How long are you guys leaving them in the water to get them back into shape?

I was doing about 20 seconds for mine, but they seemed to return to their original shape in about 5 seconds most of the time (in nearly boiling water).

Already got the great old one and kaladrax assembled. So excited

Is the Cthulhu mini exactly as seen a couple months ago ?

Alf (or anyone with Kaladrax), does he come with the "priestess" model (Hekatria?)? There was some talk at one point that she was going to be included, then not, so wondering how it finally shook out.

Heh, of course I could wait for my 2 to come on Thursday... mmmmm, two bone dragons. What am I going to do with two bone dragons?! Aaaaaaaahhhh!

Do you know what she looks like? In my box, I got Kaladrax, Cthulhu, and Wyrmgear (Clockwork Dragon) in their special bones packaging, then I also got Mr. Bones and this woman with a staff/spear, and then I got my big white box filled with my bones figures.

She is definately meant to be included (in KS purchaces of Kaladrax, not retail ones),

as Reaper Brian specifically mentioned that they could not start shipping Kaladraxes immediately as Hekatria was coming in on the last container to arrive.

So I imagine she'll be a separate human sized mini in the 'add on' pile, not actually in the vampire box

Yeah, I noticed a separate female model outside of the vampire box along with Mr. Bones, Kalandrax and the demons I got. That must have been Hekatria. I tossed her to the side Chris Brown style to open up Kalandrax though, and now she's mixed in with the other 200+ models. She's lost for now.

Just got my shipment notification!

We will be sorting through the goodies right after I finish cooking dinner.

Totally jealous, TAG.


On the flip side, mine is a 35 line item order, so when I do get them, it will be a hellacious pile of minis!

Yeah, the Vampire order is a single line item. My box came with 4 line items, the "Vampire box" (and it's pile of minis), Cthulhu, Wyrmgear, and Kaladrax... so if you have a 35 line item order, I seriously hope you decide to dive into a kiddie pool and swim in bones .

Has anyone taken a look at their giants? I haven't had the chance to open up my vampire box and look at everything...

Damn it, I want my models!

Got mine right as I was headed out the door for a three day work stint!

Though the Kaladrax is smaller than I thought it'd be for the size of that monster!

*grumblegrumblegrumble"

8600 orders left on the counter.. so probably another 12 days or so to go.

his tail is far larger and longer than I thought.

Anyone have issues with REALLY spongy models? My Kaladrax's head and tail spike are super soft, like kitchen sink sponge soft. His legs are less than load bearing as well. Some other models are like that too, with others the same size and volume etc being much more rigid.

Just got my shipping comf!

Only 24 hours better looking, it seems.

I found that on the models I've assembled, Kaladrax's head and Cthulhu's head seem to be softer with a little give... not sure how I feel about that, but so far it hasn't bothered me.

Edit: The legs and tail on my Kaladrax was the same density as his body

This is the first I've seen that noted... interesting! I'll have to try jumping on it when I'm over at your place next

Thanks for the info, Alf. I never got C'Thulhu's head to compare!
Kally's tail and body were really rigid, then his head and tail are pillows, with legs in between. Some other models are like that too, like one of my Dark Elves, the sorcerer looking one, is like made out of cloth. I can get her extremities to move by breathing really hard on her...

And I have received my box!

Hekatria does seem to be randomly shoved into the Vampire box, and damn, the Kaladrax box is the size of a loaf of bread, and a lot heavier...

Are you seeing any miniatures with The Wehrkind Spongy Factor (WSF), as described above?

My box of glorious miniatures arrived today.

I'm a bit stunned as I didn't expect it until next week!
