A Hello Kitty Miniatures Game. WHAT!?
February 13, 2013 by dracs
You read that right folks, we could be seeing a Hello Kitty miniatures game on the horizon as Sanrio, Inc., the owners of Hello Kitty, and NECA, toy makers and owners of WizKids, have signed a marketing deal.
The new Hello Kitty line will cater to long-time collectors, with action figures and statues, high-end lamps, calendars, tea sets, vintage carrying cases, and more, as well as various tabletop games, plus a HeroClix miniature gaming collection from NECA’s games subsidiary WizKids.
What kind of gaming mechanics would a Hello Kitty HeroClix game use? I mean what can you do in game where the characters look like this?
Now I don't think a game has to have violence in order to be good, but I do hope this is the case in Hello Kitty HeroClix. Or maybe we could combine it with other HeroClix ranges. Hello Kitty meets Batman!
Why?

Well Sam, If you don’t know what to do with a well groomed pussy, I’m not gonna spoil your surprise. 😀 hehe
How long before someone else cashes in and brings out a Kitty lookalike model.
Dynamic Kitty model with one foot on a rock pose.
Not to my taste could do with more Skulls 🙂
I would play this over that very disappointing mage-knight 2.0 announcement
As taken aback as I am with the news of such a bizarre combination I kind of like the idea. If this is executed well it could be a great line to bridge young girls into gaming. There is very little on the market that caters to them. The objectives will certainly have to be different than combat and you would hope that the rules would be at least a little simpler to not go over the target audience’s head but there is some potential there. Also, the basic cartoony look of Hello Kitty might be the best platform for… Read more »
True. We need more girls.
Hell, we need more people, period.
And the latest Privateer Press “horses” aren’t even good for My Little Pony…
I have a 1 year old daughter, if this turns out to be something kindof cool, i may collect a few sets just to have a gateway game for her when she gets a little older.
Surely you don’t mean these http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/324427-Sparklepocolypse.html
I was just thinking the same, my two young nieces like Hello Kitty.
and if the out of hours learning centre wasn’t about to close I could get some of the youngsters involved.
Mind you might not need it. Got one of the year 5/6 girls playing MTG lol
*might not need Hello Kitty as a intro. We do need the centre
Will be sad if it does close 🙁
a Gateway drug, for my 5 year old girl maybe
They’ve already done the Smurfs… Hello Kitty doesn’t seem like such a stretch.
That’s a good point, how did smurfs play? I dont think it was combat oriented. We can probably expect something along the same lines for this.
Bit like any vanilla Space Marine chapter I guess. 😛
A smurfs one? Why didn’t I hear of this? To the internet!
bullshit -.- not as elaborate as the rest of you guys, but thats what it is ….utter bullshit …. nowadays everything has to be turned into everything …. everything has to be zombified everything turned into chibi , everything turned into some sort of game … in the end it is what it is : bullshit.
Hello Kitty always was chibi style though
Chibi zombies…hmmm… now there’s a thought…
Zombie Hello Kitty appearing in an alternative WW2 game near you soon
Sorry for all the posts we need an edit function for dumbasses who keep forgetting to insert things before posting
Yes I know what you feel.
Ideal way to bring my neice into wargaming – linked to my sister and already been told don’t you dare, you neice would love it.
She better have a lightning claws!
I was thinking a baseball bat with nails in! where she goes around the hood knocking all the dogs in check, then recruiting them to eat your feline nemesis next door. Objectives could be to eat next doors fish, pee in their litter tray, sleep in her bed and bonus points for getting on the settee with the owners approval… As Delboy would say…. purrrrrfec
“Wolverine uses Blade/Claws/Fangs on Hello Kitty!” It would be hilarious. I’ll likely pick up a couple of these to fit into my more amusing builds. =)
