HeroClix: Galactic Guardians Colossals
[reposted from ICv2]
WizKids has released more images of and details about its Galactic Guardians HeroClix release, which is currently slated for early April 2012 (see "Galactic Guardians HeroClix"). This expansion for the Marvel HeroClix game includes over 40 new figures that will be available in four different booster formats: standard five-figure boosters, as well as in a ten-figure single booster release, a six-figure Fast Forces Pack, and new Super Boosters, which each contain one of six new colossal figures.
The scale of the colossal figures is quite remarkable. Figures of the size of Galactus and Master Mold have traditionally been reserved for Con giveaways and special promotions—now for the first time WizKids is putting these massive figures in easy-to-acquire Super Booster packs that will available from all retailers who carry the HeroClix product line.

HeroClix: Galactic Guardians
[reposted from ICv2]
"Cosmic powers" are the focus of the next Marvel HeroClix expansion from WizKids. Called Galactic Guardians, this expansion includes some of the most powerful beings in the Marvel comics universe, including the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, and Galactus. More than 45 new sculpts will be included.
This expansion will be available in four different booster formats:
Standard five-figure Booster boxes, with a random assortment from the collection of 45 new figures.
Galactic Guardians Bricks will also include over-sized single-figure Super Boosters—each with one of six different colossal figures, including Galactus and Master Mold.
Annihilators Fast Forces Packs with six figures from the full collection, but with different dial designs not available elsewhere. Fast Forces Packs also include 2 maps and custom dice.
Galactic Guardians Single-Figure Boosters offer sculpts from the full set with different dials unique to this format.
Booster boxes will be packaged as a combination “booster brick,” including eight standard boosters and one super booster. This is similar to the format used for the Giant-Size X-Men expansion.
Galactic Guardians will also include a special “marquee figure,” which replaces the former “Buy it By the Brick” promo figures. The marquee figure for this set will be Super Nova. An Organized Play Kit will also be available for retailers to provide support for in-store events.
