Today we
are going to review the Legacy POG Harvey Bullock
Harvey
Bullock is from the Batman Series and a member of
the Gotham City Police. Basically he would be the
big shot around town if it wasn’t for Batman
stealing his glory. Personally, I love this
character. A fat cop that complains about citizens
(Batman) catching his crooks is just brilliant.
A WORD ON
POGS: I personally hate the Pogs. I dislike the
idea that they can be used in competitive play to
tie up figures or hide behind with trick shot.
Nubula with 10 Aunt May Pogs and trick shot, pretty
much can not be killed. The Fact that a veteran
Superman needs to “break away” with Iris West-Allen
seems ridiculous to me. I love getting that
something extra in the pack and I love the idea of
doing a “save Ben Urich” scenario, but if we are
taking competitive tournament, the Pogs can be way
too abused. I hate playing with them, but I do when
I really want to win.
Cost and Abilities:
POG = 12
Points, 1 clicks of life, 6 range / 1 targets,
Police Department team ability
Movement:
5
in movement. That is low, even for a Pog. Maybe
his large butt would get a 10 movement if he was
fighting a donut.
Attack:
8, which is pretty good for a 12 point character. A
veteran Henchmen for 12 points has as a starting
attack of 7.
Defense:
14, that is low. No comparisons or point totaling,
if somebody wants to hit him they will. He does
have toughness, but since he is only one click and
will be hit if somebody wants to, I feel the
toughness is wasted. Although Bullock can kick
other Pog butt with it.
Damage:
2. Two is actually amazing for the point cost. He
is the rare attack Pog.
Sculpt:
What sculpt? Stupid, stupid Pog!
Team Ability:
Police Department Team Ability. This is great on a
Pog. He adds + 1 to any adjacent characters attack
value when making a ranged combat attack that both
figures have a clear line of site too. This is a
fantastic ability and can really tip the probability
tables. Ya got that…. If not click on this link;

Overview:
I don’t like Pogs. But this one doesn’t fit in the
rotation like the rest. He is 12 points not 4.
That is a big difference. So the question you have
to ask is; “Why use him and not 6 Franklin
Richards?” The team ability is nice and if you are
playing mainly wildcards then it could work for you,
but then and only then.
How to Beat Him: Attack him with anybody that can hit for two. Or hit the Pog
with your Slammer!
How to Play Him Make that wildcard team, with Loki, Jinx, Spiderman and the rest
and abuse that team ability. But make sure to hide
Harvey in a corner.
Overall Score:
300 Point Games 1.5/5 (Low defenses make his team
ability not that useful)
400 Point Games 2/5
500 Point Games 2.5/5 (High Defense values, that
team ability can turn the tables)
Fun Games 0/5 (Does anybody have tons of fun with
tying up their friends monsters with Pogs)
