I think it's time for an official Wizkids-sanctioned Heroclix design contest.

Maybe it could go like this:
Entries include a description of the character's history and origin, modus operandi, powers, allies, enemies etc, and most importantly, which comic universe they are designed to fit in. Because WK would probably get thousands of entries, they'd have to be limited to about 300-500 words. Perhaps each entrant could only enter 2 or 3 characters.

Entry would also include detailed sketches or written description of how the sculpt should look. The figure's dial would be part of the entry as well, perhaps including design notes like the ones we've seen for Xplosion figs.

Of course, the winner(s) would be made into real HC figs! How cool would that be?! Even if they were only LE and not allowed in tourneys or whatnot.

What better way to get the target fanbase involved?

Thougts?

God I have a 10-15 year history with a couple of my characters. That would be great. It would probable have to be with Indy though. Its the only group that could possible do it.

Which history would you like the comic book or the film title. Yes I really have both. In a timeline format only on my puter.

Should we organize a petition to show WK there is interest in such a thing? Who's with me?

They did one of these contests in the other clix games? Cool. (I've never played or collected the others, just HC). I'm sure licensing would be a nightmare, but they could get around it by doing them as Indy Clix, I suppose. The BEST thing would be a real comic being born from the contest entries... (drool)

First prize should go to someone that can make a truely different Elektra to fulfill Wizkids obligations of putting two in per set.
