Star Trek:

June 8, 2010 (Hillside, NJ) – WizKids/NECA and CBS Consumer Products today announced that they have entered into an agreement wherein WizKids/NECA will create HeroClix branded miniature games to be sold both physically and digitally, set in the Star Trek universe, including all of the Star Trek television shows and Star Trek feature films.

“Star Trek changed the way people think about the future,” said WizKids/NECA President Lax Chandra. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to marry our innovative game design and exceptional miniatures with the incredibly rich Star Trek franchise. We believe HeroClix and the Star Trek Universe are ideally suited for cooperative gaming and table top miniature simulation and will speak to gamers in a new and compelling way.”

The first WizKids/NECA Star Trek game will release around Christmas, 2010 with additional expansions to follow.

I can't see it being nearly as enjoyable as HeroClix or even Horrorclix, but who the fuck am I kidding? I'll probably get a few just for shits and giggles. I guess they're going to be called TrekClix? Hope they do better than Halo ActionClix

I still want a Star Trek pocketmodel game.

I thought the whole Clix brand went under awhile back? Whatever, these will sit on shelves for three years before being blown out a Five Below too...

As did I, but it seems that NECA bailed them about, joining them together. Blackest Night just came out for the DC HeroClix series and they've even done a Howard the Duck piece during Secret Invasion.

I'm going to pick my Blackest Night set up Friday, and yes, I have howard the duck. I also have the Atom piece that's just a blank click dial because he's supposed to be microscopic, and the Plastic Man as a mailbox piece

Nice stuff there aeonic. At the peak of my interest, I had the LE Doombot, Nightcrawler, Spiral, Symbiote Spidey, Web Shield Spidey, Hoverchair Xavier, Despero, OWAW Superman, Green plastic John Stewart, Darkseid, Desaad, Black/Silver capeless Superman, LE Arthur Curry, the list goes on.

Apparently Watchmen (using the movie versions) is going to come out this Summer, including an 18" tall Doctor Manhattan.

Yeah, it's actually one that I'm not planning on picking up. I have the Chariot of Thor and the Invincible set on the list still (and they're both still at my local games store) but none of the Watchmen pieces are really very good except Manhattan, and his point cost is not only prohibitive, but I also think you can see his Doctor Manbits in the sculpt, and really, Clix wang? Too much.
