Hello!
I was looking to get the HMG Hellcat (new one, but OOP) and found few listings on ebay and some other sites. Problem is that pictures of the box are from the internet and the description sometimes says "HMG/Hacker" and sometimes "HMG+Hacker"? So was there a box where you got one miniature and options for both HMG and Hacker or just the box with 2 miniatures, one with HMG and one as Hacker? I'm asking because most cost around the same so I'd much rather get 2 minis instead of one and some spare arms xD

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.meeplemart.com/resize/Shared/Images/Product/Infinity_423_Nomads_Hellcats_HMG_Hacker.jpg?bw=550&w=550&bh=550&h=550

Thanks in advance!

It's two models.

I just recived a mail from Customer Service of the site on which I found that listing with HMG/Hacker. They sent me some images and apparently there was/is a blister with one body and 2 options for hands, HMG and Hacking hands.

That's weird as hell then, because the HMG never came with alternate hands for the Hacker. HMG model is holding the gun with both hands and helmeted. The Hacker actually had a unique body to boot, with the helmet pressed 'up' and a Hacking Device on top of it.

This is the current product for the Hacker. They ceased selling the HMG model, period, but kept the profile--even changing it to include an E/Mauler. Intention seems to be though that you get the Spitfire model, since most drop troops have moved to similar items.

If I'm going to be honest though? Do not buy it.

The Corregidor stuff, barring the boxed sets(Alguaciles, Jaguars, Mobile Brigada) and a selection of blisters(Intruder HMG, Alguaciles, Bandits), and a few products in other boxed sets(Nomad starter set, Beyond Icestorm, the paint set) was done right at the end of them doing handsculpted items and rather than ensuring the CJC box, Hellcats, and Tomcats went into the new scale--they actually ended up undersized compared to the new stuff.

They're a little small, but not too bad. The lack of faces on most of that stuff makes them look a little short as opposed to undersized. The only notably small looking model is the Aguacil hacker, though the Hellcat in the box is notably tiny too, especially compared to the new spitfire. I don't find the Intruder and Wildcats to be too bad at least and the Tomcats have never felt particularly small even if they are undersized.

Yeah, no.

It's terrible scale work and it was pushed out with Paradiso.

I know they're not in scale. I just don't find it actually noticeable when I field them.

Short update; the box has both miniatures, there is no box with alternate hands ^^' both Customer Service and I didn't notice that the box contained 2 bodies.

Good. Likely they were just going off whatever product description Corvus Belli gave them, and those are iffy at best.
