Honestly, Mastermind and 8 AV are an immediate turn off. I really like her trait though.

REALLY!?!?! Mastermind with an 11 attack 17 D is great that you can RS with your sponge (penance) as well as can us Brilliant Tact and Contingency Plan. 8 attack on the last clix is fine considering shes NOT a hulk so shouldnt be as good on her last clix.
This and Wonder Woman are listed as "Promo Figures" in Player's Guide. Does that mean that they are not allowed in official tourney?

Come on!!! If this is Moonstone as Ms Marvel where is the click or two of HSS??? I'll say not bad overall, a little pricey. Sp trait is cool, specially on Prison map. Will probably give her a try, since scored one at Gen Con!!

She's good, just not great for her points.
Promo means you can't pull her from a booster pack, you have to win her at a major con tournament, like Gen Con.

Am I reading this right? She can charge / running shot through walls?
Thatsa' ca-wazy!

Love the sculpt and dial layout, but she's not that much more effective than the HoT version in most situations, and possibly worse in others (Mastermind; lack of HSS). HoT Moonie and Doorman are a much more effective combo for 14 points less, imho, even if the effect is limited to moving through a single wall.

@airdomin8-- Not sure where you're getting that from, Walls and Blocking Terrain are two different things. However, it doesn't specify Indoor/Outdoor Blocking terrain, so at least there's that...
In general, going from a close combat oriented power set to a ranged combat oriented power set is rather ineffective. That largely holds true with Moonstone here. Her opening charge should probably only be used if you're sure that she'll finish off the target; otherwise, she's likely to be damaged on to her ranged powers while being stuck in base contact. It seems like she's more effective if she waits to join the battle until after her teammates have tied up/ engaged the opposition. At that point she ought to provide ranged and outwit support. The problem is that she's better suited as a secondary attacker (since you really don't want to be using her Charge+Super Strength combo on opponent's that can take a hit), but costs as much as a competent primary attacker. That said, she plays fairly comic accurately, and pairing her up with Penance may mitigate some of her shortcomings.

She can go through walls. Judges clarified, walls are blocking for movement purposes, therefore it works.
Was it a local judge of yours? or the HC realms judges? Cuz i do believe it is referring to Blocking terrain as described by the rulebook, but who knows.

Had her RS, PB, and MM all been top dial this would have been a far more effective fig and more worthwhile chasing down. As it stands she's still a decent collectors piece.

I need this piece to complete my Thunderbolts! I just refuse to pay the $100 plus that people seem to think it worth... This ain't no crisis superman!

Yes, I'm almost surely the first Italian player possessing this little Moonstone and I only paid her 60$! I consider myself very lucky!!!
Just picked her up for $40. Prices are falling enough that it's semi-reasonable to pick one up.
Just re-read the core rulebook regarding TERRAIN. It states that solid black lines on indoor maps are walls and are considered blocking terrain. Therefor, her SA is useable to move through walls on indoor maps. Can't wait to use her in a game.

Just to Clear it up for everyone
2011 core rulebook page 11 bottom right corner under Terrain it states
Squares inside a brown boundary line are blocking terrain.Heavy black lines running along the grid of the map are walls,which function as blocking terrain.

Ya know, the trait's wording makes me suspect she can park inside blocking terrain. If so, the's beastly. If not, she's still pretty darn good.

She can't park in the blocking terrain. See the "Rule of Occupancy" in the "Golden Rules" section of the rulebook. Her dial is kind of meh to me for how her rarity.
This may be a stupid question but does her trait effect hindering terrain? Or only blocking.

@Senjir Moonstone just fly right over it. But I suppose if she had flight outwitted or gained Earthbound she does not ignore it.
Thanks for responding y2schwabe. That makes sense.
Anyone know how much this piece is going for now?
Anyone have any idea how much this figure is going for these days?
