WizKids is preparing a 2009 release for a new PocketModel TCG based on the Nerd Corps Entertainment animated series Storm Hawks, which is currently appearing five days a week in a prime late afternoon slot on Cartoon Network.  WizKids launched its initial PocketModel release, the Star Wars PocketModel TCG in June of 2007 (see 'Star Wars PocketModel TCG'), and followed it up with The Pirates of the Caribbean PocketModel TCG in October.  The PocketModel games combine features of Trading Card Games (TCGs) with elements of the Constructible Strategy Game (CSG), and in the Storm Hawks PocketModel TCG players will be able to construct models of vehicles and characters from the show and utilize them in a TCG-like battle game.

 

The Storm Hawks property is gaining lots of licensing attention and momentum.  Spin Master has launched a full range of  Storm Hawks toys and an array of Storm Hawks merchandise is set to arrive in the late summer and fall of 2008 including apparel (from C-Life), backpacks (Accessory Innovations), t-shirts (Hybrid Promotion), hats (Elegant Headwear), and 3-D puzzles (Hobbico Corporation).
