We had a chance to check out the first wave of superstar releases from WWE HeroClix, and overall the lineup is fantastic. Just from a sculpts standpoint the figures hold up, with inventive poses and a few larger than life effects to boot
Asuka, Trish Stratus, Ronda Rousey, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Kane all come with some pretty slick effects, though Triple H and Kane’s deserve some special shoutouts. I mean c’mon, you’ve got to love that Triple H is spitting sparkly water and Kane comes with a blazing turnbuckle.
Standouts from the set include Eddie Guerrero, Randy Savage, Sasha Banks, Big Show, Ronda Rousey, The Rock, and Undertaker, though most of the figures look great. There are a few oddballs, like AJ Styles, Ric Flair, Stone Cold, and John Cena, but the positives of the wave far outweigh the negatives.
You can also catch a shot of the ring itself, where players will do battle, though the starter set also comes with items to use like chairs and tables as well as a full map of terrain. You can hit the next slide to see up-close shots of all of the starting figures, and for more WWE HeroClix you can hit me up on Twitter @MattAguilarCB!
