Spider-Girl HeroClix

Despite my lack of knowledge on how to play, I've always appreciated the HeroClix tabletop game. Today I'll be taking a very brief look at the current and upcoming Spider-Girl miniatures available for the game. 

The first Spider-Girl miniature for HeroClix was released in 2008 as part of the Secret Invasion series. Figure 041 here is actually the only one I own myself, and is apparently rare.

The next time a Spider-Girl miniature released was as figure 008 of 2016's Superior Foes of Spider-Man series. The first image below is the computer render from the official site. A black and white painted 'sketch variant' is also available, but I think the best part of this piece is the attention to detail on the abilities card.

Finally, we have the newest figure which is due for official release February 6 this year. From the Earth X series, we have figure 001a. Apparently this version of May 'Mayday' Parker is a variant of the Earth X Venom miniature which would explain the costume inaccuracies somewhat.

I really love the attention to detail with the nod to A-Next and May's strength in comparison to her father. Nice touches. I'm considering tracking these figures down just so I can have them for my collection. Who knows, perhaps one day I'll even learn how to play!

Until I master the tabletop game format, I remain

Mayhem for Spider-Man Unlimited

I covered it months ago but now it's finally materializing: Mayhem will soon be playable in the Spider-Man Unlimited mobile game. There is no official release date yet. Here is the leaked card art:

Mayhem

What I wasn't expecting and what I'm pleased to share with everyone is the addition of Spider-Girl to the game. What? She's already been in the game for two years? Oh....but this is the REAL Spider-Girl, April Parker, dontcha know? 

Spider-Girl (April Parker)

This appears to be April's costume prior to her downward spiral into Mayhem. I hadn't thought this costume would be on the cards for the game. Maybe there is hope for other MC2 Spiders. Gerry Drew, anyone?

While I continually find Gameloft's dedication to representing MC2 characters, I'm still baffled by their lack of attention to detail, such as the newly available Black Suit Spider-Girl's first appearance being given as Spider-Girl #97, when it actually debuted back in Spider-Girl #75. It's even featured on the cover, so it's not that hard to figure out. Let's hope in future they either correct this information or at least pay more attention in future.

But nevermind all that. Tomorrow is Christmas and it's about time I headed to bed.

Until I stop spending time (...and money) on this bastion of MC2 representation in other media, I remain

Look Who the Cat Dragged In!

So, it's only taken me this long to pull this particular Spider from the portal. I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

 

 Until the next MC2 character is added to the game, forcing me to game hard to satisfy my obsessive need to collect everything MC2, I remain
