Ooh, that recon team will be a future must-have for sure!

oooh more shinys

I must have them

How do those heads match up with 7TV's SHIVA operators?

Thanks guys!

I sculpted the original femdroid that the SHIVA figures are based on and I think their heads were a little bigger than the Resistance girls. I'd say the Resistance heads would look fine on the SHIVA bodies but the SHIVA heads might look odd on the Resistance bodies, if that makes sense. I think I've got a couple of master castings of the femdroids somewhere so I'll dig them out and check.

BrookM: do you have the SHIVA figures to confirm this?

Sorry, no SHIVA, but I do have other female 7TV minis, Pandora King and Carrie Mulligan, though I think those are not done by you, can't remember.

Both mine!

Sweet! They're both well in scale with your current line of la Resistance, though miss King's head does come across as a tad biggish, Carrie's mini is right up there with your new sculpts.

News Crew and Resistance girls delivered safely this morning,

great casts as always (so get shopping people!)

I wonder how Tallulah and Carter will feel reporting on an invasion of inter-dimensional green skinned loonies when I can get my hands on the Goblinaid minis ?

Lovely sculpts, Andrew.

Thanks, guys. Now for something completely different...

"Following the disastrous Kowloon Incident, Hong Kong Security Operative Mei-lin Mayfair's consciousness was uploaded into a high-tech gynoid body. Only during a routine check of her coding was it discovered she was an SIS agent. Mei-lin managed to evade the shut-down and reset protocols initiated on discovery and escaped with a small number of slaved gynoid drones. She continues to thwart the plans of her former employers, though she knows she is hunted mercilessly by multiple versions of her own self, each now utterly loyal to the ESU cause."

The release is still some way off - maximum of 2 months, I'd say, hopefully less. The release will be Mei-Lin as a single figure with 2 head options and a pack of three Hong Kong Killer Fembots with optional heads. The heads and weapon arms are interchangeable between the figures.

I like them with both heads...

These are looking amazing, can't wait to get my paintbrush on them!

I definitely like both sets of heads, (edit, misread the post re: packaging) It would be really great if the heads could be available separately as well...

Wow, that's very impressive. Somewhat reminiscent of one of Hasslefree's figs, though. Or maybe it was a Heresy fig. Eh, no matter - must buy!

Will Mei-Lin be available separately?

D'OH!

Mei-Lin will be sold separately with the two head options. The gynoids will be in a 3-pack with 6 heads: the heads with hair and the 'helmet' heads. These heads won't be sold separately though a similar design would likely be used on a sci-fi faction I've got at the back of my mind.

Re: Hasslefree - I think we may have a shared source of inspiration. The actual figures are very different (Mei-Lin's a robot for a start). I think I've taken the theme to one extreme as to make Mei-Lin and the Gynoids unique.

Edit: Oh and of course, the figures will have the usual multiple purchase discount so if you want both sets of heads, there you go!

I have no idea what I'd use these for, but dang I want them. Guys, help me out here.

For Infinity as a Karakuri squad?

For... uhh... the awesome?

Seriously though, I really need to just bite the bullet and place an order...

Or to start a nice Aleph force! There you go.

They could work as RH Kurganova bodyguards. And they'll be available long before, too...

When does the companion figure Easton Powers come out?

7TV has that one covered.

I'm actually seriously considering them for a Necromunda gang.


Otherwise, building a SoB army out of them would be fun

Use them for 7TV!

Again, that acronym keeps resurfacing and I am too ashamed of not knowing what it is, yet never googling it.

I'm a failure of the modern age, what can I say?

Here you go, ignore the fething furries in the banner and read up: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/

We shall never speak of this again.

That's... brilliant. I've been watching The Saint on DVD (fiancee can't stand the machismo in it) and it reminds me of the DS9 episodes when Bashir plays a superspy.

Now for something completely different again!

Lowri Lowrisson, Dwarf Adventurer:






I've decided to go with a completely different style for the Statuesque Fantasy reboot, much chunkier and more exaggerated than my sci-fi figures. There's more information and waffle about this on my blog HERE. He measures 21mm to the top of his helmet and that is a 20mm square base he is standing on.

Release is still some way off as I've got to finish his adventuring friends!

I like the fembots above - especially with the first head set. Not really a dwarf person though

He has the same comically-oversized schnoz as the Red Box Dwarfs. As a fan of all things dwarf, all I can say is I don't like it. It makes me feel like I'm trying to remember which Jim Henson production these creatures remind me of and all I come up with is "Asterix in Brian Froud's Epcot Center: Scandinavia" which makes me uncomfortable for some reason.


The proportions and details of the clothes, armor, limbs and weapon all look great. It's just hard to take a dwarf seriously who risks drowning every time he sneezes.

I like the Dwarf but the nose is a bit too much. It makes an otherwise decent pose look like a caricature rather than a dwarf with a big nose.

Does that make sense?

And because it's sort of relevant....
