Storm, to be specific, and not the wussy "I've lost all my mutant powers through a bad deus ex machina" version. Now, I don't play HeroClix, so I can't figure out why two of my co-workers keep offering to give them to me (I've been promised a Toad figure as well), but there you go...
I have been informed, though, that there will be no Spawn figure in IndyClix, because Todd McFarland is a jackass. Oh, you want further explanation? Okay... he demanded that any Spawn HeroClix figures must have a real cloth cape and real chains on the figure. Tiny chains, I guess.
Apparently, he doesn't realize that the typical figure is, tops, an inch and a half tall, made of plastic, and mass produced.
"Mr. McFarland, we'd like to basically give you free advertising for your comic, by casting a collectible plastic figure that we can mass market."
Response: "Sure, here is my list of completely unreasonable demands, which would not only ensure an incredibly limited run of figures, but no profit margin on this figure, and would also eat into the profit margin on your other products."
Like I said, idiot.
