I'm at work, but here's my quick submission.

Wow, that looks just like my cube.

I ran it on my rogue, Grey Kestrel, who went into it with the (In-character. I knew better, of course-) assumption that Statesman was gonna absolutely pound Darrin flat... Something she was very much looking forward to seeing, after he tried to double-cross her.

I'm afraid she just sort of looked at States afterwards, shook her head and said something on the order of, "Marcus, you really are an idiot sometimes, you know that? I mean, seriously... What part of that DIDN'T look like a total set-up to you? ... I thought you were smarter than that, man... And now *I'm* going to have to go clean up this whole stupid mess myself, instead of getting to sit back and watch YOU turn that pip-squeek Wade into a greasy smear on the ground like you were supposed to!... You have no idea how much that's going to suck... And you'd better hope Recluse doesn't pop a freakin' valve over this, buster, because damned if I'm going to deal with his drama on top of everything else... 'For Justice and Kittens', my ***... *kicks a rock* Slacker."

I wouldn't exactly have called States one of her friends... She's never really forgiven him for punching her boss into next week, after all... but she did tend to think of him with a certain amount of good humor, and seeing some trumped-up nobody like Wade do that to him would have upset her more than she'd ever admit.

Rather hard to get a screen shot of this at the moment, but:

I had my Praetorian Shield/Kin tanker do the Pop Dance emote to the Ghostbusters theme over the corpse. It was more funny than it should have been.

You've never heard of HeroClix?

There were a few "indy" heroclix figures made around the time CoV launched. The Collector's Edition of City of Heroes came with cape-less Statesman. Regular editions of City of Villains came with a random figure (Options included Caped Statesman, Manticore, Positron, Ghost Widow, Captain Mako, and Black Scorpion). If you purchased the Collector's Edition of City of Villains, you got all six figures available plus Lord Recluse.

Alternatively, you could also get the Cape-less Statesman in the Hero Gear Kit too.

No, I am very familiar with HeroClix. I wasn't not aware that they did CoH/CoV. And after Wizkidsgames went under, I did not know if HeroClix continued under someone else or if they are still producing the game at all. Trust me, I am very familiar with this click based game and the others, including MechWarrior.

They produced 8 total figures for the Collector's Editions of the game. There's a Statesman in the CoH CE and then a different Statesman, Manticore, Positron, Black Scorpion, Captain Mako, Ghost Widow, and Lord Recluse that come with the CoV CE. One Statesman has a cape and the other doesn't. I think the one with the cape comes with CoV and the one without comes with CoH.

Wizkids was bought by NECA and is still producing new HeroClix. They've expanded to other franchises to include in the game system, too, including Halo (an update of Halo ActionClix to work with HeroClix), Lord of the Rings, Street Fighter, and others.

I'm still hoping they'll consider picking up CoH for more pieces.
