Hey.. I was given the Alternate Performer from Wyrd this last Origins, as a buddy spent a bundle at their booth and did not want her.

How.. "rare" is this figure? He thought it would work well for my Wild West game, but.. I kinda hate to use something hard-to-get for a townsfolk model.

Is it worth trying to trade for other Malifaux 2E stuff.. maybe a crew box? (i.e. is this worth $40).. or for some of the Multipart Kits?

Or.. is this a non-issue thing? Worth not much in trade..

Help me figure out what to do!!!!!!!! Internet, you are my only hope!

(well... not really).. I know a lot about GW figure value.. Malifaux is not in my wheelhouse

Given plastic and not one of the exceptionally difficult ones to get ahold of (a few of the early ones are due to circumstance or popularity), she's still got a pretty hefty price with her. Unless the market's recently gotten saturated since I was last paying attention, yeah, now would be the time to sell/trade, since wyrd'll want to recoup the price of the mold so she's sure to be available later while now she's only been available the once (IIRC).

The value of Wyrd's LE items (with the exception of Dead Justice, Hannah, and the Nightmare Teddy) is constantly in flux.

For example, 3 months ago, Nightmare Tara boxes were going for $120+ and since regular Tara got announced, they've dropped to the $50 range.

Performers were worth a lot at Black Friday, but Easter cut it down from $40 to around $25.

If you're looking to sell/trade though, I might be interested (I was just going to grab a Performer and Mannequin online).

The prices of the old nightmare stuff always makes me wonder, The Nightmare teddy I had went for a bundle but the Miss pack (I assume a rarer model) no one even wanted. I'll never get that, must be me

They're still selling her for one thing. That, and anybody who really wanted Howard probably also wanted Joss and Spiders. I thought the proportions weren't very good with her, but oh well. Miss Terious and Miss Ery are my favorite LE's. Miss Anne Thrope would be, but I really don't need another Wastrel.

They still have her available o.O? She was the model that came in random boxed sets in 1.0 iirc. Haven't seen the model up for sale solo anywhere, she was an alternative nurse. have to agree though on Miss Terious, that's by far my favorite aswell. Depending on the actual model the new miss might join her there though. Won't need another wastrel either but then again, I never needed a death marshal either so the usefullness of the miss models aren't top priority for me

Gertjan, they sold the last of their metal stock off last black friday. IDK if that's what Dr. What was referring to.

Either way, my assumption was that the model just wasn't amazing.

Whoops. I was thinking of Miss Step....


I'm going to bed now....

FWIW a quick look at EBay shows the last several sales at $55. with a range of ~$20-100. With most in the $40-$50 range.

So she may be worth a bit. Now what people are willing to trade who can say.

I snapped one up the other day for $20 since it was on BIN. Same with an LE Bayou Gremlin. I rarely see them go for less than $60, but then, I'm not an ebayoholic, so I'm not the biggest authority on their going rate.

Alternate performers? Wait for Gencon with the NE Colette box.

There was an alternate performer as part of last year's Black Friday promotion.

That and the Performers in Dark Carnival really do not fit aesthetically with a Colette crew. Colettes crew is a bunch of showgirls, the Performers in Dark Carnival are freakshow members.

The Performer from Black Friday is a straight up third showgirl for Colette.

As said, hunt ebay. They've been dropping in price lately.

The showgirls are mannequins. The freak show are Colette, Angela and cassie. The monkeys are doves.

Incorrect. The Mannequins are Mannequins. Both sets will have 2 Mannequins.

Baritone Lola is Cassandra.

Thin Lizzy and Mercury are the Performers.

Not entirely sure who 'Angela' is.

Even then, the Mannequins in both sets are different. These seem to have swords stabbed through them, and are holding weapons. Colettes Mannequins look like artificial showgirls with toe-blades, one in ain dancing pose.

The pictures of Colettes crew are on page 73 of the new Chronicles.



If you want a third Performer in the aesthetic of Colettes crew, you'll need to hunt down a Black Friday LE Performer.

Mr Cooper is Colette.

Henchman is the strongman.

I'm well aware that Cooper is Colette. Whether Lola or Mercury is Cassandra remains to be seen - last I heard, it was Lola. However, you then still have 2 named characters, either Lizzy and Lola or Lizzy and Mercury, who will absolutely be Performer standins. The Mannequins are Mannequins. They're even helpfully named the same. As the box is a direct clone of Colettes starter, there is literally nothing else the other 2 named characters could be other than Performers.

Cooper - Colette
Lola/Mercury/Lizzy - Cassandra
Lola/Mercury/Lizzy - Performer
Lola/Mercury/Lizzy - Performer
(I did all 3 just to cover all bases - but one will be Cassandra and the others Performers)
Monkeys - Doves
Mannequins - Mannequins

So, again, if you want a third Performer in Colettes showgirl aesthetic, you'll need to hunt down the LE model. Which is what started this whole thing.

Everyone think the NE Mannequins will work just fine with a Colette Crew? I'm thinking yes, but wanted some opinion reinforcement

I think they'll work well, particularly the sword one.

They certainly wouldn't stick out as much as the Dark Carnival performers. I still don't think aesthetically they'd fit. They'd look better in a Collidi crew.

So I haven't seen Colette and co's M2E stats....can the mannequins still form together on a 50mm base?

Yes. I've got a friend who plays her. She's horrific. Her+Mech Rider is broken as anything.

Makes me curious how they'll package the performers then, because you really need 4 total to play the ones from the starter, right?

2 on their normal bases

2 for the combined base.

Or am I way off?

I think you mean Coryphees, which can still form together into the Coryphee Duet. The Mannequins cannot do this at all.
