Gaming News - July 2004

Seattle WA (July 21, 2004) - WizKids and NCsofttoday announced that they have teamed up to create a Limited Edition HeroClix figure.

“The success of HeroClix and City of Heroes shows that the comic book genre couldn’t be stronger,” said Jordan Weisman, WizKids® CEO. “It was natural that the two biggest names in comic book games would work together to provide their players with tastes of each other’s game.” The first Limited Edition figure of the City of Heroes main character, Statesman, will be available through various WizKids and NCsoft promotions, including being featured in NCsoft’s City Of Heroes Collector’s Edition Box Set, slated to be on shelves this winter.

“I’ve been playing HeroClix since its inception and see a natural fit between their game and City of Heroes,” said Jack Emmert, lead designer for City of Heroes. We’re all very excited to be working with the WizKids team in bringing Statesman to another fine gaming system.”

From WizKids:

The Statesman HeroClix figure, sculpted and designed by WizKids’ award-winning artists and game developers, is fully playable in any Open HeroClix game. For more HeroClix information, go to wizkidsgames.com/heroclix. For more City of Heroes information, go to cityofheroes.com.
