Updated 7/5/11: HeroClix/Wizkids upcoming/unconfirmed/recently released products
So, I was thinking about it, and it seems that lots of members will post things asking about things previewed weeks before. So I thought a list of heroclix products still unreleased might be helpful- that way anyone who was unsure can come check here to see if it's news. If I'm wrong, feel free to lock/move.
Upcoming, confirmed or rumored HeroClix Releases:
Street Fighter FAST FORCES Pack:
Release Date: August 2011
MSRP: $15.99
Info: Contains six figures based off of characters from the hit Street Fighter series of video games. Blanka, Dhalsim, Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Guile in their default palettes/costumes from Street Fighter II. All six sculpts will be reused (and repainted) in the Street Fighter Gravity Feed release. Will most likely contain maps and dice, like all fast forces packs. Set will be compatible with standard HeroClix (only in Golden Age events) but will come with it's own optional fighting game inspired ruleset which is also compatible with all existing heroclix figures.
Street Fighter Gravity Feed:
Release Date: August 2011- simultaneously released alongside the Fast Forces pack.
MSRP: $2.99 for each one figure booster
Info: A 27 figure set containing figures only seen in Street Fighter II and it's subsequent re-releases (For example, Akuma was not seen in most versions of Street Fighter II, but will still be included in the set.) Contains 23 different sculpts but 27 dials (some figures are figures of palette swaps from the game or look notoriously similar to other characters- IE Ryu and Evil Ryu), 6 sculpts will also be used in the Street Fighter Fast Forces pack. Set will be compatible with standard HeroClix (only in Golden Age events) but will come with it's own optional fighting game inspired ruleset which is also compatible with all existing heroclix figures. All figures in the gravity feed will be the same rarity- IE no figure will be rarer than other figures in the set.
Watchmen FAST FORCES Crimebusters Pack:
Release Date: September 7th
MSRP: $15.99
Info: Contains six new Watchmen figures from their Crimebusters era. Sculpts are reused from the Watchmen collectors set but with entirely new dials. Contains Rorshach, Silk Spectre, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Ozymandius, and Nite Owl. Comes with an unknown number of maps and a pair of six sided dice.
DC HeroClix: Untitled (?) Superman Set
Release Date: September 2011
MSRP: Presumably $11.99 per 5/6 (see below) figure booster)
Info: Will be released in standard 60 figure expansion format. Brick figures will be inserted into a random pack in every brick- this brick figure will be an additional "sixth figure", with the brick figure being a Superman Robot. Judging by the pictures of boosters on the preview poster, this will be the first set including characters known solely for their appearances in animated series. (Superman from the Justice League in "Batman Beyond"- black and white uniform.) Pictures of the booster also advertise the set's "Flashpoint" sub-theme and a Legion of Super-heroes sub-theme mentioned on the poster... with figures confirmed including Lex Luthor (Prison Jumpsuit?), Wildfire, Matter-Eater Lad, the Flash, Superman, Robot Superman, Sunboy, and "Superman Beyond". Darkseid, Black Adam, Superboy, and Eradicator have also all been seen. The Superman set will most likely be the first yet to use "Oreo" bases.
Three MARVEL HeroClix sets (not "announced" so to speak but has been shown off at retailer summits- much of this is not confirmed but has been shared with us by people who attended these summits. As a result, this information can and probably will change a little bit.):
Release date: December 2011 (Hulk), ? 2012 (Galactic Guardians), ? 2012 (Mighty Avengers)
MSRP: Varies- presumably 11.99 per 5 figure booster, 2.99 per single-figure booster, and 15.99 for any fast forces packs.
Info: Each set was supposed to contain 35-40 characters but since Wizkids had so many characters they wanted to fit in each theme, they will all be 50 figure sets which will release closely together. (Since so many sets have been selling out they want to release sets closer to each other to prevent customers who cant get product from a single set from getting bored, although it seems to me that the better idea is to take a risk and just print more imo) The Hulk set will be the first marvel set with a new type of figure base nicknamed the Oreo base, which will make dials easier to "Click" without breaking figures and while still making the "iconic click noises". The Hulk set will also have a gravity feed and fast forces set releasing at the same time. Supposedly all three sets will have a linked event with special OP kits.
Halo 10th Anniversary HeroClix (NOT an ActionClix expansion: See the info about the reach pack info further down for more info about ActionClix)
Release Date: September 28th
MSRP: $11.99 per five figure booster
Info: Will contain 45 Halo themed figures in traditional 5 figure boosters. It looks like, so far, the majority of sculpts will be reused from Halo ActionClix releases- including unused sculpts from the base set. (IE Suicide Grunts) "{It} will be comprised of the greatest heroes and villains from the Halo saga including the Flood, the Covenant, the UNSC Spartans and of course the Master Chief." (Thanks Comical!) There are no plans for vehicles and there will be an optional unique ruleset included, despite the figures being compatible with all other HeroClix (golden age events only). A new "grenade" mechanic will also be introduced. Scratch that: This mechanic was introduced in Gears of War but will be continued in the Halo set.
(Indy?) HeroClix: Iron Maiden Collectible Miniatures Game Wave 1
Release Date: First half of 2011 (Now unknown, possibly cancelled) (Here)
Info: Here
MSRP: None announced, assumed from previous thread that they will be $3-4 boosters with one blind figure. 8-10 figures in set.
(Indy?) HeroClix : Iron Maiden Collectible Miniatures Game Wave 2
Release Date: Shortly after Wave 1
Info: Here
MSRP: None announced, assumed from previous thread that they will be $3-4 boosters with one blind figure. Both sets will add up to 20 figures.
(Indy?) HeroClix: Lord of the Rings(The following contains very little confirmed information, due to very little information being given. For solely confirmed information, check this out.)
Release Date; Back half of 2011- rumored to be Sept/Oct/Nov
Info: Very little is known about the set except that it is heavily rumored that it will be released in numerous different ways. From what we can gather, it is likely that it will be released in a format similar to the Watchmen Set but also in a boxset with new "Campaign" style rules and Nazgul figures. A Fast Forces and Gravity Feed format set were hinted at by Wizkids staff.

I'll try to keep this constantly updated- maybe it will even be useful. Let me know if I missed anything, please.
You know what? I think this IS a good idea. It would be nice to have all this info in one place that can be checked on a semi-regular basis and for people who aren't on here all the time.
...now, if we can just get Professor Pyg confirmed.

Yeah, especially because a lot of people don't go to the front page and don't check the new/original content forums.
There's also suppose to be 2 other board games (unless you mistook that all 3 of them are being designed by Reiner Knizia.) One is being designed by Vlaada Chvátil (Through the Ages, Galaxy Trucker, & Dungeon Lords are his best known games) & another by Fantasy Flight Games, which is known for their huge boxes and very detailed components (and imo, very good games.)

I should say that it is being done by guys who mostly design games for FF games. I forget their names off the top of my head, but I'm sure it could be easily found.
Note, I'm a big board game fan. Have a 100+ of them and spent the last 5 years collecting and playing almost any game I could. So let me say that these games should be very good. I would almost say that Reiner Knizia's game, who is a legend, may be the worst of the 3 and it could be a very good game.
Great idea. That should be somewhere, like in a column on the side of the main page or something. Just to keep people updated when they dont check the forums everyday,
Rep to you

Release Date: Originally 7/25/10, now 8/25/10[size=2]
I agree this thread is a great idea man. One question though: why would watchmen not be DC?
