Little Itty Bitty X-Men: Days of Future Past Figures

In the world of collectibles, the smaller you go in scale, the larger a universe you can build. Marvel Legends 6 inch figures boast a large array of characters, but even after years of production, there are still a ton of holes to be filled. Marvel Universe has been around for a fraction of that time and they probably can claim a larger array of characters from main stream to obscure. Head on down to Diamond Select's Marvel Minimates and you'll find a crazy massive army comprised of the entire history of your favorite core characters, story arc specific groupings and mega obscure creations found in three comics tops. Today, our journey delves into the teeny tiny world of Wizkids HeroClix, the only place you'll find both future and past COMIC ACCURATE crews including a complete Brotherhood of Evil Mutants! Here's the rundown via HeroClixRules.com...

Gather the Mini Demi-Gods of Comic-Con

Joss Whedon. Stan Lee. Morgan Spurlock. Harry Knowles. If you are a full time geek, you know the names...and now...you can pit them against Sentinels, Jason Voorhees, Hellboy and a horde of Smurfs for a battle the likes of which you could never imagine before! These 4 tiny titans can be yours in the four-figure exclusive Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope DVD set!

Available this July for a limited North American brick and mortar store release, this exclusive DVD and HeroClix combo pack will contain four HeroClix figures not found anywhere else, and a Region 1 coded DVD. The four HeroClix figures included in this exclusive combo-pack represent key figures who helped make this movie possible. A limited quantity will also be available at San Diego Comic Con as well, so please visit the NECA booth if you’re attending!


















For those new to these lil suckers, HeroClix is set up to be like D&D without all the note taking. Players can game with each piece containing all the stats right in the base/dial. WizKids put out plenty of tiny gaming collections including Hellboy, Freddy Vs Jason, Marvel & DC Comics, HALO and more. NECA picked up the brand and went INSANE with the concept, adding Gremlins, Star Trek, Street Fighter, Smurfs, Batman movies, Lord of the Rings and on and on! Visit Heroclix.com for more details.

Don't feel like playing? Can you live without Morgan and Joss? NECA has an exclusive, limited edition DVD of Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope packed with two also-way-limited mini-figures. Each copy comes with the regular DVD (also available separately), as well as two of its Executive Producers: the Godfather of comic book culture, Marvel’s own Stan Lee, and Ain’t It Cool News founder Harry Knowles.












Apparently ONLY 20k are available and MAY be sold for the first time at San Diego Comic Con, so keep an eye out for more news on that front. I'd expect a signing of some sort would be in the works!

Wizkids Has a Tiny Little Brightest Day

NECA's Wizkids continues their domination of the toy isles with vast legions of little itty bitty supers in the Heroclix lines. Today, we get a sneak peek at their lineup for DC Comic's Brightest Day event.

The DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack, available October 2010, is the follow-up product to the highly acclaimed DC HearoClix Blackest Night Starter Game. Tying in with DC Comics hit Brightest Day year-long series, the DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack includes seven highly detailed HeroClix 3D figures ripped directly from the pages of the Brightest Day comic, plus an all-new, double-sided HeroClix map.

For the uninitiated, Heroclix are 2 inch playable game pieces with all their stats and the means to keep up with how they handle play in their base. Thus, the Clix part! To date, Wizkids have had Marvel, DC and Indie comics clix as well as a horror line including Aliens vs Predator, Freddy VS Jason, Hellboy, Gremlins and some original creeps of their own. NECA revived the line and has been bringing Clix to Toys R US and main stream retail shops ever since.

Watchmen Join the HeroClix Battles

NECA's ressurrected Wizkids HeroClix line gets a surge of new supers from the Watchmen universe! This collector's boxed set comes with 25 miniature figures from the Watchmen movie in awesome display-quality packaging. You'll see in this retailer solicit that they've also got a 14 inch tall Colossal Dr. Manhattan figure on the way (sold seperately from the collector set.) HeroClixers, rejoice! Now you can put giant, naked Dr. Manhattan up against your old Marvel HeroClix Galactus and round out the battle with the HorrorClix Cthulhu!! THE SMACK DOWN OF THE CENTURY!! This epic battle does, of course, hinge on Manhattan being naked though. Otherwise, why bother?
