The Halo ActionClix CMG brings the incredible content of the Halo universe to the tabletop via the award-winning Clix miniatures game engine. Players are able to replicate the exciting multiplayer action from all three Halo games using high-quality, prepainted plastic miniatures of Halo characters (such as Master Chief and the Flood) and vehicles (such as the Warthog and Banshee). Each unit has a unique combat dial that lists the unit’s constantly evolving stats and a character card that list specific abilities of that piece. Using different “move and shoot” capabilities, players move their units and vie for the perfect shot.

Halo ActionClix is accessible to all levels of players, letting them jump right into the action and enjoy Halo game mechanics like weapon swapping, figure respawning and vehicle-based combat. The game also shares basic game mechanics with other Clix product lines, so players will be able to play Halo ActionClix with other Clix products.

“With Halo, we are launching our new ActionClix line, which takes great video game content and combines it with our revolutionary Clix game play engine,” said Lax Chandra, WizKids® president. “With its well-developed characters and intense game play, Halo was a slam dunk for our ActionClix brand. Now a week before Halo 3 hits the shelves, Halo fans can for $10 delve into the Halo universe deeper than ever before with over 90 characters and vehicles that include Halo 3 previews.”

As part of the launch, WizKids worked with Target to offer an exclusive Halo ActionClix 2-Pack with pre-orders for the Halo 3 Xbox 360 game. The promotion, which runs through September 16, includes Master Chief and Elite Halo figures. These miniatures can be obtained only through this offer and will be made available when customers pick up their Halo 3 games at Target beginning September 25, 2007.
