nice, it really wouldn't bother me if he didn't come out again.

Quicksilver doesn't deserve Hypersonic Speed. He's fast, but not "Hypersonic". He's fine exactly the way he is.

Juggernaut should get charge. But that's mainly it...

I think they did very well updating Daredevil with Lc and 2 arrows. Not a drastic change, just the tweaking the IC DD needed.

I would like them to just slip one or two of these redone IC figs into each set. Here's what I'd like to see (many of these will look familiar since a lot of you had the same idea)

Captain America - WP, CCE, OW earlier...basically Marvel's answer to Batman
Hobgoblin - drop IN, give EE, WP (because he's crazy)...basically a lesser version of Green Goblin
Quiksilver - no HS (he isn't in Flash's league) but more flurry
Magneto - big damage longer, higher numbers everywhere, 150 points or so
Spider-Man - SuperSenses on every click, up his cost accordingly and change nothing else. I'd play him even if he was in the 150 point range
Hulk - charge
Juggernaut - charge and a higher attack # longer
Jean Grey - trade the Support for Psychic Blast and higher attack numbers, damage at 1 or 0 and no higher
Professor X - insanely high attack (14?), range of 12, Psychic Blast, even lower movement (face it, he is meant to be carried) and...the Mystics Team ability :)

Who's next? :)

Prof. X should have 3 bolts also. If Elektra has 2 then he should be more powerfull then her.
