ReZourceman Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Anyone heard of Heroclix? Horrorclix? Well the guys that make them http://www.wizkidsgames.com are making a Halo minis game this year. They make sweet games...should be pretty sweet!
The3rdChildren Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Looks like I'll be buying a few of these sometime if they're nicely detailed. Also hoping we see some Gremlins in the Horrorclix, since they had a poll with Gremlins as an option for what people would like to see. Also Ghostbusters. I'd collect more of the Pokémon trading figures if they weren't so damned expensive. I know they're Kaiyodo figures, but the collection is still ridiculously priced for something that would primarily appeal to children.
ReZourceman Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 The Halo miniatures look nice. The name is "Halo ActionClix" sounds like they will be *Somewhat* compatible to the other Clix ala Horror>Hero.

EEVILMURRAY Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I'm surprised Citadel hasn't made a game from them.
ReZourceman Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 I'm surprised Citadel hasn't made a game from them. Huh? How come....The only licensed thing they've done is LOTR. Wizards and WK have done more licensed properties tenfold.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I know, but I'm still surprised they haven't tried raping something so popular.
