Topps shuttered WizKids shortly after. All of the WizKids assets were then purchased by NECA, another sports memorabilia and general collectible company...EXCEPT the rights to Shadowrun. Those were still held by Topps.Meanwhile, all video game rights to Shadowrun are permanently owned by Microsoft as part of their purchase of FASA Interactive in the 1990s.Yeah, the rights are a bit of a mess.</blockquote>
