WizKids Games sent ComicBook.com a sample of the Hellfire Gala Premium Set and a brick of Avengers Forever to unbox and check out. While there was a problem with the Hellfire Gala Premium Set, we still found the entire package to be impressive, keeping in line with WizKids’ premium Galactus figure from a while back. As Avengers Forever, well, it’s always exciting to open up new HeroClix boosters, and this did not disappoint.
Keep reading to see what we pulled from Avengers Forever and get a glimpse at the first HeroClix Premium Set. The Hellfire Gala Premium Set goes on sale on November 2nd. Avengers Forever goes on sale on November 9th.
Hellfire Gala Packaging
Here’s a look at the packaging for the Hellfire Gala Premium Set. Everything looks nice. There’s something regal to the design, and the textures are all soft and plush, including the red carpeted interior holding the figures.
You may notice that one of the figure spots is empty. That’s we’re Cyclops should go. We’re not sure why he’s not there! We assume it’s a packaging error.
Hellfire Gala Figures
Here’s a look at the figures out of their packaging. From left to right, there’s Sunfire, Rogue, Polaris, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Wolverine, and Synch. As mentioned, Cyclops is AWOL.
These figures are easily among the best HeroClix figures I’ve ever seen. The colors are wonderful and vibrant, and the same level of detail used on Galactus is present here. When WizKids says premium, they mean it.
Hellfire Gala Cards
The design aesthetic extends to the character cards Powers and Ability cards. The faux filigree on the PAC will make you feel like the fanciest player at the ball for sure, and those red borders make the character cards stand out.
