I remember seeing the green of this, and thinking it was really impressive... I guess the bust didn't strike me as quite that large then, though!
I agree with that criticism of it... otherwise, a great model with good pose and proportions in the other parts.

This is one of the stranger things I'm going to type today, but one of the biggest reasons that those breasts look like implants is that they're unusually 'inflated' at the bottom. If the nipples were lower on the 'balloon' and the entire unit were less 'inflated' the individual would look less augmented.

I am sorry but they are just daft. I never thought I would ever say this but those breasts are way to big. It actually ruins what could have been a good mini. Have you actually met a woman before or did you sculpt that in the darkest corner of your mother's basement after a particular serious session of making sure your sculpting hand was, you know, steady.

Whatever. That mini offends me - it reinforces ever stereotype of male gamers going. I showed my wife those three pictures and I quote: " WTH, they look like a cartoon done by a 12 year old who has never seen a naked woman." Maybe I should have posted her criticism rather than mine.
It is produced purely to titalate rather than actually be a piece that could be realistically included in a diorama. It would be nice if once, just once, we could have a accurate and feasible sculpt of a woman. One that is realistic proportioned and not gravity distorting or looks like she has visited a plastic surgeon. She can be in any pose or setting, whatever, but lets at least stop hitting the lowest common denominator that leaves us looking like a bunch of 12 year old boys.

By that same logic , all the catachans with their large bulky muscles should offend you as well because it portrays what manly men should look like.

Right, as opposed to Space Marines, who are not at all cartoonish, but very realistic. Assuming you were able to genetically engineer a superman to be 8 feet tall, impossibly muscular, and integrated with a mechanical suit of battle armor.
But we can't do that.
Know what we can do? Breast implants.
But hey, at least you scored "I'm sooooo above that" points with your wife.
And I saw some awesome, rocket ship sorts of tiny green stuff bewbs.
So WE ALL WIN!
all the catachans with their large bulky muscles
And let's be honest, those bewbs look a whole lot more like bewbs than the Catachan models muscles look like muscles. Or that the Catachans really even look like people. They're just sorta like masses of interlocking wash collection channels.

Thankyou ALL so much for the feedback. I have taken ALL of you coments on board and respect your opinions.
I realise this mini may not appeal to everyone, however you must remember that this is the realm of fantasy/sci fi, not reality, so fantasy curves are as justifiable as goblins on spiders, or cybernetic demon things with 8 legs 2.5 heads and 3 different sets of genitalia. The only limit is imagination!! ( i can't wait for you to see the next one! LOL  )
By the way, even my wife loves this mini.
I will private message everyone who said they want one.
please keep the feedback coming.
Peace and love , Uri

Hardly comparable. The problem mentioned with this figure isn't the unrealistic part so much as the usual objectification of women in fantasy. Even for a fantasy figure she's a big girl, they aren't "fantasy curves". It's beyond fanstay and nearer parody, it just looks daft and reinforces the idea that gamers are some bunch of sniggering socially inept teens. Most of the posts on this thread are making breast related jokes. I like naked women as much as the next guy but this is adolescent nonsense which is a shame because as a technical achievement it is a good sculpt.

Hrm...while, personally, I am not "offended" by either "captive girl" or the Catachan models, I do believe that both are equally dumb looking. I couldn't envision buying either of them for the same reason.

Post by: Empchild
personally I have known women like this and though I may not agree with the whole proportions I think the sculpting is top notch. the only problem is the pricing I converted that into dollars on xe.com and that is pricey for that model not going to lie, but I think it would fit in perfectly and what has to be rememberd is it is just a model not real.
@Terminus: that comment you made against his wife was rather low and tacky. He is entitled to his opinons and to some level I agree with him, but their is a line in the sand my friend.

Its okay, tbh I'd be more interested if I had Dark Eldar, and aye I could use for my Druchii, although thinking on it, she does seem a bit ott on a fantasy sized base.
However even if I was interested I'm pretty sure the price would put me off.
Its GW prices for a home cast, I can pick up very nice Shadowforge figs for the equivilent of £2 a fig.

