WIZKIDS/NECA ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH CBS CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO DEVELOP STAR TREK® GAMES
[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.

===================================Yellow ALERT ============================================

Yes, me too. Eating and sleeping, unlike Raven...
Never played HeroClix, but I did collect the MechWarrior: Dark Ages minis for a little while.
Oh! I do recall seeing something of that sorts in a workshop. Sorry I didn't get the "Clix" reference.
There'll be two games. One will be a collectible miniatures game packaged like Heroclix, but with spaceships. (And thus incompatible with the other Clix games).
There's also going to be a self-contained co-operative board game, using Clix elements. Up to four players would play crew members attempting to complete missions together. This will also be incompatible with the other Clix games.
I was kinda holding out hope on there being a Gowron figure. The worse the paint job they do on his eyes, the more realistic it'd look.
Yes there were a set that came out with City of Villains and all that.
i'm with cappy on this , i've never heard of heroclix either
P.S.: They better add Klinks, Gorn, Nausicaans and Rommies to the game dangit! Those are my favorite races! XP
P.P.S.: More direct linky. They lead to the two sets due out late fall.

Yeah I know! LOL, Gowron eyes ftw! XD
Did they even finish reviving heroclix yet?
Wizkids needs to spend more time reworking and balancing their existing products then just launching something 'new' and yet the same, every 6 months or so.
I wonder if this will get as mishandled and go as haphazardly as the mechwarrior line.
You forget, NECA is running them now, which was known for good quality action figures and the like (My fav done by them is the "Sin City: Marv" one in a electric chair. XP). And where I am, Heroclix does rather well. Mage Knight, Horrorclix, etc..meh not so much. Of course, I'd probably get them anyway just to put them on display even if they didn't work out. X( SF Battles ring a bell? :rolleyes:
That's easy, give them the "KO" clicks used in heroclix instead of the dead "skull" clicks used in Mage Knight, Horror Clix, etc. "Wha, they're not dead, just taking a nap. XP"
*sigh* And at least I can take heart from the fact that the franchise is back in the original hands... :rolleyes:
I don't expect them to be on the long run with their ST game, I more believe they want to grap some fast cash with it. Beside I don't expect good quality or rules for the game either.
win.
