Exclusive Look DC Heroclix Brave & The Bold New Figures and Details


image

Wizkids has released some more information, including a release date for the new DC expansion set The Brave and the Bold. Read the details below and be sure to scroll for an exclusive look at the new Brainiac and Flash/Green Lantern figures.

WizKids has announced the April 14 release of DC HeroClix: The Brave and The Bold expansion.  This set includes 55 pre-painted miniatures, including numerous famous Duo team-ups–both heroes and villains from the pages of DC Comic.  The Brave and The Bold is sold in 5-figure boosters which retail at $11.99.
In addition to DC fan-favorites, like Brainiac and duo figures like ‘The Atom and Hawkman’, ‘Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy’ and ‘The Flash and Green Lantern’, The Brave and The Bold includes all-new Alter Ego figures. Alter Egos allow players to start the game with a hero in his or her secret identity–like Clark Kent, then at a critical moment change the figure into the hero in costume–Superman.
