View Full Version : First Clix or "the fig. that started it all!"
Every clixer started their collection, and every one had thier first fig. ever. How many can remember theirs?
Mine was E Magneto (hence my name!)
If you started with a starter or a booster, put the strongest person in that pack.
Hope to here from everyone who can remember.

When I opened up my first starter pack the very first fig inside, was rookie daredevil. He always has a special place in my heart. The rest of the pack went as follows in exact order
Jean Grey r
Scarlet Witch V
annihilus e
ultron e
henchman r
thug r
hydra medic r
I made so many combinations with those eight beloved figures. Daredevil, annihilus, and scarlet witch(my first vet, sigh) are still some of my favorite figs. I have two rookie daredevils, 1 for playing and the original stays outside of the box as the first fig. my first booster goes as follows.
r cyclops
r proffessor x
v henchman
u captain america
e vulture(with no fig, just base)
yep first booster and I got 4 figs plus unique

Good ol' Quasar.
The rest of the set was V Blase, R Hercules, R Captain America, R Elektra, and a couple others.

Wasn't really into it when it first came out, but I still like Marvel, so I bought a pack to say I did. Of course in that one pack I got a Unique. Juggernaut to be presise. I was content to leave my Unique/pack record at 1 for 1 but with the downfall of the DBZ cardgame, I joined the ranks of the clixers
E Controller and E Boomerang

I remember exactly what my first figs were I bought a Marvel IC booster and a DC HT one. From a Mavel IC booster: E SHIELD Agent, R Hydra Agent, R Bullseye, and E Ultron. From the DC booster: R Arcane, R Metropolis SCU, V Mad Hatter, E Huntress.

Funny Story, I was getting sick of my huge collection of pokemon cards, which all sets were complete, and I decided to sell them, see how much I could get. i ended up getting 75 bucks. With all that money in my pocket thats when I noticed Heroclix. I ended up burning all of it , but hey my highlights of that day were
1. (U) Thanos, igot in my first starter
2.(U) wasp
3.(U)spiderman( i got an extra thanos so I traded)
This is where my obsession for heroclix started!!!

Well, I want the eBay route and paid about $25 for a promo Spidey* before the game was available out, But I did get the Unique symbiote-suit in my first starter :D
*Contemplating doing the same thing for Judge Dredd (he was the first indy comic I ever read) but the current prices on the 'Bay are nowhere near $25 :(
webhead817
03/14/2003, 21:41
First piece was the Promo Spidey, got it from my local shop, and carried it around in my car with me like it was made out of gold. :) Then, the day IC was released, I got a U Spidey in the first starter I opened.

The only figure that I can rember from my first
starter and boosters was a sheild medic and

blade and wolverine a friend gave them to me. they blade had already come of its base.
i went to one of the coolest toy shops ever (sweet dreams) tht gives away a free individual figure of your choice with the purchase of a booster. i picked vet blizzard. i never really use him, but he is one of my favorties!

I started out by buying Vet Hobgoblin for 2 bucks out of a case of one of the four comic stores around here.
I planned on getting some of the characters I liked, manly just Joker, Batman, and Bane for the time being. I saw Hobgoblin and he has always been one of my favorites. So I got him.
Then next week I got V Sabertooth and V Captain America, both for 2 bucks each. Then I decided I would maybe try to play the game a little when Joker and Batman come out. I ended up getting R/E for Hobgoblin, America, and Sabertooth. Those were the characters they had that I liked. They had Klaw and other's like him that are alright, but at the time I didn't intend on getting into the game.
So then I see the mother of all Clix, ULTRON!! I had to have him. I bought him, then I got Jean Grey and Cyclops and probably around then I got a starter and boosters. I never intended to get into it like I did. I guess that's what made the first set really cool. I wasn't on the net looking for info and I didn't know who all was in the set. It was kind of like Christmas seeing new characters come from the boosters, but now I must know who is in the set before hand to determine if I want to preorder a case or not.
So did I get taken for that Vet Hobgoblin? haha

