Since 2003, the HeroClix line from WizKids has been coming out about annually. HeroClix is a sort of role-playing game but instead of keeping track of stats on paper, the stats are on a click wheel at the base of each figure.

The characters have powers and team affiliations that vary with their experience levels: Rookie, Experience, and Veteran (R, E, and V), and you can do more stuff (or do it better) the higher up you are. Some of them even have "Unique" or "Special Edition" figures, even more powerful. Each experience level comes with its own color (yellow = Rookie, blue = Experienced, red = Veteran, silver = Unique, bronze = Special Edition, gold = Super Rare) painted in a ring around each base. Each figure has a dial that lists the attributes so you don't have to remember anything, and you rotate the dial to show hits, etc., Figures from the same team get benefits.

The various series of HeroClix have been released in waves, about once per year. Legion-related figures have been seen in nearly all lines to date. Over the years, we've seen Legionnaires and their villains in their pre-Crisis, post-Zero Hour, and post-Infinite Crisis incarnations.
