SavageRobby wrote: I don't know how I missed these before. Just read through this post and my iPad seemed to magically order a (large) handful of resistance fighters. Really nicely done work.
Received my order last night. Pretty quick for zipping across the pond.
Initial impressions is: wow! First, the packaging was impressive. Each SKU was bubble-wrapped, as were the additional sprues that came with. Really nice attention to detail there.
Then the miniatures themselves are great. The sculpts are excellent (as pictured), the casts are super-clean - no blemishes, very little flash. The head/gun sprues are arranged intelligently so that detaching doesn't leave an ugly scar (or an out-of-place smooth spot) in the wrong place.
I assembled a few of them last night, and was really pleased.

Shows how well their miniatures turn out. Statuesque, any chance of some scout/recon types? I also like the coats on the two leader types, but having others with them would also be great. Could make a great crew of miniatures. And, once again, please please please see if you can't work in some sculpts where the women are aiming. I am working on converting yours, but being that they're all in metal it's not easy.

How do those heads size up with Crooked Dice's Shiva forces?
Wouldn't mind putting together around thirty or so different ones for a Fem-force five, Pussy Galor's flying circus, or some sort of superspy group or something. Some with berets, some with the hair, some bald, maybe a bunch of the drone fembots, to name a few.
Great looking figures!!

I tried out a fit on Crooked Dice's Daredevils a second ago and they look fine. The Statuesque heads are the same size as the Crooked Dice ones, as do the models seem to be of the same height and overall build.

Thanks for that! Going to have to get a few more sprues of heads.

Mei-Lin and the Fembots will of course be available individually long term, assuming I can keep them in stock...
Also on offer is Commissar Vespera Venko, done to £4.50 from £4.95 - great for keeping your Resistance Fighters in line!
And finally, the Weapons 3 sprue is available as a Multi-Buy deal - five sprues for only £7 - a great way to arm your Resistance Fighters en mass with the latest weapon technology.
Both these offer run until Sunday the 2nd of March, but remember the Fembot deal only runs until Monday or while stocks last.
How are your Faceless Oppressor's coming? Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a few of those depending on how they come out. Will definitely want Assault Rifles for them as they be proxied as Infinity Ariadna Tankhunters because the Infinity ones are not looking so hot. I really need a grenade launcher type which doesn't look completely ridiculous to proxy as an adhesive launcher, so will be eagerly awaiting your new designs and the things that come with them.
Glad to hear you'll be also having a heavy weapons sprue to go with them. Will be able to make a bunch of different guys that way. Not sure how bulky the guys will be, but I can always add armour padding to them to bulk them out if I need to. Alternatively if you really wanted you could make female versions of these dudes and this guy and save me the hassle, lol
I think I'll be going for Emilia and Poppy to convert a little, put a flak vest and some packs, converting them to female Zouaves for Infinity. I'd like an all female force if I can get it, but I am not sure how much of a reality that will be.
Cheers for all your good work mate!

In a shameless bit of self promotion, I've updated the Statuesque Social Media Extravaganza! I want to reach as many potential customers as possible to help Statuesque Miniatures grow. I've upped the prizes and added another draw for Newsletter subscribers. In all, there are four chances to win for each punter!
Facebook just cracked 800 Likes and the draw will happen at 1000 Likes so we're getting there. The other media are falling behind a bit but like Rosa of the Resistance says:
@Fenriswolf: The Faceless Oppressors are currently on the back burner while I get the Pulp Alley and Fantasy ranges going. They need a bit more work and my muse was telling me to sculpt chunky barbarians and Pulp adventurers. They're still part of the plan however, as the Resistance Fighters need some opposition.
Cool stuff mate! I've entered on all 4 parts (was already following you on facebook and twitter), so I hope to win the 75 pound prize so I can get a bunch more of your stuff!
Unfortunately in my game tonight my poor Statuesque Kazaks were all but obliterated by a hideous Combined Army Avatar. Didn't have a chance, poor lasses. Still loving the mini's though, and I try to talk them up as often as possible. I think if you offered some more alternatives to the Infinity range (units which aren't as well represented), you'd do really well. Just something to consider *cough*FemaleTankHunters*cough*

Thanks for posting the vid, Orlando. It would've taken me a while to work out how!

