Well, believe it or not, the guy finally was banned.
Too bad he will not be around to see the sneak-peeks from his famed POWERBOMB set.
By the way, I'm one of the sculptors for this set. I'm working on the "Nutty Green" LE version (special mail away) for Mr Hanky right now. With enough fiber, there will be one for every clix collector.

And so ends a hilarious thread. Who among us will be the next to sacrifice his membership in HCRealms to entertain the masses for about 22 hours? Only time will tell.
But of course, but without our little buddy telling us new gems about Heroclix Headquarters and his Uncle the Astronaught/Scientist/Topps/WK employee, what more can be said beyond what has been already?
Wow! I didn't know the Uncle was an astronaut too. Maybe he is really one of the Thunderbird team like Brain. Maybe his Uncle is the Chinese Astronaut.
Hello everyone thisss isss Cobra Commander. Yeah I know what my sssscreen name sssaysss but you can't go around advertisssing that you are the one trying to take over the world now can you? Anyway thiss Demosthenessss1 was incorrect. Hissss uncle (we'll call him Duke ssso as to keep his true identity sssafe) did work for Microssssoft but hisss ssside-job wasss working from me at COBRA headquarterssss! Anyway, after Dr. Mindbender went to work on Duke, we found out that the world at large now knowssss about our POWERBOMB ssssso we were forced to ssss#### the plansss for now. Demosthenesss1 wassssn't sssso much banned asss much asss he wasss eliminated for leaking the ssssecretsss of Cobra. Thanksss for your time and all hail Cobra!
Catering to the lowest common denominator since Feb 2003.
Originally posted by Gorodish Actually, there is a grain of truth to this. Topps will be repackaging some of the older figures together with gum or candy in a plastic shell to compete with Nestle's Wonder Balls (which include Disney toys). The figures included will come from earlier sets and fetaure the most recognizable characters from both DC and Marvel. DC and Marvel "powerBombs" will be packaged seperately. Much like the Free Hulk give-away all characters will be Rookies, to keep the collectors from rioting. (So no cheap Nightcrawler). I'd expect Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain America, Hulk, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Flash, etc.
Um, was that sarcasm or not? 'Cause if not, that'd be pretty cool...

However, they had to leave room for more expansions. The next set will focus on tag teams. It will be called, HEROCLIX: DOUBLETEAM.
Here is the exclusive Press Release, not yet released to public:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
WIZKIDS ANNOUNCES NEXT GENERATION OF HEROCLIX GAMES.
October 19, 2003 (Seattle) - Wizkids will release their next generation of dial-based games, with their newest game, HEROCLIX: POWERBOMB.
The gameplay will be very similar to other HEROCLIX games, however, it will not be compatible with Marvel, DC, or Indyclix gaming systems. This game will also be independant from the upcoming SPORTSCLIX system.
Jordan Weisman, CEO and President of Wizkids, said that "While the gameplay will be very similar, the "powers" and "abilities" have been drastically changed to compensate for realistic strengths and weaknesses. This was intended to make gameplay more realistic." Weisman also stated that "Initially, we were going to call this game WRESTLECLIX, but we thought that the HEROCLIX name was fitting for this game system as well, due to the fact that wrestling has had it's share of heros and villians, just as the comic book world." The company has kept this project under wraps for quite some time, as they worked vigorously to acquire licensing rights for past and present superstars.
Wizkids had great success in acquiring the licensing rights for all current WWE superstars, as well as legends from the past. Vince McMahon, CEO of the WWE, said "Our partnership with Wizkids will be a long and prosperous one. We believe in their games, and we believe this one will be a huge success with gamers of all ages."
The planned release date for HEROCLIX: POWERBOMB! is slated for January 21, 2004. However, production is behind schedule, which may push the release back to mid-March.
Recently acquired by Topps Corporation, WizKids manufactures and distributes collectable miniatures games. The company invented the category in 2000, and its games are now played in more than 56 countries worldwide. To date, WizKids has sold more than 100 million miniature figures under the Mage Knight, MechWarrior and HeroClix game brands, making it one of the fastest-growing game companies in the United States. For additional information, visit www.wizkidsgames.com.
For those of you not paying attention, this IS a joke. I wish this was true, because I think I have a great roster for the first set, perhaps way too many powerful stars.
BTW,
Freakazoid, YO JOE!
MY GI JOE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Flint walks into a house with no parents and two kids on the internet....(after watching them through the window, lol)
"Hey kids, when you get on message boards on the internet, make sure the information that you are posting is truthful. Posting false information could result in flaming, which is a bad thing. Remember, if you can't back up your claims, then don't make them. The internet community will appreciate you for this and it will make for a more pleasant on-line experience."
Kids say: "Thanks Flint, now we know."
Flint says: "and knowing is half the battle"
GI-JOE!!!!!
One last thing...
Whoever said it...I'm totally 100% agreeing with you about the JOE SCHMO claim. I called it from the beginning, MATT IS IN ON IT!! It still makes for pretty interesting television. I will be watching in 2 weeks. It's still pretty funny.