Right. That's what gets me about the replies in this thread - the people that try to prove that their on some sort of moral high ground for having the disdain that they do. Well, if liking boobs is wrong, I don't wanna be right! And to the poster crying about being offended by them - this isn't Flames of War or something that is trying to depict real characters. This is a fantasy world (even though it is 40K) and fantasy worlds aren't necessarily bound by our laws. I mean, have you seen the cover of all fantasy novels? I don't know if I've ever seen one where the women aren't big-breasted. I mean, look at Firiona Vie (sp?) from EverQuest! Sure, they look more natural, but they're still huge!
Get off your high horse. If they offend you and you don't want to buy them, guess what? Don't.

Is the postage payment for each mini or for each shipping? I'm thinking about taking 2 of them. One would be an objetive marker, and the other one would travel in the Raider.
13 or 16 pounds? (UE postage, to Spain)

My problem with them isn't the 'heroic' proportions so much as the fact that they look like implants. Breasts that large don't sit like that if they're natural.
So if it's meant to be a model of a modern-day stripper, it's great. If it's meant to be a fantasy model, it's anachronistic.

It's a good sculpt. A bit over the top, sure, but a fine sculpt.
As a sculptor and artist, it always makes me laugh when people (not necessarily anyone in this thread, just saying) get all up in arms about small sculpture or animation related proportions, like Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin, for example.
The fact is that if something was drawn for animation or sculpted realistically at this scale, then it would be very hard to get a quick read on the character or sculpture. Visual shorthand like larger breasts and smaller waists are almost (almost) necessary in order to ensure that a figure in those media looks feminine in the first place.
Pretty much why GW sculpts in their Heroic Scale, or whatever they want to call it. At small sizes like that, proportions change to the eye, so certain things have to be emphasized or exaggerated to get the feeling you really want.

I wasn't sure to look at it, but are you sure that's the unreleased version? It's worth a small fortune.
Oh and for Ultraprime and others, it's not an 80s figure but an unreleased version of the slaves that came with Asdrubael Vect's DE flier. The studio occasionally do small numbers, sometimes just one or two copies, of figures that they circulate among themselves and others but which never go on sale. Among the more sought after are the DE bra-less girls and the topless fantasy witchelves. Obviously a few slip out onto eBay and the like.

Indeed it is, and still going strong, although some of the panels occasionally have so much going on that it's hard to follow. I consider the fact that they only animated the first Arc one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.
GW in the 80s was a different animal. Track down the Realms of Chaos books if you want a treat.
Ah, the good old days, when everything was grim and dark without being grimdark, and Slaanesh was actually more creepy without his followers being just a bunch of horny marines with bewbs on their armor. There are .pdf's of Realms of Chaos and Slaves to Darkness floating around in the interwebs if you're only willing to look.
edit: Damn you John for posting a DE mini, that just served to remind me that we still have no idea when they will get redone.

If the guy had sculpted those things on a set of sisters of battle I'd say it was in poor taste, but I think it would look great on a base with a Chaos HQ, Dark Eldar HQ, etc. holding its chain.

Guys guys, come on, now you're just being inappropriate. We shouldn't focus on her bodacious lung hammers, but rather what's going on on the inside, man.
Did you know she has dreams of going to law school and becoming a great lawyer specializing in gender issues, so she can represent the downtrodden like Erin Brockovich? Yeah, I didn't think so. You're all just that shallow. To reduce her to a pair of jiggly sweater puppets is just plain rude.

I think most of the people who are critical of the models proportions, arn't looking at the BIG picture. Don't you see the tactical advantage this model presents? I know allot of my opponents would be sufficiently distracted by the model.
If I use it as an objective marker I can almost guarantee what objective my sweaty palmed mouth breathing friend is going to consider most critical.
You just need to remember to use this model as a psychological weapon. I think this model could take a good player and turn him the breast.

correct, after sculpting the original green last year I put it on ebay, then changed my mind about selling it after people being interested in resin reproductions. I raised the price first to £100 then £200 to put people off buying it, before realising that i could actually take it off ebay, DOH. I had other plans, as you can now see.
I hope this helps.

Well, if that IS the case then
Chains removed
head remodelled
head repositioned
hair resculpted
boobs enormo-sized
loincloth removed
hair that goes in between arm and body removed.
Surely it'd be easier just to sculpt from scratch, right?

