The next full set of Heroclix to launch after Giant-Size X-Men, will be another Marvel set - Captain America, which will release in June.



There are a number of other products that will be releasing between now and then, and when we have more information on how you can get that at Merlyn's, we'll let you know about that.

To give credit where credit is due, I, once again, must credit the good folks at HCRealms for finding this information. Here is a link to the thread where I discovered this info:

Some crummy news: It appears this product has been pushed back to July.

The half-glass full, though, says this is just fine, since America's birthday is in July. It is only appropriate that a Captain America Heroclix expansion arrives in the same month.

Also, to make me feel better, here is a link to information on the Winter Guard, the superheroes of Russia in the Marvel Universe:

As mentioned in the ad above, the Winter Guard will be in this set. We don't know how many of them or which ones, but they will be there. Personally, I'd say Ursa Major and Darkstar are sure bets. Next most likely would be Red Guardian and a remake of the Crimson Dynamo.

NOOOOO! How can I possibly wait that long for my new Nick Fury!


Also we can only hope that Ursa Major is in there somewhere...

It looks like Captain America is going to be another set that could go quickly, with distributor orders already dictating a sell-out at the manufacturer level. Wizkids has already said they are considering the feasibility of a small second run of these. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping this will be the case. I want as many of you to get your hands on these clix as possible. This set looks so fun!

In the same press release, Wizkids confirmed a new sub-theme for the set, the Serpent Society, classic enemies of Captain America. Following is a link to their Marvel Wiki page...