I got my first fig when they were demoing the game at Gencon last summer. Everyone who tried it got a SHIELD Agent.
Went about a month before I broke down and bought my first box (IC Starter). If I remember right it contained:
Firelord R
Prof X E
Wolvesbane
Vulture V
Whirlwind R
Mr. Hyde
Skrull Warrior
Kingpin
I was kind of excited to see Firelord as I liked the character and was suprised they made someone so obscure (Little did I know then how controversial he was). I think Hyde is my favorite out of the lot though.
In my first booster I got:
V S.H.E.I.L.D. Medic
E Klaw
R Skrull Agent
R Hydra Operative
In my Starter Set I got:
U Quasar
V Pyro
V Quicksilver
E Henchman
E Black Panther
R Hulk
R Thug
R Blade
Those figs helped me onto my quest to collect all of the Marvel Herloclix!
I don't remember for sure which was in what, but in my first-ever heroclix purchase (the wednesday it came out), got vet cyclops and a unique juggernaut (blah).
meanwhile, my friend pulls thanos from his starter and unique spidey from a booster....
later that week i bought a few more boosters and got a unique elektra.
and...i do believe that accounts for 100% of my marvel uniques. :(
Ah well. with DC I got an Exp. Superman from my starter, and Darkseid from a booster.

I was already playing Dungeons, and figured I'd buy a single booster. Though I'm not a big Hobgoblin fan, I really liked the look of the figure.
Quasar and my favorate team was always Avengers, I was hooked from then on :)
In my local comic book store, the comic book guy showed me what he thought was going to be a huge craze, HeroClix. He showed me the promotional Spider-Man, and I took note at the figure. Initially I thought it might be neat. When I bought my starter, I got a rookie Hulk, and rookie Magneto. They both sold me right there, and so I decided to buy boosters after boosters after boosters. As much as I was awed by Magneto and Hulk, I usually get Rookie Magnetos and Hulks.... And tagically I never really got a unique figure from IC....
Picked up my first IC starter in mid-May; EVERYPLACE was sold out for some time. Took it home, ripped it open, and examined the contents:
E Elektra (still the ONLY Elektra I've ever pulled, CT included)
E Hydra Medic
V Henchman
R Shield Agent
E Hydra Operative
E Pyro
E Magneto
U Spiderman
That got the ball rolling. That was all I had for awhile, until my favorite comic shop got some boosters 2 weeks later. I then added:
V Magneto
V Quicksilver
E Pyro (again)
R Juggernaut
R Daredevil
E Shield Agent
V Hydra Medic
E Thug
Since then, I've lost track. eBay and countless boosters have dumped piles of clix into my collection. But I'll always have fond memories of that U Spidey taking on Magneto as I tried to learn the rules...:D

I had a Veteran Jean Grey!! I was used to Heroclix from my friend's collection after playing about 10 games. He didn't have it, and wasn't the biggest X-Men fan. So I was looking for her as she is really useful to X-Men teams and I've been a mutant geek since I was 4. But now she's a mainstay of my teams. I had great luck, a red Rogue and a blue Mr. Fantastic soon afterward.

03/15/2003, 01:18
E Blastar, E BLade, E CYclops, and a veteran sheild medic.
1st clix out of the first booster ever: Rookie Constrictor :D
But then again, I got Thanos in the same pack....
Funky Jett
03/15/2003, 01:47
I got a U Spiderman and a V Magneto in my first booster. Funny thing is, I was more excited by Mags. I was hooked when I saw his sculpt. I thought (and still think) it's my favorite one.

03/15/2003, 04:15
My very first clix was none other than Mr. Popular himself, Vet. Black Manta. I just bought him out of a $.25 bin cuz I thought he looked cool, looked online to figure out what those colors on the dial meant... and I was hooked!
Hmm... in my first starter I got U Elektra and E Hercules.

