1/6 Scale Real World Dream Team Game

[Corrose]

Hey all,

I have been going through an emotionally tough situation on the home front, and I was looking for a little creative outlet to take my mind off of things, and I'd love for any of you to participate if you like. This is in the same vein of fantasy football, or creating your dream-team in Marvel Vs. Capcom.

The Setting:
An apocalyptic planet Earth. Not necessarily zombies, and you don't know what caused this event, you just awoke in it, and have to survive. You have no clue if other Cities/States/Towns/Countries survived or not. You don't know if there are enemies, outlaws, bandits, psychopaths, or if there was some sort of invasion or outbreak. You have to make your choices blindly, not knowing what you might be facing.

Your team:
Obviously you are the leader of your team, and you can choose 3 team mates to accompany and follow your lead. The catch is, any team mate you choose has to be a character from your 1/6 collection. These can be custom figures, licensed or otherwise, but must be 1/6, no statues or other scales. In other words you can't choose Thor from Avengers if you do not own the figure. Another example is if Marty McFly was already out and you owned him, picking him doesn't allow for time travel, because vehicles are off the table.

Limitations and Considerations:
- If you choose a character, all of their rules apply to this fictitious situation. If you choose Superman, Kryptonite exists on this planet, and Luthor could be out there.
- If you choose a character, you are limited by what your figure has. Fr example, if you choose Batman, you don't get his wealth, his batcave, his vehicles, you get what he is carrying, his knowledge, his skill set, fighting abilities, etc, not what he used to have access to.
- You can mix villains and heroes, and there is no concern of conflict. If you have say, Batman and the Joker on your team, you get the benefit of their skills, and they follow your lead, no rivalry baggage on your custom team.

There's not really a point to this exercise necessarily, I just want to see how creative people can be.
Let me know what your team would be, and give me the "why" for each character. I think it could lead to some fun debate and discussion. For me the fun is in breaking down a characters weakness and strengths, and seeing who has the chops to make it with nothing more than the items they have on their backs and in their pockets.

I want this to be a fun, upbeat thread, so please, please don't get all technical and try to pick apart the fun.

Well that's easy:

1) The Dude Lebowski. You would need someone with the right attitude in such a situation, and he would be the man for the job. "**** it man."
2) Tyler Durden. Having an invisible friend would also be helpful, and the serious psychological damage necessitating his creation is inevitable.
3) Snake Eyes. Bad ass ninja to hunt and provide protection. Also, be nice to have one guy not blabbing on all the time.

Nice picks, it actually didn't occur to me to have someone who can provide a sense of calm and cool like the Dude.
Very clever choices.

1)Leonidas
2) the wolfman
3) predator

 

[RavenEye]

1. John Marston - Expert Marksman with legendary Dead Eye Sixth Sense where time stands still so targets can be picked off genuinely, has necessary outdoor survival skills, has survived a Zombie apocalypse and has deeds to the four horses of the apocalypse who never die.

2. Johnny Gat - Member of the 3rd Street Saints who can adapt to any situation, finds fun in killing psychopathically, loyal to a cause worth fighting for and has no sense of fear of death.

3. Commander Cody - Part of 212th Battalion as acting lead Marshal Commander who can command, knows advanced tactical warfare and has the means of short controlled flight for sniping positions with a jetpack.

 

[Lejuan]

1) Albert Einstein - he is wicked smaht. And easily capable of programming the muscle.
2) T-800 - da muscle. Loyal, virtually indestructible and capable of learning heaps of useful stuff.
3) Winston Churchill - top-shelf strategist and motivator.

I am so bummed I don't have a Black Widow doll

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Really neat idea and hard to pick just 3, so many variations of skill sets to mix and match!

Here we go:

1. Riddick:

There isn't any character more adept at being isolated on alien landscapes and surviving, even thriving. Is your planet's landscape on fire? No problem. Perhaps your planet's landscape is covered in an ice sheet? Been there, done that. Or maybe your planet is experiencing an alien invasion of shape shifters? Piece of cake. Complete with night vision, brains and braun Riddick has me covered.

2. Davy Jones:

The heartless Captain of the infamous ghost ship the 'Flying Dutchmen' which has the ability to dive to the bottom of the sea (the perfect place for your post-Apocolypse base!) and gather souls to serve on board for a century at a time. Quite an easy recruiting method to build an army of sea monsters (and who wants to fights them? Nobody) as well as provide global, oceanic transport. Davy may even patch up relations with the sea goddess Calypso, and that's an ally worth having.

3. Tony Stark:

'Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.' This guy makes Albert Einstein look like a high school drop out. Tony built a world changing invention (the Mark 1) in a cave while hostage , with a box of scraps! After the Apocolypse Stark will have Jarvis up and running in a week flat, and after that he'll be churning out new Iron Man suits daily.

Where did you get a Johnny Gat figure?!!

[steven.giunta]

1 cristopher reeves superman,I was thinking about mos supes but if I get killed reeves can fly round the planet back words and turn back time to save me.
2 would be hulk,if someone got close with some krypyonite ,it would be hulks job to get it and throw it miles away.
3 would be a toss up .the t1000 can be programmed to follow my every command and he can also turn into a metal blanket and shield me from gunfire.or maybe it would be cap 2 black widow,no expel nation needed why.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Indiana Jones
If I'm in an apocalyptic wasteland, I need someone who is resourceful and has a knack for getting out of tight spots.

