HeroClix “No Man’s Land” Event
WizKids is having a DC HeroClix’s event. The event revolves around the Batman storyline “No Man’s Land”. Have your gamers that are into HeroClix check with their local gaming stores to see if they will be participating in this event. Prizes will include limited edition figures, like the Poison Ivy above and a Grand Prize of the Batcave, also pictured above. Good luck to all you gamers.
HeroClix to Distribute Holiday Characters
WizKids is bringing out three 2012 HeroClix Seasonal Holiday Figures. They will be: Hobbit Holiday Elf (for the upcoming Hobbit game); Mephisto (for the Marvel HeroClix game); and White Lantern Batman (for the DC HeroClix game). There is no release date yet. Therefore, your library’s gaming fans might want to hit their local hobby store and see if they can reserve a set. This would even be a cool set to use as a give-away if your library sponsors gaming tournaments with HeroClix.