A certain Dr Strukov, mentioned in the video, will be making an appearance in due course.
That video was pretty neat... I have yet to dip into Statuesque, but it's been on my want list for ages. So many great characterful sculpts.
@Andrew: I have noticed that you do a discount for buying more than one of each. I'd be more interested in getting one of each It would be awesome with a general discount that comes into play if you buy for a certain amount instead of certain figures.
I am a bit bummed I missed out on the old Mei-Lin sculpt. She would have been perfect for a Ghost in the Shell dio I've had in my head for far too many years. I've been collecting different swat and street gangers and what not for the day I decide I've got what I need to make it. I am actually only missing a Motoko. :\

Statuesque Miniatures and Pulp Alley are pleased to announce the first releases from our new joint Pulp Alley Miniatures range.
First out of the blocks are Pulp Girl and Phantom Ace, two daring pulp heroes ready to fight villainy wherever it raises its head. As a special pre-order launch deal, Pulp Girl and Phantom Ace are available for only £7/ $11.75 for the pair.
Also available from both sides of the Atlantic is Lillie Poots. Bravely venturing in the the darkness armed only with her grandmother's lantern, Lillie has a starring role in Statuesque Miniatures' new Statuesque Asylum pulp horror range.
Escaping through the gates of Statuesque Asylum are the Frothing Loonies! These crazed individuals are the unfortunate victims of Dr Strukov's nefarious surgical experiments and they roam the wards and grounds of Statuesque Asylum, a danger to all they meet.
The Frothing Loonies are priced at £10.50 for three figures with six, poseable head options for greater variety, and are available from the Statuesque Miniatures webshop.
Please note all the new releases are pre-orders and will not be shipped before the 3rd of March 2014. All limited offers run until 3rd of March or while stocks last.
@Basement Dweller: Unfortunately, discounts for basket value aren't something we can offer at this time. The original Mei-Lin is now available from Antenociti's Workshop.

waaah on the first one and YAY! on the second. Although that means spending more cash as Antenociti has some awesome stuff too... It's almost set up like a conspiracy against my wallet.
Lillie Poots and the loons are all kinds of awesome...

Going to have to get in on some of those later on next month.

Thanks to those who have ordered so far. I ended up posting pre-orders early as I realised I would be spending all day in the Post Office on Monday if I didn't. The pensioners wouldn't stand for me holding them up for so long!
“Our four adventurers stand on the shore of the Windswept Isle, the quest ahead of them made plain by the midden pile of human bones outside the entrance to the Trowie Howe. Locals had spoken of a great evil having taken over the Howe but also of great treasure, reason enough to brave the dank darkness...”
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce a special Pre-Order Deal for the first releases from our new Statuesque Fantasy range of heroic adventurers. Featuring all four adventurers – Oorik the Barbarian, Misanter the Elf, Gomeril the Wizard and Lowri Lowrisson the Dwarf – this deal can be had for only £19, a price not to be repeated when the figures are on general release. There are discounts for multiple purchases too!
Unashamedly 'heroic scale', these figures are available with the super special Retro Rectangular resin bases supplied by Zealot Miniatures for that proper dungeoneering look.
Master castings of the figures arrived back with the mould maker on the 28th of March, with delivery of production castings to Statuesque Miniatures expected within 2-4 weeks. The final retail price for the figures, which will be available individually upon general release, has not been set. However, due to the weight and size of the figures, it is safe to say the retail price will be much higher than this Pre-Order Deal. The number of castings for the Pre-Order is limited and the offer will run only until production castings have been delivered or while stocks last.
I thought I'd share this lovely version of Lowri Lowrisson, painted by Andy Wedmore of Belly Miniatures. I've commissioned him to paint all four adventurers and I'm very happy with the first results!
Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the full release of our four Fantasy Adventurers, along with a Pre-Order deal for the next Pulp Alley expansion: Pulp Gadgets, Guns and Vehicles!
This thrilling expansion provides rules for BIG guns, strange gadgets, riding mounts, vehicles, custom modifications and much, much more. From dog-sleds to flying characters, and from aeroplanes to colossal walking robots, the Pulp Gadgets, Guns and Vehicles book makes it fast and easy to add even more excitement to your Pulp Alley scenarios.
The Pulp Gadgets, Guns and Vehicles book is available at a special reduced Pre-Order price of £10.50, saving over 15% on the regular price. This offer runs until May 18th with an expected shipping date of May 19th.

The Pulp Gadgets, Guns and Vehicles shipment (just books not any gadgets, guns or vehicles sadly) arrived at Statuesque Asylum this morning so all Pre-Orders will be posted on Monday as promised.
Don't forget tomorrow is the last day to grab the Pre-Order deals on both sides of the Atlantic, from Pulp Alley in the US and Statuesque Miniatures in the UK.
