WIZKIDS ANNOUNCES DISNEY’S PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN POCKETMODEL GAME

July 23, 2007 (SEATTLE) — WizKids Inc., creator of runaway hit games like the HeroClix® CMG and the Star Wars™ PocketModel™ TCG, announced today its agreement with Disney to produce the Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean PocketModel game.  The game will release in October of 2007.

Under the agreement, WizKids will be able to use content from all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.  The PocketModel game platform allows players to construct 3-D pirate ships from pieces punched out of a styrene card.  Players are then able to use movie characters and action scenes on cards to help control the strategy of the game. 

Since the debut of the Pirates line in 2004, WizKids® has sold over 20 million constructible ships to consumers worldwide.  The PocketModel platform was introduced with the Star Wars PocketModel TCG, and is being continued with the Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean PocketModel game.

“We are extremely excited to up the ante on the already successful PocketModel platform by adding Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, one of the world’s most successful entertainment brands,” said Lax Chandra, WizKids president. “For under $4, players will get the full Pirates of the Caribbean experience through building the models like the Black Pearl and playing the characters like Captain Jack Sparrow.”

Each Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Game Pack (MSRP $3.99) will include everything a player needs to play, including two ships to be assembled by the player, one island/terrain card, a treasure or crew card, a rulebook and a die.  The Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean PocketModel game will be available at hobby retailers nationwide, as well as Target and Wal-Mart.
