06-02-2010 UPDATE: The Jonah Hex HeroClix mini set has been confirmed! See the details here!
------------------------------
Is Jonah Hex coming to HeroClix? It could be, depending on how you read the latest news from ICV2:
----------
NECA/WizKids has extended its license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products for DC HeroClix in a multi-year deal. The extension includes a number of additional DC HeroClix products for release in 2010 in addition to Watchmen (see “Watchmen HeroClix”), Blackest Night Starter Game (see “Blackest Night HeroClix”), and the previously released Brave and Bold (see “The Brave and the Bold”).
Three additional releases are now scheduled: Jonah Hex, based on the film, out soon; Brightest Day Action Pack, out in October, and the DC 75th Anniversary Set, out in November.
WizKids President Lax Chandra reported that sales on the company’s Brave & Bold set was 30% higher than the previous DC HeroClix release (during the Topps era).
----------
Our take? Having a Wild Western era HeroClix figure wouldn't be completely unprecedented as we do have Two-Gun kid, not to mention other oddities like Silver Samurai and Black Knight. The press release strongly links Jonah Hex in the same paragraph with other HeroClix games, but there is a slight possibility we may see Jonah Hex as stand-alone non-clix game (e.g Freddy vs Jason, Gremlins, etc). Heck, this could be part of a revival for HorrorClix (since Jonah Hex is all about the supernatural).
When there's more info, you can be sure that HeroClix World will be here to tell you about it!
Regardless, this is very good news for Wizkids, and we at HeroClix World are very excited. Have you seen the movie trailer yet?
What are your thoughts?
