This is unnecessarily rude. Criticism of the mini is fine, but there's no reason to be insulting.

Call this a public warning for anyone tempted to follow suit. Remember rule #1: Be polite!

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.

The only reason I would get this miniature is for Asdrubael Vect, she can chill with the other two on his dais.

They're so disproportional to her body that they're just. . .beautiful.

Robert shimmel is one of the funniest comics ever!

There are actually quite a few of those out there already.

Nice rack.

How much is that in U.S. dollars? you take money orders? PM Me the details, pls.

I like the effort, but this is a bit of an anatomy fail.

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.

WTH, they look like a cartoon done by a 12 year old who has never seen a naked woman.

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

While I'm not too keen on this model, I'm not quite linguistically gifted to say why, but I do think that something proportioned a little more believably would be nice (note that believable =/= realistic).

I like the model.
maybe some more chains to represent captive. But i dont get all the critism about propotions because its a FANTASY model.
love the model. would buy but i dont have any money.

Wow thats quite funny!

thanks for that, the video cheered me up! Any man who says it doesn't is prbably a liar.... I mean who doesn't just love kittens.

They are all perfectly identical, from the same cast. The picture is taken from an angle, so the miniature on the right is closer to the camera, hence it looks larger.

Good enough for me.

No offense, but her face reminds me of Gollum.

ok.........none taken

How many models have you made?
I may have to scronge up some money.
I want, nay, NEED one of these in my collection!!!!

It has take several molds to get to this, the first generation of casts. I have cast around 20 so far, and will cast more to order.

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.

£7 for the model? Right?
how would you collect the money as i don't want to send it over the internet.
Post?

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.

@Terminus.

I laughed so hard that I started to cry watching that video. The bad thing is that I'm at work....

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.

Thanks again for you feedback, it is all valuable to me.

I fail to see what the fuss is about. It's kinda light comedy to me, a nice sculpt, not to my tastes but I imagine it will sell well.

If you ever do more propotionally correct, darker and more cenobyte/hellraiser style tortured souls, my forthcoming WHFB Slaanesh WoC army is listening...

I am considering it if I'm honest. I have noticed its resin which is a bonus, just wondering if and how I could use it. I'm not a buy and wait with figs kinda guy, I tend to like to know what I am doing with it.

Good sculpt, anyone who can produce a model to that standard deserves credit... By the way, nice tits :lol:
