HeroClix Batman and Catwoman with Bat Signal Redemption

I haven’t dipped my toes into HeroClix, but keep getting tempted when I think about some of the giant figures I have. My DC Universe Classics Giganta could use some Heroclix to beat up on. Bats and Catwoman here are a special offer figure. Since they’ll be limited in quantity, you’ll want to secure yours soon after the offer goes live at 1PM EST today.

Seeking Redemption

With The Brave and The Bold release right around the corner, I wanted to let you know how we are going to handle the mail away redemption for the Batman and Catwoman brick figure.

Tomorrow at about 1:00 pm EST well kick live  www.wizkidsgames.com/buyitbythebrick and you’ll find the forms you’ll need to complete the redemption process.

The process is very similar to previous redemptions except for the following:

  1. The redemption form will be hosted on our website
  2. We’ve made the redemption form an editable PDF.  No more messy handwriting!
  3. All redemption forms & payments will be mailed to Alliance games in Fort Wayne, Indiana U.S.A. (keep reading)
  4. European redemptions will be shipped from a UK distribution center
  5. All other territories will be shipped out of the US distribution center
  6. International payment options will be honored here in the U.S.

In order to ensure that international redemptions are on a level playing field with domestic orders, we’ll reserve a percentage of the brick figures for international redemptions only.  We’ll inventory balance as necessary and make sure all territories are treated in a fair manner.

In the event that we run out of numbered brick figures before the program expiration (July 16, 2010), we’ll announce the sell out and make a, time limited, last call for The Brave and The Bold redemptions.  All redemptions gathered during the “last call period” will be processed and we’ll reprint unnumbered versions of the Brick figures.

Toy Fair 2010 – NECA HeroClix, Player Select, and Movie Figures Pics

While I didn’t speak to anyone at the NECA booth (everyone looked very busy), I did take some pictures of their action figures in HeroClix, Player Select video games, and movie license categories, excluding Harry Potter and Twilight.  Sorry, fans of those two franchises – I couldn’t bring myself to do it. 😀

WizKids/NECA Announces Watchmen Movie Heroclix

This is a very cool announcement.  A very long time ago, my wife’s father had a set of Watchmen comic miniature lead figures that he painted.  He also had a set of customs in that scale for the other characters that weren’t included in the set.  I can’t wait to see who is included in this set of 25 Heroclix!

WIZKIDS/NECA ANNOUNCES WATCHMEN HEROCLIX

WizKids/NECA, the leader in collectible miniature gaming today announced the Watchmen HeroClix Collector’s Boxed Set and Dr. Manhattan Colossal Figure for the HeroClix game, through a license agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Comics.  Watchmen HeroClix brings the characters of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Watchmen film to gamers’ tabletops summer 2010.

The Watchmen Collector’s Boxed Set includes 25 highly detailed, 3D miniatures including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre.  The Collector’s Boxed Set, which includes a complete set of Watchmen HeroClix figures, comes in deluxe, display-quality packaging.  The Watchmen HeroClix Dr. Manhattan Colossal Figure is built to movie-accurate scale and stands over 14 inches tall. Watchmen HeroClix premieres this summer at San Diego Comic-Con, and will be available at comic and game shops nationwide and on Amazon.com.

“WizKids is very excited to add Watchmen to the HeroClix platform,” said WizKids/NECA president Lax Chandra. “Watchmen is a groundbreaking movie which redefines the way costumed vigilantes are portrayed on the big screen. With 25 unique sculpts in the Collector’s Boxed Set, plus the colossal Dr. Manhattan figure, we’ve got a comprehensive offering that will satisfy both avid gamers and Watchmen movie fans.”

“This continues our long and valued relationship with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Comics, and we look forward to another successful collaboration,” states Joel Weinshanker, president of NECA.

HeroClix pioneered the collectible miniature category and HeroClix has been the leading collectible game in the comic genre due to its innovative game platform and deep collection of characters.

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman as a Star Sapphire is the one deputy appointment from Blackest Night that I found tough to swallow.  I haven’t read a lot of her books, but my notion of Amazon is that of a warrior woman.  Still, it was interesting that her Blackest Night tie-in revealed that her unrequited love interest is… Batman?

Love

The final DC HeroClix Blackest Night preview is the most powerful one of them all!

Wonder Woman

Though Wonder Woman has proven herself a hero time and again in battle, the message she always seeks to spread in the mortal world is one of peace, equality, and love. During the Blackest Night, Wonder Woman’s earlier death and resurrection by the Greek gods opened her to the influence of Nekron and the Black Lanterns – but her immense love for the planet Earth and all its people allowed her to be saved by accepting a violet power ring and joining the Star Sapphires.

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010.  The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more–reserve your copy at your local retailer!

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Atom

The Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals return, with the Atom in his Blue Lantern deputy tribal outfit.  This is probably my least favorite of the deputy costumes, but the translucent effects look pretty spectacular.

The search for Ray Palmer is over. He’s in the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game!

The Atom

A stalwart member of the Justice League, Ray Palmer’s life was torn apart when he discovered that his love Jean Loring was a murderer. Even after taking a pilgrimage into the multiverse in search of a new purpose, the Atom found he still felt empathy for Loring and all those who had brought evil upon the innocent. In the rise of the Blackest Night, the Atom’s rare compassion allowed him to join the Indigo Tribe and wield the power of their light.

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more – reserve your copy at your local retailer!
