Okay I know that Clix are pre-painted but they are still minis, and I\'ve seen quite a few re-paints of Wizkids stuff on here already.

Announced today:
From Wizkids:
\"WizKids has announced it has reached an agreement with Bungie Studios and Microsoft to develop a new collectible miniatures game (CMG) called Halo ActionClix.

The Halo ActionClix CMG brings the incredible content of the Halo universe to the tabletop via the award-winning Clix miniatures game engine. Players familiar with HeroClix and HorrorClix will be able to jump right into the action and enjoy brand-new game mechanics, including weapon swaps, figure re-spawning and vehicle-based combat.

\"Expanding the Halo universe into the Clix CMG world is a perfect fit for the franchise,\" said Brian Jarrard, director of Franchise and Community Affairs at Bungie Studios. \"WizKids\' commitment to quality and authentic detail ensures that these new Halo

ActionClix figures will appeal to collectors and CMG players alike.\"

The first Halo ActionClix set will feature more than 80 unique miniature figures from the Halo universe, including preview content from Halo 3. A number of vehicle packs are also being produced, including a big surprise planned for San Diego Comic-Con this July. Figures will be sold in randomized Booster Packs. The vehicles and a Starter Game will be sold in a diorama display format.

\"We are proud to be associated with a great brand like Halo,\" said Lax Chandra, WizKids president. \"We are always looking for ways to push the envelope with our games and content. The phenomenal Halo video game play and universe provided us with an excellent spring board for innovation in Tabletop miniatures gaming. We are very excited about this release.\"

The Halo ActionClix CMG is expected to be released at retail in September 2007, with special Pre-release figures available at San Diego Comic-Con July 26 - 29, and at Gen Con Indy August 16 - 19. Retail sales inquiries should be directed to Dennis O\'Brien, WizKids director of Sales, at (425) 460-4311
or via e-mail at dennis@wizkidsgames.com. \"

Just a reminder that acetone (nail polish remover) will strip the paint off these very nicely, but will destroy the polystyrene bases.

Got a booster yesterday and got a Brute, a ODST, 2 red Spartans and Master Chief with plasma rifles. On the whole they seem fairly good minis for prepaints. The plastic is much stronger than the usual near rubber stuff of other lines, but there is a noticable bend in the barrel of Sniper Rifles. I\'ll find out how easy they are to strip and repaint soon and let y\'all know.

There is another thread on this, that I actually replied to yesterday that noted that all clix minis strip very well with Acetone, the problem is the bases will melt, so you pretty much have to remove the mini from the base before stripping.

Now I haven\'t tried it myself, just going with what was said by others on the other thread.
