On the third attempt I managed to get the English version of the Catwoman and Robin Funkoverse stand alone expansion. Ok the German version was on me, I should have read the description properly. But the French version was on Amazon and the seller.

That expansion was joined by the four character Jurassic Park set. Which I needed to get the second member of the team I want to play.

The team idea I have is to play the raptor, t. rex, and jaws. I’m calling it boom, slash, splash!

I’ve no idea if the team is any good, synergises or even has any combos.

I’ve not even looked at the character abilities. I just think it will be fun to play. I’ve not even looked at which two items the team will be using.

Despite not having played the game yet. For me this game is all about throwing your favourite characters together and playing. In other words having fun.

It’s not about having everything, and building the strongest most competitive team. That’s a rabbit hole I don’t want to jump down. I’m not saying that can’t be fun. But that’s a side that at the moment I don’t see in the game. It might come with an official organised play scene.

I want to avoid the whole having to buy a set just for an item that works well with a different character. That was the sort of thing you were having to do in X-Wing or Imperial Assault to be competitive in tournaments. I hope Funkoverse avoids that.

There are sets I’m not interested in buying. I’m not a big Harry Potter fan, nor am I that nostalgic to play The Golden Girls. I’m just getting sets that are based on stuff I’m a big fan of. Hence why I have the Jaws set on pre-order (it is the final piece in this team after all). Plus I will get the Back to the Future stand alone expansion. And the newly announced/leaked A Game of Thrones set appeals to me (despite the last two seasons being a train wreck).

So when I play this game with friends who don’t have the game, I will just put the figures out that I have and we will draft the characters we want to play with. With friends into the game we can do the same, or use the official beta organised play rules.

Hopefully this will keep the game casual and fun for me and my friends.

In the meantime I’m looking forward to getting the third and final member of this team next month.
