I'm glad you like them! I've worked pretty hard figuring out some of their designs, especially Breez. Evo is easily my favourite, I just love him. He isn't the pride and joy of my HF collection, though, that honor goes to... FIRE LORD

I don't mind Nex, I think I might slap an orange chestplate on there, since I kinda like the Orange/White combo. (Right now I'm using Orange/Gunmetal on my custom version.) But I customize my heroes to all hell, so it hardly matters to me what the sets look like, just the pieces.

Tomorrow. Well, technically, later today.

Okay, awesome. Are MoCs/Mods okay in here? I don't have pics ready for a MoC topic proper, but I have some I can post. Rookies to the Core! Alex Cool wielding the Cloud Cutter Savage Claw Mode! Nitroblast never was a fan of smelting ores, now melting bots? That's more like it! A nerdy networker and not-so-talkative tank, the premier duo of the Upgrade! Veteran heroes through and through, you wouldn't want to mess with these bots! Heroes to the Core! So, uh, yeah, I sure love me some Hero Factory.

I built a gothic lolita Hero Factory villain with a long, weaponized pony tail. Still in one piece, though she's missing a piece on her chest.

Man, I can't wait for all the extra hero pieces in this wave, well, after I make Breakout style weapons packs for my old heroes. And the villains. I love the villains this year.

Why not just attach it like so? Then you can use that back balljoint more easily.

I find it perplexing that you can design these unique and well-defined side villains and still have Deviot as your main villain. So yeah, this guy is pretty cool looking, the color scheme works really well and his body is nice and solid. Don't know why he's called Quake, though, he doesn't bring to mind any sort of seismic activity, and his description doesn't make it work. I can't say I care for the blades, they're pretty generic villain fair, even if you attached them a bit more cleverly than the norm. I dunno what would be a good idea since I can't recall your villain line-up offhand, but I think some form of blunt force implement would be a good replacement, and better match his name.

Well, I'll probably be buying all of these. Some of them, multiples.

I'm afraid I'd have to agree.

It was a joke? I'm fairly certain a good number of us were hoping he was a she. And in my fanon, he still is. =P

You don't seem pleased by these new upgrades.

I like the idea, I've always wanted a dude who looked like some energy being in armor. I just don't know how feasible it is with HF bones, transparent plastic isn't the sturdiest stuff around, after all, and HF bones have really sturdily designed sockets. It might not be the best combination.

Besides, the universe needs more truely Strika-esque female characters in it.

Count yourself lucky that you were never witness to the debate on whether Alternity Thundercracker was blue or purple. =P

I personally hope it's Earth Blue, if Bright Blue is what's on Surge, then I'd appreciate the new color more than I would it's effect on Stringer's color scheme.

It's a shame those hips would never hold up in reality, because that's pretty fantastic looking.

Yeah, the 2010 villains are really shelf-warming, it seems, the other boxed villains are too, but not nearly to the same degree.

I'm not getting all the Stormer hate, myself, I think the design looks pretty awesome.

Wow, at this point I really think they're not including Breez on purpose.

I'm glad Evo's voice has changed, myself. His old one was pretty bad.

It kinda fits with Bulk's character though, doesn't it? He doesn't want to be just "the big guy", and is actively working to improve himself. It's one of the things I really, really liked about Savage Planet. And I thought we didn't like tons of silver?

I suppose that's fair enough, I'm too used to reviews being staggered, so stuff that's common between all of them just gets covered in the first review. And yes, your HF reviews are better. I apologize for being a bit rude about it, I hope there's no hard feelings, yes? (Or more appropriately, thank you for reviewing the figures in the first place, I appreciate the preview!)

Wow. Black Phantom and his little Targetmaster buddy are looking damn fine there. Eh, better than the Eurobricks reviews so far. I mean, half of the text in the Superhero reviews is pretty blatantly copy+pasted from each other. =/

I think I'll add EMP launchers into my fanon somehow, even if I still like Plasma Guns as a generic weapon like the Hero Rifle. Yaaaay fanon!
