From the newsletter; Almost May Releases in June Hello. May was a very busy month and we're kicking June off right with a handful of new releases, new materials, and a special birthday encore set. I hope you enjoy these new figures. Beyond the Wall A diorama piece exploring themes of vulnerability and fear of the unknown. Lokman Lam illustrated the scene and the model was brought to life by digital sculptor Hector Moran. The Beyond the Wall kit includes the base, the little wall and an alternate torso piece that does not have the chest plate. Experiment of Death As part of ongoing R&D the two most popular Kingdom Death figures (Wet Nurse & Pinup Twilight Knight) have been made into PVC plastic! To celebrate this new step we are releasing them together in a single box. Forsaker 2.0 A brand new, amazing Forsaker sculpted by the masterful hands of Thomas David. Sadly, the original figure had several production problems that made it impossible to cast faithfully. My favorite detail of the new version are the teeth bared in rage nearly hidden in the open mouth of the Forsaker's mask! Pinup Survivor The pinup survivor is a playful re-imagining of the female survivor. Illustrated by Lokman Lam and was digitally sculpted by Stefano Pinna. The kit comes with an alternate head, in case you want her helm-less. June is Adam's Birthday Month! At the end of the month I will be turning 30. To celebrate I've made a special encore run of a few popular figures! 30 of each of the following have been added to the store: Flower Knights, Grand Mothers, Mothers, Survivor ( Female ) & Lion Knights! Thank you for being awesome fans and allowing me to continue the Kingdom Death vision into a new decade! The Future The project has been progressing at a pretty rapid rate. There is just a mountain of stuff that is not quite ready to reveal yet. There will be some form of a beta (of a game!), which will be paired with a way for fans to provide feedback and help create a great experience. Much more concrete information to share in August. In the meantime we'll be lining up new releases all summer. I can say from experience that the Kingdom Death minis are both fantastic, and that the limited runs sell out amazingly fast. If you are interested in the superlative Flower Knight, there are still a few left, but they are moving fast, fast!

I'll say this about Kingdom Death. For their mini release strategy, either they've badly misjudged demand or its a brilliant marketing strategy. Either way, although I do like majority of the sculpts despite being a big manga-ish, some of the other sculpts are bit too, well, rapey. I hate saying that, but its the best description I can come with. I'll probably pick up a few of the more sane sculpts when they become generally available. Also, perhaps they need to consider a kickstarter or similar project. On the face of it, the demand seems to be there.

Wow. For once I actually got this info in time to place an order. I got me a "Beyond the Wall". Pinup Survivor's hips look a little funky and I'm not all that interested in the Forsaker, so I didn't get those. The giant plastic fallic/breast monster scares my inner child.

Yeah I've made that exact point in an earlier KD thread, and I don't mind saying it at all. /shrug. KD is rapey. That doesn't diminish the fact that their sculpts are mind boggling, and their artists are incredibly skilled. But I figure it's just natures way of indicating who I should avoid: people who have a fantasy world in which to scratch the part of their brain that is interested in / curious of / entertained by horror monster rape. Or people who take their sculpting skills and go... "hmmm, I can pose a woman or put her in any situation I want to...?"
Free country, go for it. I'll pass.
PS: that Forsaker 2.0 is pretty awesome

I must admit that these sculpts are very detailed and took lots of time and talent to produce, but they are just a bit too perverse for my tastes. I think that maybe you should release more sculpts like the Forsaker 2.0 or the Flower Knight to truly display the talented artists' skills and effort. I'm really not knocking any of these gorgeous minis, but the Whet-nurse and a few others just a bit much. The Beyond the Wall mini looks superb, and the illustration that accompanies it is fantastic, but it lacks modesty, if you could say that. I understand how the human anatomy can have beauty, but some of these just abuse it. Excuse my puritan idealism. Great work!

Well, my package arrived and... it was the wrong mini. :(
I've sent email so hopefully this will get sorted out quickly. Anyone get their figures yet?

Very sorry to hear about that. I received my order yesterday; a "Behind the Wall", the new Foresaker, and the Flower Knight. All seem to be in good condition, but I haven't had the chance to assemble them yet.
What was the mistake, I hope not a limited piece...

The mistake was that I received a single Flower Knight that I did not order and not the two Behind the Wall figures that I did.

I'll take that Flower Knight off your hands, unless that makes dealing with KD needlessly complex for you?

Whoa! Yeah, it's hard to comment on "rarity" (since all of the limited items are completely sold out), but I know that the Flower Knight is much sought after (that stock didn't last the morning when it went up). I dunno if Poots will be able to make good on your Wall pieces, but here's hoping.
And of course, making good on the price difference... Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and I didn't realize this was the case, but some of the new sculpt of the Forsaker are still available! (It looks like 150 of the 450 limited run were held back.)
As of right now, 58 in stock.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much it for any of the limited materials, including the Beyond the Wall and Flower Knight.

Thought I'd throw this up for you guys, this is from HazardArts DA page and is meant to be an upcoming Kingdom Death release (don't know when).
The Architect:
Here is a link to HazardsArt DA: http://hazardousarts.deviantart.com/
Great Looking figure with a stunning body sculpt, very nice hair as well, not a huge fan of the bare breast but painting can cover that.
You know looking at the quality of the Kingdom Deaths pin-up range I'm honestly surprised they haven't expanded into resin collectable figure's (i.e anime figures). Considering
they already have a heavy comic/anime vibe in their work and 3D prints could be adapted to a larger scale (Average anime figures are 1/6 to 1/8 scale, 21-26cm's tall) they
would be very popular, not to mention it could expand their fan/player base.
Who knows maybe some time in the future this could happen.

Wow, thanks so much for the heads up! Looking at his dA page, I see he did several of the pin-ups, a great find to add to my watch list.
As for the figure itself, it looks good, although I shudder at how thin that axe thing is, just imagining how delicate that will be cast in resin makes me a little queasy.
As for the bare bodkin, I think that could easily be painted to be nude/non-nude, as preferences dictate.
The line is super eclectic, isn't it? Crazy knights in armor, pin-ups, monsters, gibbering monsters... this is going to be a hell of a game when it actually materializes. Or be unplayable, and bought for the awesome minis, either way!

Heh, she was probably sold out the morning she went up, but since she (along with all the other pin-ups) is a general release, you will get another bite at the apple.
