The X-Men are returning to HeroClix, but this time its in animated form. Marvel HeroClix: X-Men the Animated Series, the Dark Phoenix Saga brings the classic cartoon to life in HeroClix. We already unboxed an entire brick of the main set. Now let's look at the set's companion Fast Forces set.

This Fast Forces set features Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, Storm, Gambit, and Jubilee in a ready to play configuration. They can form a themed team on their own, but they have dials different from their counterparts in the main set, making them easy to mix and match with the figures you pull from randomized boosters.

The set goes on sale on September 11th, the same date that the main set hits shelves. We're going to take a look at this six figure, non-randomized set. Let us know what you think of this HeroClix Fast Forces set in the comments section, and be sure to get more info from your local games store.
