DC HeroClix:
Collateral Damage Expansion Released!

 

February 15, 2006 (SEATTLE) — WizKids Inc., the industry leader in collectibles gaming and maker of the HeroClix® collectable miniatures game and Pirates of the Spanish Main™ constructible strategy game™, announced today the release of the newest DC HeroClix expansion: Collateral Damage.

 

“When super powers clash, things get wrecked,” said Jordan Weisman, WizKids® CEO.  “That’s the premise from which we approached Collateral Damage, and its signature is all over the set, from the incredible sculpts to the selection of hard-hitting characters.”  The first DC HeroClix set to follow the stronger themes announced before last year’s Armor Wars release, Collateral Damage rolls out a powerful theme of urban wreckage, with characters literally bursting through brick walls, wielding car doors and fighting atop steel girders.

 

Collateral Damage also greatly expands the DC HeroClix roster, adding KYLE RAYNER as the GREEN LANTERN, KALIBAK, MARY MARVEL and even the eclectic fan-favorite AMBUSH BUG!  It introduces a new game mechanic — special object tokens — which add unique effects to every battle.

 

Players who purchase a ClixBrick of DC HeroClix: Collateral Damage Booster Packs from a non-Internet retail store are eligible for special incentives.  They can send away for a free (including S&H), exclusive KRYPTO figure and are also eligible to purchase the first-ever HeroClix Collector’s Set — DC HeroClix Giants — early and at a substantial discount (while supplies last).  For more information, visit www.heroclix.com.
