Joe Hauck, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Product Development at WizKids, has announced that his company has sold out of the first production run of HorrorClix.

"The good news is that HorrorClix is experiencing a wonderful release, and we appreciate and recognize all of your help in creating this success," Hauck said in an e-mail to retailers, distributors, and WizKids volunteers. "The bad news is that despite our efforts to create what we thought were sufficient quantities of inventory to stock the product for three to six months after the release date, our inventory is currently out in the U.S. After the promotional window for the Cthulhu figure was closed, we continued to receive re-orders from all of our distribution partners as more and more fans became excited about our new line of Clix-based minis."

Now that the product has launched to consumers around the world, WizKids said it is receiving re-orders even earlier than it had expected.

"The good news is that anticipating this upswing in interest and activity, we have a reprint already in the works and on the way," Hauck said. "The reprint is expected to arrive in early October. So although in the short term we may have a lack of product to satisfy everyone's needs, we will be able to catch up fairly quickly."

Skirmisher Online Gaming Magazine acquired one of the Cthulhu figures last month at Gen Con and can vouch for why demand has been so high, as it is a striking, incredible piece that would be a great prop for almost any horror-oriented game and beautiful collector's item as well.

HorrorClix is still available to retailers through most adventure game distributors. For more information on HorrorClix, go to www.wizkidsgames.com.
