We've had several release specific threads but I figure it's probably time to start up our own thread so we can more easily keep you up to date on our new and upcoming releases.
Here's our newest release a Relic Knight version of Kisa. Painted by the talented chaps at Golem Studios.
Kisa is available now at the Soda Pop Store
Thanks guys!

Not what I was expecting from the title.
The Catbot looks good, the rider less so.
The furry community will go wild when they see this!

IIRC Relic Knight is the specific name for the line of minis
The base looks too small imo

This might be an opticle illusion due to the waist being too big. I'm pretty sure that you could still fit some internal organs in there, trim it down a bit so it's all spine and it'd be good.

Looking good Deke!
Quick question though: on the store page, the Kisa model is described as being metal and resin, but it initially looks like it's all resin...
Or is the staff metal, hard to tell on my monitor.

I believe the Relic (Cat Mech) is all resin and Kisa and Scratch (girl and kitty cypher) are all metal. Honestly I haven't opened mine yet to check (and don't handle that end of production).  I'll check tonight to make sure that is correct though. She looks all resin in the bare sculpt pictures because the whole image was greyscaled since the multiple mediums the sculptor works in can be distracting and make it hard to see detail in a photo.

How big is catbot? Would it make a good thunderwolf counts as or is it the wrong size?

That's a 50mm base it is standing on so he's good size. I'll see if I can get mine assembled this weekend and take some size pics.

I like the catbot thing but the main beast is pretty meh.
I don't know what its is but the whole mini looks flat to me, maybe the paint job isn't doing it justice either?
It just doesn't seem 'wow'.

Lookin good, and I figured this'd inspire a rash of new thunderwolves. Thinking of doing that myself too, really.
You guys are coming to GenCon this year, right? Really looking forward to seeing this and the Super Dungeon Explore box.

As with a lot of these threads, people need to consider that the catgirl model IRL is about as tall as one of her greaves in the photo.
There's a limit to how much "pop" and "wow" can be crammed into such a small figure.

The cat is a little more cartoony than the concept art, which is slightly disappointing. Only slightly, though, as it's still pretty cool.
Proportions aside, since she fits nicely into the anime aesthetic of the rest of the range, there's something not quite right about Kisa's jawline. I think it's partly the apparent lack of bottom teeth... But the face just looks a little off, and misses the mischievous look of the concept, which unfortunately spoils the piece overall for me, as the face is such an important focal point.

Insaniak nails it for me: Her face is really missing the mischievous expression, and along with her left hand leaves me wondering "what is going on there?" If you look at just her face and left arm, it sort of looks like she is trying to convey that she is choking.
The little cat looks a bit off too, almost like a small dog or fox, but it might just be the angle and paint.

This may be the most well-executed entry into my "Lamest Miniatures Ever" list.

There is an attitude that not having an insanely optimized, one shot, six stage, omnidirectional, inevitable, mousetrap of an assassin list army somehow means that you have foolishly wasted your life building 500 points of pure, 24 karat, hand rolled, fine, cuban fail. That attitude has been shown, under laboratory conditions, to cause cancer of the fun gland.

Seriously though, really don't like these. Not impressed - pose seems ridiculous, hips and boob dimesions are so OOT they're beyond comedic value...(massive boobs, okay, but the missing waist...?) She looks like she wouldn't be able to walk.

I'm not convinced by the giant scissors. The "Mike" backpack is fun. The skirt might be a little bit short.
The second one is so not a gundam space marine! I don't like the garden parasol weapon but it could easily be replaced.

Hasami just has me wondering what on earth is going on, but in a...potentially good way? I like the look of it, absurdity and all, but I have no clue what the model could possibly be used for. Her backpack is pretty cool though, and the gigantic scissors, crazy though they may be, could be pretty interesting. Color me intrigued.
Navarre looks pretty promising. Are those two jet engines strapped to his back? The angle's a bit weird on them, and I can't really tell if the one is attached to his arm or his back...I'd assume his back for the sake of symmetry though. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, my first question might have been lost up above, but are you going to be at GenCon this year?
