He was in Arkham Asylum.

He grabs Scarcrow and pulls him under the water in his lair.

This was my exact thought. Also, painting these is going to be delightfully agonizing because the sculpts must be done justice. I will likely need to paint a couple of Harleys as gifts, too. Oh Knight Models, how you torment me!

Reaper didnt need a kickstarter and still did one, the result is a ton of new BONES being released at a much faster rate than before.

Please no, we don't need kickstart and there limited stuff. All kickstart dose for a company that can do with out them, is making stuff the no kickstart buyer can't get. I've passed on more then a few games becouse I could by the kickstart stuff and cut out the store that would sell the stuff. And, FLGS are the one that really need the money, now they don't get it becouse of kickstarts.

If it a new no money company, then go kickstart. Still if they want my money, don't limit stuff. Look how Judge Dreed did it, I can buy every thing from there kickstart, but then they really could of done it without a kickstart. I've already pick up some stuff for there game from my store, so both get money instead of just the company I never goto.

Didn't they lose the licence for that range? I'm sure they have stopped the Boba Fett bust I wanted.

From what i understand Knight Models chose not to renew the Star Wars license, there was a post about it on their Facebook page way back in July.

There have been several questions lately regarding the future of the our Star Wars line . After a lengthy evaluation, Knight Models has decided not to renew the Star Wars license with Lucasfilm. We’ve had a long and fantastic run, but with the economic downturn, we have made the tough decision to discontinue our Star Wars lines and extend the licenses we work with new products as the LOTR , DC
, BATMAN films, MARVEL and more .

The license has officially ends ,while I know the news is disappointing, we wanted to make this announcement as soon as possible and thank you for being such great fans. It’s been a fantastic ride with the Star Wars community and working with Lucasfilm and you never know when we may circle back again!.

Knightmodels Team

I feel bad for anyone who had some of the star wars stuff on their 'to buy' list, only for the range to completely disappear overnight without even a warning that they weren't planning to renew the license.

I wanted so bad a Boba Fett 28mm scale, but the cancelation was so fast that I lost my chance. I got some other minis before though.

Kickstarter is a great way to Kickstart (see what i did there) a new range etc like this but it isnt a fix-all. If they have more talented sculptors than licensed IP then getting more money isnt going to help. But if they blew their wad on getting the IP then the kickstarter money would be perfect to pay talented sculptors to do their magic and means we can have pretty man-dollies that much quicker. It doesnt have to be a "Kickstart or this thing doesnt get off the ground" in my mind, it is sometimes a case of "Kickstart and this project will only take 4 months to get a full range of minis rather than 4 years of relying normal sales."

Given the choice between a normal production schedule of 2 years to get a Bat Faction, some GCPD, some Mooks and some Bad guy Solos...OR them having a kickstarter which let them have all of that, plus more in the same time frame I am all for it. Hell, double so if I can get something cheaper than normal or if there is something "limited" that I like the look of.



Going specifically with the Dredd KS,
Spoiler:
if they hadn't of done the Kickstarter, then they would not have had the capital to make half of the cool new sets and i severely doubt we would have seen the Wagons let alone the Manta any time soon. They would have just plodded along with the same minis and maybe brought out a box or two every year or so when they could afford it. Instead they have a metric butt-load of new minis to flesh out their game and hopefully get more people interested and in turn more money for the game etc

Why doesn't Harlequin have a Harlequin costume? Disappointed!
It's like showing Batman in Jeans and T-Shirt.

Five pages in and you haven't twigged that this isn't based on Batman in general but Batman: Arkham City.

Maybe I'm being a bit of a perv, but I prefer the costume she wore in Arkham Asylum.

Thus


is better, in my eyes at least, to the one H.B.M.C. posted. I really hope they do both versions, what a treat that would be!

Well as far as those costumes for Harley Quinn (and 75% of the villains for that matter within the setting) go in the game, from a story perspective Paul Dini wrote that she had no access to her original costume and thusly pieced one together from everything and anything she could find. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_rhuOnQ_TA , Skip to 5:00)

So with this in mind if they do alternate models I would really prefer them to give us the choice of any of her three costumes, especially since they had art in Arkham Asylum that showed us their spin on her classic look:

Cough Cough, just went over the paperwork from them and set up a trade account . I have been holding out setting one up with them but these are just too good not too. I will be adding them onto our soon to launch webstore later today!

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!
