Wizkids next license... Shadowrun

[Glyfair]

I thought the next license was the Indy comics line of Heroclix they just recently announced...

Technically, that's not a new line - just an expansion of a current line. WizKids considers Heroclix to be a single line. Indeed, they are designed to be interchangeable.

WizKids also has added Crimson Skies ( http://www.wizkidsgames.com/wk_article.asp?cid=37438&frame=Ourgames ) which many have know about for a while. Also, they have announced a Clix game aimed at the 10 and younger crowd called "Creepy Freaks" ( http://www.wizkidsgames.com/wk_article.asp?cid=37454&frame=Ourgames ).

Supposedly, there is still a game system they are working on that's supposed to be announced at GAMA. Rumor is that it's a licensed product, and a big, highly secretive one at that (Star Wars & Star Trek being the leading rumors).

Oh, I realize it's not a new line. But the title of the thread says new license, not new line. Again, another pedantic joke falls flat...

GOOD LORD, THEY'RE HUGE!

That's VERY different from what I was thinking, and looks quite fascinating.

However, a line of Steve Jackson licensed Car Wars Heroclix would still rock.

EDIT - Re-read Krug's post. Hopefully, it's not just rumor.

Good point. I missed that subtlety.

I wonder if it really counts as a "license" when you own the license? (i.e. WizKids owns the Shadowrun license & licenses it out to FanPro to produce the rest of the Shadowrun products).

Oh yeah... can't wait for Shadowrun to come out. Thanks for the info, and I will try to update if I see anything else.

There is one female character, in the back left of the group shot, that does not have a "close-up" picture or a name. Since she's the only one left out, I'm very curious about her. Anyone know who she is or if I missed something?

Oh, yeah, the elven mage looks straight out of D&D. No tech at all, that I saw.

Figures.com Shadowrun Pics can be found here; they give some nice upclose details on the figures, so you can see the paint job quality.

So now Shadowrun will be a click-base miniature wargame instead of a roleplaying game?

It's still an RPG, www.shadowrunrpg.com , and it will continue being it. Now it will be also a click-based combat game

Thos action figures will be mine!!!

Some of the characters are actually the sample characters from the RPG. That might be the Weapon Specialist, but it's hard to say.
None of them had names before now.
