Yeah, go the HeroClix route. You can buy lots of hundreds of them for pennies on the dollar! Though I typically cut them off their clix discs and rebase them.

my FLGS still has hundreds of Hero Clix for 50 cents,

To rebase them I found wood disk at Jo Ann's craft store that are 1" the same as a D&D mini base and I have been putting clix on them after painting the wood disk black

I'll ditto everyone else on Heroclix. My only complaint is that the clix bases are a bit big, but they can be replaced if you're up for the effort.

You can also find a good assortment of Heroclix singles at coolstuffinc under the headings of Marvel, Indy or DC.

Another option to look at (especially for players) is Reaper's Chronoscope line. They've done some cool metal super miniatures.

Wow, you were right about Toad and Troll. Heroclix for .15 cents? darn cheap. Paid more in shipping then the 50+ clix I bought. Laughing

De-based around a dozen or so Heroclix and based on 28mm bases, applied black primer and two superheroes painted. They look better than the originals, especially since I can color them to represent their character design.

How did you get them off the click bases?

Feels like my x-acto blade is going to snap before the glue gives way.
