Cyborg armadillo mercenary is actually kind of cool.

Yes I think the Armadillo is probably the best of the bunch!

And the sensibly dressed female isn't bad either, might be cool for any kind of future/cyborg style games.

roweena looks almost exactly like the heroine of the novel 'boneshaker', at least as i imagine her.
and hans looks like casper van dien. it's debatable as to which of the two has a broader acting range, though.
funny stuff, thanks for sharing!

I've played a few sessions of Numenera with a new GM.

Pretty fethed up. Also, 2 of the players were donkey-caves so we bowed out.

Wow. The anatomy is not strong with these ones. Glowy hand dude is particularly awful.

Is that Toad Demon the same one that was in the Bones campaign? Looks similar. I kinda like it.

YAY! Reaper are back!

I read the OP's post. Now I've kind of lost hope for humanity.

The more I look at this guy the more I ask... what's up wtih his face? I mean really? Is that a bandana mask or something? And is he missing part of his right hip?

And what does all of this have to do with air piracy?

Ah yes...



I do hope they make Zim and Gir.

I think it's acute acne.

MGS, I may have just watched the first season on Amazon Prime...

Have an exalt on me

Toad Demon is amazing! Exalted the Toad Demon!

ANd we're back with some new releases!

Yay!

First off we have a model I've waited ages for, and plan to get as a gift for Mrs. Kyoto



Now I just need to pick up a second baby to represent Kyoto Secundus' clone sister Kyoto Secundus Prime.

Next we have a model that can not only serve as a Dwarf Cleric, but also as a human cleric whose walking on his knees like the old Tim Conway Dorf on Golf sketches. Remember those? They were kind of vaguely amusing.



And then we have um...



A female half ork jester?

I remember Jesters from an old Dragon Magazine, they were an optional class and had the unique power of being able to control a Wand of Wonder. So I guess if anyone has that old Dragon, and wants to play a female half orc, they're in business.

I seriously do not understand how Reaper decides what to sculpt sometimes...

And then there's the Cleric of Rovagug



Rovagug I assume is the Chaos God of Absurdly Oversized and Impractical Weapons, which makes him one of the most powerful chaos gods around.

This next figure is a man of mystery.



Like, why does he have his grocery receipts tied to his wrists? And how does he draw that sword of his? Does he like have an acolyte standing behind him who draws it and hands it back to him? Does he use it to cut off the grocery receipts?

So many mysteries.

Next up, 2 zombies



They can also be used as Juju Zombies from the Monster Manual 2, or even Pseudo Zombies if you wish.



Hans survived the apocalypse in his bunker filled with nothing but ragged shirts, nautilus machines and hair care products.



Jane is officially a Victorian adventuress (is Tarzan in the public domain?) but can also serve as a post apocalyptic girlfriend for Hans who survived in her cosplay bunker.



The pack donkey is a very useful model for anything from medieval times to the post apocalypse (perhaps to transport Hans' tubes of mousse). In a pinch he can also serve as a pack mule or even a pack pony. With a bit of conversion he can become a pack unicorn. Really the only limit is your imagination.

It would be easy to mock the next figure



And darnit, I have some professional pride. I'll let someone else mention his strangely alluring midriff and tight low riding pants.



Am I blue?
You'd be too.
Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you?
Was I gay?
Till today?
Now she's gone and we're through
Am I blue?

And finally we have another new model, on I don't think we saw in previews. It's a biggy and looks just like he flew out of the old Monster Manual.



Yes, a displacer beast!

A brass displacer beast if I remember correctly.

So there you go, these models and about a bazzillion more are available at www.reapermini.com

JOin me next time as we look ahead to their preview section!

Love the teeth on that... Brass Displacer Beast? Very shark-like, and gives it quite a feral look.

Some cool looking minis there Kid_Kyoto and your write-up is always appreciated!

That dwarf...

Looks like I missed some July releases, all available now I assume

First we have Skraw, who is unfortunately the last Armadillion which I'm sure will disappoint the many people planning a fully armadillion army. Perhaps we can lobby Reaper for a pre-Armadillion Apocalypse line which would fill in gaps in the range?



Then we have the Brotherhood of the Seal.



Am I the only one who thinks this looks nothing like the concept art?


I'm still a big fan of this fellow



And still wondering why his sword doesn't have a hilt, I mean surely he's got to be cutting his hand no?

One thing I admire about Reaper, besides their commitment to METAL is their determination to fill every possible niche with a mini (barring of course Armadillions) from were-sharks to circus ringmasters they've got it covered.



A zombie in a muumuu. TIck off another box.

And finally we have another staple, the male human assassin



THough why he only assassinates male humans is not explained, perhaps he's racist.

So anyway the old clock on the wall says it's time for bed so come back next time for a peek into Reaper's reviews.

Love your work K_K!

Agreed. I'm always up for this thread and it's updates.

Am I the only one who thinks of the Heisman Trophy every time I see that Angel?

That guy looks an awful lot like Napoleon Dynamite in an alternate timeline, or perhaps Macklemore after a trip to a thrift shop?.

My first thought was the twins from Legend Of Korra

That assassin was actually part of the first Bones assortment.

As far as I know, he's still unavailable in regular Bones packaging- my FLGS is still unable to order him, and the few times I've seen him online, he's been in a baggy from a KS set.

Now I'll just get the metal version instead!

It looks like they fixed his face and sword for the metal version.

My first thought was the twins from Legend Of Korra

Bran Stark, with magic legs.

And tonight I finish up this round of updates with some previews of upcoming models.

Yes, I know, Reaper actually tells people what they're working on, yet somehow they stay in business. Crazy huh?

First off we have um...



An undead starving were-deer?
Maybe?



I really don't know much about Pathfinder (from what I hear it's D&D 5th edition only fun) so I don't know what makes her an 'iconic' duelist.

I keep reading it as 'ironic' which would make her a hipster duelist. Maybe if I added glasses, iphone and starbucks cup?



Then we have a constable, who apparently is neither iconic nor ironic. A useful little figure for when your party is being harrassed by the man. And another model that instantly creates an air of mystery. Like, where are the rest of his legs?



I could make a joke here but honestly, it's a giant cave sloth. I mean I DMed for how many years and do you think I ever, EVER? reached for a giant cave sloth model. EVER? I mean sloths are slow, like "holy @#$% that's not slow motion that's how they move" slow. A one-legged dwarf could out run one. Who thought they needed a model?

Well apparently someone did.

I just wish I had access to Reaper's internal emails and their customer database so I could ask why? why?! WHY?

But somehow I'm happy to know they made him.

Now when does the were-giant cave sloth come out?



Years ago I had an idea for a WWII group called Sergeant Silverback and his Guerilla Gorillas. But I couldn't find enough models.

TIme to revisit that idea.



Or I can just pair him with Brother Vern the Righteous Missionary.

Of course first I ahve to get over my bias that real missionarys should carry chainsaws and not gattling guns.

I have developed odd ideas about religion after years of playing GW games.



GAH! GAH! GAH!



I have to stop looking at this site just before I go to sleep.



And finally we have a model who demonstrates one of the weaknesses in Reaper's line. I mean it's a fine sculpt except for the face. She needs some fangs or arched eyebrows or something or there is just no way to tell this Hunter is a Vampire. I mean if you're going to make a Vampire Hunter you have to make it clear she's a vampire no?

That Duelist is pretty nice.

That Constable must be a half-Dwarf. Guess which half!

Gonna have to pick up the private eye and the Constantine models sometime. Probably the assassin too.

Duelist, vampire hunter, and clint apewood are excellent models. Were sloth is pretty awesome execution on a ridiculous concept.
