Check out this special sneak-peek first published by ICv2.com of the Yu-Gi-Oh! HeroClix: Series One 24 Ct. Gravity Feed, releasing February 5th. Series One will feature 55 figures with the following rarity scheme: 16 Common figures, 15 Uncommon figures, 12 Rare figures, 9 Super-Rare figures, and 3 Chase figures.
The Asura Priest (pictured left & below) begins play with its Multiple Arms special power which allows it to make up to four separate close combat attacks in one turn! Of course, when you have so many arms it’s much easier to attack enemies all around you than to concentrate on just one foe, so Multiple Arms has a special condition that no more than two attacks can target the same character.
Early-dial, the Asura Priest also enjoys the benefits of Willpower, which allows it to act two turns in a row with no fear of pushing damage, and Battle Fury. While Battle Fury prevents another friendly character from carrying the Asura Priest into battle, it does allow the Asura Priest to ignore Mind Control and Incapacitate attacks, as well as Shape Change when it makes attacks of its own!

Konami will release, according to ICv2.com, the Shadow Specters Special Edition on December 13th. The boxed product includes three booster packs of Shadow Specters, which released in November, and one of two Super Rare variants: “Stardust Dragon” or “Tuning.”
Both of the Super-Rares are from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s; “Stardust Dragon” is Yusei Fudo’s main monster, and “Tuning” is a spell card with the ability to search for a Synchron Tuner Monster from the deck and put it into their own hand.
If you’re a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game, this is a product you won’t want to miss. Pick up this sweet new must-have item at your local Battleground Games & Hobbies. Makes a fantastic holiday gift!
Can’t decide? No problem – gift certificates available both in store and online!
