FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WizKids and Wizard Team up For HeroClix Events!
January 5, 2005 (SEATTLE) — WizKids Inc. and Wizard Entertainment are
proud to announce a new partnership designed to develop an ongoing
series of high-level events for WizKids’ best-selling HeroClix®
collectable miniatures game (CMG).
“Partnering with one of the biggest names in comics collectables is an
exciting step for HeroClix,” said Mike Samora, vice president of Sales
and Marketing at WizKids®. “We welcome the opportunity to provide our
players with this higher level of competition.” The events will occur in
four three-month cycles each year, culminating in a winner-take-all
championship at each of Wizard’s popular Wizard World conventions. The
first event cycle is scheduled to kick off February 2005.
Each event cycle consists of three levels of competition: a local event,
a regional event and the culminating championship event. Winning a level
of competition automatically places a player in the final rounds of the
next level of play. Prizes for each event will vary, and they may
include prize packs of Limited Edition figures, complete figure sets of
HeroClix expansions and event-exclusive participation prizes, while
supplies last.
Founded by 20-year game-industry veteran Jordan Weisman, WizKids is a
Seattle-based game developer and publisher dedicated to creating
tabletop games driven by imagination. Its Mage Knight™, MechWarrior® and
HeroClix CMGs are among the most successful games on the market today,
and the company has sold hundreds of millions of figures worldwide. For