03/15/2003, 13:21
I can remember my first two......promo Spidey came from a comic shop near my home. Two weeks later, at the Motor City Comic Con, WizKids ran a demo where everyone attending got either a promo Spidey or a promo Batman.....I took the Bat!! So my first two figs were the promos.
And then I discovered the wonderful thing known as "ordering full cases"......my bank account hasn't fully recovered from it yet!
When I started this thred, I only said the best in My starter, but I think I'll add the rest of my starter
E Magneto
V Jean Grey
V Bullseye
R Hobgoblin
R Daredevil
E Quicksilver
R Kingpin
V SHIELD Medic
Most of them are fairly popular characters that even a non comic-reader would know, so I was thrilled!
My first was a IC starter set which included Thanos. I knew this was the game for me but sometime down the road I pulles a booster with Red Skull and Mojo sick huh?
MarkStewart
03/15/2003, 17:43
Right away I pulled an E Blade and a V Daredevil, I was hooked from then on. I actually went back to the store that same day and got some more boosters!
Veteran Annihilus and Veteran Rogue.
Maybe that's why I hold her in such high regard...she was my first.
Promo Batman.
Given to me by a local hobby store owner when he failed to get HeroClix IC into stock, having told me that he would...I was upset at the time...
LoL
All the Best

In my starter, I got a U Quasar and V Black cat. So I was hooked pretty early on.
I started my collection with the Promo Spidey and Batman. I bought my first starter pack the week it was released and pulled the U Wolvie. The rest of the starter consisted of E Rogue, V Jean, E Hobgoblin, R Blade, R Daredevil, R Wolfsbane, R Skrull Warrior.

Uh, I just bought my first booster yesterday. Although I'm surprised they don't give you the first one for free...
I got an E Skrull Commando.
Made me feel like Charlie Brown: ..."I got a rock."
Don't remember what my first booster had, but I remember the first time we used a figure.
We were playing Necromunda, and someone grabbed the Promo Spiderman the shop had on display to use for their Malcadon Spyrer.
(For those who don't play the game, a Malcadon Spyrer wears a battlesuit that allows them to shoot webs and climb walls)

i saw a heroclix advertisement in the back of a comic, so i figured i'd buy a pack, and
Rookie Hulk
Rookie Kingpin
Rookie Kang
Veteran Puppetmaster
i liked the hulk, so i've been hooked ever since

I'm a newcomer to the game. I bought my first booster about a month ago, and was a little underwhelmed by it:
R Hydra Medic
R Quicksilver
R Sabertooth
R Hulk
I was a little shocked that I had picked up such popular characters in my first booster. Finally pulled my first Uniques last Thursday (Spiral and Super Skrull).
First ever? Was Promo Spidey. BUT out of a booster? V Wolverine.

The first two are still the core of a winning crew I field all the time.

MARVEL
First starter: V Spiderman and V Dr Strange
First Booster: Nick Fury and E Thing
DC
First starter: U Batman and V Superman
First booster: V Bane
Just the best ones listed, I didnt get into heroclix until about last Christmas, I got a starter pack for Christmas. Until then I wasnt buying any because I had just gotten out of Mage knight, and it was costing me a fortune on boosters trying for the ones I needed. Its like a form of gambling in a way.....
Anyway, I got the starter and the booster, and from then on I thought, why not? And now Im hooked.
I got E Ultron, a Sabretooth and a Blade in my first purchase. Then in my first DC purchase, I pulled U Supes, which was kind of a mixed blessing (but it was the first unique I ever pulled; only in the last couple of weeks have I pulled my first IC unique, U Cap!)

03/17/2003, 05:22
Paibok!
Yes i used my friend's figs to play in a tournament, and got the pity... i mean fellowship prize, my very own paibok. he has still never seen play, not due to a sense of nostalgia, but due to a sense of uselessness.
tautology...isnt that a mathematics term for a truthful statement.....sorry, it's 5 in the mornign and im rambling
My First starter was:
Kang V
Ultron R
Spiderman V
Spiderman E
Blackpanther V
Wasp E
Can't remember the other 2.
My first favorite was E Hulk
My first favorite DC was V Nightwing.
My girlfriend got me a Vet Plastic Man on ebay about a month befoe the set came out.
(I'm a plastic man fan)

My first Booster I got a Vet Firelord. I used him for a while, but I do think Firelord is Cheesy, Broken and all that ####, but he does have a special place in my heart as being my first Veteran.

was completely amazed that they had screwed up his base because it had a green tint. thought i had a one of a kind. was a little dissapointed/interested to find out about ae though. i dont think in any game that i have ever played or seen played that ae has ever come into effect. we need some kind of ae tourney.
