Man, this stuff is all looking awesome!

Wish I had been able to get in on the Kickstarter.

Hopefully not long now!

Got mine in the mail today. Snapped a quick shot of Maelee and the doc with my phone.



Weapons!

I received my Bomb Kit pledge earlier today, everything looks fine other than a small amount of flash on 1 or 2 of the models.

The only thing i don't really like is the size of the head on the 'pussy patrol' model. The original artwork makes her look like a badass, while the actual model looks more like a 13 year old girl cosplaying in power armor.

I forgot to add postage to my pledge, and emailed them a couple of times asking them to send me a paypal invoice to cover it. They never got back to me, nor have I heard anything from them as their last update said they were contacting everyone without postage added to get them sorted out.

I'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

I missed their pledge manager time to add more to my order until I saw the message saying they'd just closed the window. Shame, since I'd have added some more figures and the postage. I doubt I'll be buying extras from their retail website, since there's so much else to buy out there.

Got mine as well.

Only 2 gripes, one minor and a more important one. The important one is Pussy Patrol... holy head size, batman. But Bug spray is amazing, so I might just end up swapping them.

Minor proportion gripe is with Mira. He torso (not talking about boobs) looks like it is lacking in ribs.

I just ransomed my Babes from the post office (customs charges, sigh), and they are magnificent indeed

Patrick also included a neat and unexpected extra for me



which is excellent

and the postcards are very neat too (note that babes based on the licenced Mat Dixon art don't have cards, you'd have to buy them direct from Mat Dixon if you wanted them)






Automatically Appended Next Post:
Seeing the minis in the hand always gives you a different feel for them than just photos and based on this my three current favourites are

Dusty Paige (My top pick from the art, and the mini is even better)


Wu Ling Shu (Not so keen on the art, but the mini herself is spectacular, so she's now in my top 3)


Victoriana (I've always had a fondness for this period in art, games and books)


As well as almost all the babes I also picked up all four reinforcements which all came out very neat too

Professor Karrick & Thule (I'm glad the Professor is here, otherwise she'd be competing for a top 3 slot too)


Shunkaha & Luta (I got an extra top hat, Patrick obviously remembered me raving about it in the KS comments, Yay!)


Atomic Punks (the extra top hat fits the 'monster', but I may save it for something else)


HS38 Rocket Bike & Rider


the resin casting on the bike is really good, the panel lines are nice and sharp and no distortion of the shape at all

Status Update (It's marked backers only, but there's nothing remotely sensitive in it so I'll chancing cross posting)

"Hey all!

We are working our way through just under a hundred remaining packages that are being sorted out. Sunday morning will see us casting supplemental pieces for things that are currently in low supply and some padding for stocking the web store.

We will need to run about 100 more of each Babe and a few Sidekicks.

We are also completely out of resin base inserts. I have placed one order for about half of them and will be placing another order on Monday along with additional Rocket Bike parts.

So - if we are working through an issue with your package and it has been resolved, your packages will go out as soon as we have the resin base inserts to drop in them.

The web store is almost done. Just adding a few more items and pictures and it should be up and working by Monday. It's not pretty yet but at least it will be functional.

Thanks for your patience.

Patrick"

so it looks like the webstore is due to go live this Monday if you fancy any of the minis and missed the KS

The Bombshell Babes webstore is now officially up and running

so if you liked the look of anything you've seen you know where to go!
