At first I was like, "Too early to be April."

Then I was like, "I thought this Hello Kitty stuff was over. How old is this thread?"

Then I was like, "..."

Then I read the comments here and I am like...

If it was the end of next month, I would have assumed this was an early April Fool's joke. Just trying to figure out how the hell you incorporate it into a combat oriented figure game..

Mind officially blown.

"They aren't torn in half, they just....erm...oh feth...um....go back to Hello Kitty land!"

"But daddy, you just said that Zombie tore Mr.Fantastic a new one, why doesn't he go to Hello Kitty land?"

This is going to be awesome.

Wasn't interested in HeroClix until I saw this.

Hello Kitty only exists to be licensed for products. It's like Mickey Mouse if they skipped the "create a beloved cartoon" phase.

It's a character as brand label.

Hello kitty has a trait- Hello Kitty has Blades/Claws/Fangs and Mind Control.
