Topps To Buy HeroClix Makers WizKids

Posted by simoniker on Monday June 23, 2003 @09:48PM from the sport-clix-here-we-come dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to an official press release indicating that collectible strategy game maker WizKids has been bought by sports card maker Topps. WizKids are particularly well-known for their comic-book based HeroClix collectible strategy-game miniatures, which come in DC, Marvel, and Indy flavors, as well as other products in the Mage Knight/MechWarrior/Shadowrun lines - their well-known founder, Jordan Weisman, also founded FASA Corporation/Interactive, and helped create the AI web mystery game.

I play many WizKids games, and I'm also an active player of the FASA games that Wizkids has the rights to. I'm intimately familiar with almost all of the combined properties. Basically, what I'm saying is that if I find a stick of chewing gum in my next MW:DA booster, I'm gonna kill someone.
