That, sir, is a darn good question.

I had similar thoughts but I can't see him being that expensive. My first thought was that he would get bumped up to 75 pts like the other 3 (NO, Ozy, and Silk)........but the points aren't going to work out very well.

It is almost upon us! Are you prepared for the Quarmageddon?

Not really excited by this dial. The Collector's Set one trumps it easily.

GSX and more for sale-- virtually everything in the set!

Not that I think they're overcosted...just that I feel like on 300 teams, those characters should be taking up less room.

I have to agree, as much as I like Rorschach in both the comic and the film. I don't really see him being more than 100pts. But we've seen crazier things happen.

Oh well. Still a really good figure for her 75.

Actually, "figures whose name contains" is used in HeroClix, sometimes. Star Wars Minis did one better, with a functional Highlander rule driven by "Counts as (Luke Skywalker)" as part of the rules with figures such as "Luke Skywalker, Rebel Hero" and "Luke Skywalker on Tauntaun". It's why I liked the Highlander rule in Star Wars Minis and staunchly oppose it in HeroClix--the game rules in Star Wars Minis implemented it cleanly and without need for interpretation, whereas in HeroClix it's a sticky mess of judgement calls.

There are many concepts that SWM did better than HeroClix, and I wish they'd steal some of them, especially now that SWM is no more.

I'm really looking forward to the FF Pack!

In the meantime I'm just enjoying watching this unfold... and am finding myself more interested in seeing who still has the collector's set for sale -- at a good price, of course.

Right. On the other hand, we've seen crazy power levels crammed into 100 pts and less, too.

I continue to watch with interest.

True, he could very well be extremely overpowered for his point cost. I'm totally happy with that as I think this set needs one more good figure to round it out.

Why do you keep talking about stealth? Neither version has any stealth.

Could Rorschach be only 25 points instead of 125? I'm sorry but Rorschach should never be close to Dr. Manhattan in point cost. . .

That occurred to me as well, making the FF Watchmen round out at 500, but I think 25 for Rorschach is too low for what he should be capable of. If he reaches anywhere near 100 or 125, I believe it will be more due to Traits or Special Powers that unify the team and not overall numbers. I'm hoping for something very unique anyway.
