01-25-2011: It's time to start an official Street Fighter HeroClix page here on HeroClix World. While we don't have anything directly from Wizkids yet, we do have a very reliable first-hand sighting.This sounds like the single-figure boosters that will be available for Green Lantern. We can probably assume those will be at this $2.99 price point.
A friend of mine went to the Clix-a-thon last week and was thrilled to see a slide show showcasing the new Street Fighter HeroClix! Here's what he had to report...
•There are 24 figures
•The sculpts are absolutely "gorgeous"
•Akuma's sculpt has shadow trails!
•Figures to be sold in indivdual blind boosters, $2.99 per booster, 1 figure per booster.
•Purchasing a case should almost guarantee a full set (or be extremely close)
•There is a Ryu and "Evil Ryu"... different sculpts.
•All figures are in an iconic action pose.
Oh, and we do know that Street Fighter HeroClix is fully compatible with current superhero HeroClix (as Wizkids has already mentioned).

Reign of Doomsday Checklist
 |
| Doomsday Returns! |
Doomsday's back - and while we agree that that's not a good sign for the heroes of the DCU, we can still ask: why did Doomsday return?Part 1: STEEL #1
Well, I asked, and I got a hint back in return. Here's a few words from DC Executive Editor Eddie Berganza about Reign of Doomsday:
"Doomsday is back - and he's hunting down each of the four characters that rose from his first strike on Earth: Steel, Superboy, The Eradicator and Cyborg Superman. Something about those four has drawn him back... And nothing is getting in his way, not even the JLA. That's all I'll say for now!"
Part 2: OUTSIDERS #37
Part 3: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #55
Part 4: SUPERMAN/BATMAN ANNUAL #5
Part 5: SUPERBOY #6
Part 6: TBA (Action Comics #900?)
UPDATED 3/30/11:
Action Comics #900 will now be part of Reign of Doomsday:
Writer Paul Cornell leads off with a 51-page story that concludes the "Black Ring" story and begins the next act of the "Reign of Doomsday" epic. With art by Pete Woods and Jesus Merino, this story welcomes The Man of Steel back to the pages of ACTION, and also features vignettes illustrated by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund, Rags Morales, Ardian Syaf, Jamal Igle and Jon Sibal, Gary Frank and more.
The issue also includes bonus short stories by the writer/artist teams of Damon Lindelof and Ryan Sook; Paul Dini, R.B. Silva and Rob Lean; David Goyer and Miguel Sepulveda; and Geoff Johns and Gary Frank.
Plus, Richard Donner and Derek Hoffman write a story in movie-script form, with storyboard-style art by Matt Camp! And Brian Stelfreeze contributes a two-page spread depicting Superman in an homage to so many of the great artists who have drawn The Man of Steel through the decades.
This has been updated to 8 (or more) Parts:
Part 7: Action Comics #901 (May)
Part 8: Action Comics #902 (June)
Action Comics #902 Solicitation Text: "Reign of Doomsday" marches on! A deadly new foe has risen following the events of ACTION COMICS #900 - and he represents Superman's worst fears personified. Even with Steel, Superboy, Supergirl and the Eradicator by his side, Superman is still in for the fight of his life - and considering his life, you know that's gotta be some fight!
UPDATE 5/22/11:

[From heroclix.com]
Green Lantern Movie Figures - Green Lantern figs are on their way and will be distributed in a couple of flavors. The hobby will get a GL movie 6 pack with maps, dice, and figures (think Fast Forces). We’re also putting out a gravity feed unit with 24 single figure boosters in broader markets. We’ll add these to the preview schedule once GSX has released. This is a micro set in that there are <15 figures in the set. BTW – All new sculpts on these guys!