No, you misunderstand.
Your mini was just *compared* to the DE slave girls (both the LE ones without bikinis and the normal ones). The "slightly modified" comment was concerning how to make a DE babe look like a LE DE babe.
I do think you should make 3-4 slave girls in different positions (and with different sized ones ...) - and sell them as a pack. This way you will both earn more for each sale - and justify the rather steep p&p. Thus selling a lot more.
There is always a demand for scantly clad and shackled slave girls.
The Ral Partha slave auction (two variations, with and without clothes) is a good example. Look it up.

imho , I dont think the captive girl is comparable to gw slave girls.
The GW girls look like slaves willing to please their master. Almost like cheap oversexualized holiday souvineers.
While Uri's sculpture captures the fear and despair of a girl who has been taken captive and knows she is about to be......harmed in some horrible way.
After taking into account all the comments about so called 'realism', and taking the GW slave sinto account, I know which model i would buy.
Thanks Uri Lee, you are a god!

Right, as opposed to Space Marines, who are not at all cartoonish, but very realistic. Assuming you were able to genetically engineer a superman to be 8 feet tall, impossibly muscular, and integrated with a mechanical suit of battle armor.
Hardly comparable. The problem mentioned with this figure isn't the unrealistic part so much as the usual objectification of women in fantasy. Even for a fantasy figure she's a big girl, they aren't "fantasy curves". It's beyond fanstay and nearer parody, it just looks daft and reinforces the idea that gamers are some bunch of sniggering socially inept teens. Most of the posts on this thread are making breast related jokes. I like naked women as much as the next guy but this is adolescent nonsense which is a shame because as a technical achievement it is a good sculpt.
Says the guy with the barely clad woman eating a corn dog or similarly phallic shaped food.
Ha! Face!
The amount of offended hand-wringing in this thread is hysterical to me. Another example of how accepted violence is, but add sexual content and people suddenly start acting like Puritans. 'I'll play a game where Genocide is as common as a "how-do-you-do?" but I draw the line at BEWBS!'
It's a nice sculpt and I know that if I was going to be taking slaves the women with huge, delicious breasts would be right at the top of the list. I don't play any armies that require the model though... Maybe I could pimp my Monolith?

There is no confusion. If you read the thread:
- I noted that I'd be interested in expanding my "slave girl" collection, and that your model is similar to my converted slave girl.
- someone else asked which model I was using.
- I posted a pic of the GW original for comparision.
- someone else posted a joke that you massively converted the slave girl

I think that is a bit harsh on the ole GW slave girls, they are decent models and I suspect GW have sold many, proving such.
However, I thankyou for seeing past the exagerated proportions to see the emotion that I wanted the 'captive girl' to show.

This is a very American attitude, so the mention of Puritans is quite appropriate. In Greece, they have billboards of topless women advertising tanning salons or plastic surgeons. There are shampoo commercials with huge tits jiggling all over the place. After 10pm, one network channel (not premium pay for channel!) starts playing instructional Skinemax-style softcore.
Having seen the model in profile, her chest is kind of weirdly shaped and pointy (whoever said before that the underboob portion is oversized and throws off the proportions was right). Maybe she spent her non-slave life wearing Madonna-style bras one or two sizes too small.  I love the expression and downcast feel of the whole model, though. I'd buy it if it was US based.
P.S. One Piece sucks. It's that long because 80% of the series is filler.

You may be projecting. Just a tad.
I'd happily buy the model if it looked like a believable woman. I spent extra to track down OOP metal Daemonettes on eBay. This model is just a bit silly, is all. Which makes the thought and attention that went into the face and its expression a bit creepy, to be honest.
But the way that so many people on this thread are jumping to attack people for not liking a toy soldier- sorry, for not liking a toy of a toy soldier is hysterical to me. Isn't it great we have a website where we can all be hysterical together?

I'm not attacking anyone for not liking the model. I don't think my post indicated anything of the sort. I was just amused by the posts that are making the model into an attack on the dignity of women in general. Particularly by those who have somewhat suggestive avatars themselves.

Thank you for your continued patience Uri.
Let's lay off the overly harsh criticisms and sniping folks, this isn't a large company, it's someone's art.
Solon, 'no comment'? Then the answer was not to post...
Lay off this, he's heard the criticisms, this is a guy manufacturing his first model, if he likes the aesthetic, good for him, if others like it and wish to purchase it, even better for him.
If you want to have a discussion about female anatomy portrayal in fantasy, then start one in the discussion board.
All power to the grief reductors, lets let this simmer back down and stop assassinating aesthetic choices.
