WIZKIDS REVEALS HEROCLIX TABAPP™ AND MARVEL FIGURE LAUNCH DATES

Hillside, N.J. & Cary, N.C.—September 17, 2012—WizKids Games today announced the release date for HeroClix TabApp™, the much anticipated addition to the HeroClix franchise. An extension of the HeroClix brand, HeroClix TabApp™ is an interactive toy, which combines physical toy miniature figures with digital gameplay designed for the iPad. The free application is set to launch September 23 and will be available initially at Toys “R” Us.

“We’re thrilled by the positive response and excitement from the community surrounding HeroClix TabApp™,” said Justin Ziran, President of WizKids Games. “We can’t wait to end the anticipation with the debut of our Marvel figures at Toys “R” Us stores nationwide.”

HeroClix TabApp™ Marvel figures will be available in packs of three priced at $14.99 USD each. The first Marvel Super Heroes pack, available September 23, includes Avengers favorites Iron Man, Thor and Captain America figures. The Wolverine and the X-Men pack, available September 30, includes Wolverine, Cyclops and Iceman figures.

All HeroClix TabApp™ figures have HeroClix dials; so in addition to using the figures with the iPad, the figures can also be used without the iPad in physical HeroClix tabletop matches. Each figure pack also contains cards for use in the tabletop game and free codes for their digital counterparts in HeroClix Online.

HeroClix TabApp™ is the ultimate portable HeroClix play experience. Utilizing figure recognition technology, HeroClix TabApp™ combines physical HeroClix miniatures with your iPad and offers exciting combat experiences in detailed virtual arenas.