Boba Fett
Again, super resourceful dude, he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, a true survivor.

Darth Vader
Dude survived being dropped in a volcano, has magic powers and a sword that can cut through anything. If he's not on my team, he's on someone else's and I can't have that guy against me.

 

[Corrose]

Some very clever picks, and even greater reasoning.

I thought about my choices for awhile, and a lot of my initial picks I declined because of their dependancies.
Boba fett as an example, once he fires off that rocket, good luck finding another rocket. Jetpack exhausts all of its O2 or whatever it uses, jet pack is useless, wrist darts get fired, unless you find more those are useless. Same with characters with guns. All the bullets get fired. You have to loot more ammo or pray you find a gun shop that hasn't been looted.

So for mine I wanted teammates that rely less on devices or specific ammo types.

1) Bruce Lee - doesn't need much explanation. Hands down the most mastered martial artist in history. He can take anything from hands and fists to a broom handle and make it a weapon. Most any kind of debris or trash could become a weapon. Excellent at sizing up an opponent and finding weak spots.

2) Not sure if this breaks the rules or not but my second pick if I'm allowed, is Sandman. The black suit spider man came with sandman, but he's technically not a figure. Sandman is incredibly versatile for getting into places with small openings, can cause sandstorms for crowd control, can't be shot, stabbed or blown up in sand form. Can exponentially grow in size to fight large enemies or crowds.

3) Berserker predator - incredibly tough to kill by human standards, super strength and hunting skills. Blades on arms never run out of bullets
A tank type role who can take the big hits while the other teammates lay on the damage.

4) If sandman doesn't count I would go with Evil Ash.
While I don't think he necessarily is a great fighter, he can summon the dead. And in an apocalyptic world there's going to be millions of dead to raise.
Even though you can easily cut one of these skeletal minions down, if you're facing a dozen with weapons, that's a different story. Let alone him raising thousands of minions. Also EA can't be shot or stabbed. Not impossible to kill but pretty tough.

Where did you get a Johnny Gat figure?!!

Custom my dear sir.

 

[agonistes86]

Jim Lee Batman: Well, because he's Batman. Although his gadgets from his utility belt will run out after a while, Batman always knows a way out of a tricky situation, and he's a survivalist.

Darth Vader: Because he can use the force. And I doubt his lightsaber will run low on batteries anytime soon, and a cutting tool that cuts just about anything is always handy. You can even cook your meat with it if you're careful.

T2 T-800 (Galleria look, before all the BD): Great fighting machine, can be programmed to do whatever I want, and from what the movie taught me, he can actually become a sort of friend.

Unfortunately I don't have any laid back characters in my collection that would be nice to hang with, nor any women.

 

[Solidus]

Custom my dear sir.

That's awesome. I love Saints Row .

 

[Ajkhunter]

Great idea Corrose!

This was tough for me, but my three are:

1. Dexter Morgan - Extremely smart, psychically strong, has no problem killing people for me haha, and very stealthy.

2. Blondie - Cool, calm, and amazingly fast and accurate with a gun, a good man to have in a tough situation.

3. Luke Skywalker - One word... the FORCE! I mean come on no brainer haha, plus with his lightsaber we'd kick some serious ass.

Now not sure if this is allowed but that was my good guy team, if I wanted to be evil (aka like the Governor) id go with these three:

1. Dark Helmet - The Schwartz! Plus he is insanely funny and you need comedy when you are doing evil ****!

2. Daniel Plainview - I am going to categorize him as evil haha, he is very smart, and is a great business man, obviously there is no businesses left but he would be great to rule an area and create an empire, whatever new world empire that is.

3. Bane - My Muscle, intimidator.

 

[ebor]

I will play:

1) Blade: Daywalker with the 'necessary skills' against the undead; incredibly fast, with lots of lethal weapons. And he's a guy dressed in black looking bad ass.

2) Darth Vader: A dreamer, and a doer, a persuasive leader; he could crush zombies throats and just use the Force to smash things, move objects and cause general havoc--plus he's also dressed in black looking bad ass.

3) THE TUMBLER: just imagine Vader in the driver seat with Blade as his co-pilot-- one word UNSTOPPABLE! (PS also BLACK and Bad ASS!)--dammit vehicles are off the table!!!

3a) Mars Attacks! Martian Ambassador: Yes he's glitzy and an little off-worldly, but as a partner from a different solar system, he can summon all his minions, and the mother ship to deal with Earth's problematic rogues.

 

[batfan08]

Well, I guess the size of my current collection has made my choice for me :

1.Blondie-He's a crack shot who seems to have a ridicuolous amount of luck and fortitude. Hopefully, some of those qualities can rub off on me.

2.Superman-He's the only other figure I have right now, and, frankly, if the dude's following my lead, we're pretty much unstoppable. I'll just have him hover above the Earth at all times, and, if there are zombies, he blasts them from space with his heat vision, like a drone with Red Underwear. I mean, think about it: he doesn't need to eat, or sleep, and he can see and hear you perfectly from up there.

Also, Steven Giunta made an excellent point, since this is the Reeve Superman. He could just rotate the Earth and the whole situation would be avoided.

 

[Dr. Odd]

Wolverine- badass, heightened senses, resourceful, virtually indestructible

Predator- badass, sneaky, good hunter

Vader- badass
