HeroClix, like many other manufacturers, have been denied the license to create Fantastic Four and X-Men toys by Marvel over the last year, as a result of Marvel's decision not to do anything that might promote those brands in any way, after their falling out with Fox Studios over the rights.

Goldballs – The New X-Men Teen Hearthrob Pin-Up
From the new issue of Uncanny X-Men #35 – otherwise known as the one that was meant to come out in May, but they delayed so there wouldn't be as big a gap between it and the interminably and inexplicably late Uncanny X-Men #600 in October… And an excuse to be rather silly With recent new[...]

Ken Lashley Will Be The New X-Men Artist After Secret Wars
Bleeding Cool has already told you that Jeff Lemire will be the new head writer on the X-Men titles after Secret Wars That was a pretty well sourced leak… This is less so well sourced, though there is a strong narrative to it I'd just have to trust someone who I haven't talked to before[...]
Look! Marvel *Does* Create X-Men Toys, For San Diego Comic Con
While licences for X-Men merchandise are severely restricted (and Fantastic Four are non-existent), as a result of the whole Fox kerfuffle some do make it through, often from people with very close ties to Marvel and able to squeeze out an exception or two.

But it's not like we've only run stories about Marvel's decision to reduce their licensing of X-Men and remove all their licensing of Fantastic Four over issues with Fox Studios handling of those properties – even though Marvel would get 100% of those monies in question. We've also run plenty of[...]

Jeff Lemire, The New X-Men Writer?
We reported back in April that Jeff Lemire had signed exclusively with Marvel, in a contract that still allowed him to work on his creator owned and Valiant titles.

While there were a variety of methods to achieve this goal, the most visible example of this policy was the airbrushing of the Red Army leader from photos taken during and immediately after the Russian Revolution.
