Does anyone know if Hasslefree has quit selling to Fantization Miniatures? I'm still waiting for a back order for a Hasslefree mini from November (Hanako, which I had been hoping to paint for someone as a gift). They've otherwise been good about some Kensei and Bushido minis (sending partial orders as things were available).

Its out of stock with hasslefree too http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=hanako~hfc013&category=modern-%26%0D%0Apost%252dapoc~modern-martial-artists

so could well be one of the ones they're going to have to remaster before their caster can produce any more

(worth dropping them a line to ask if its something that will be back in production soon, or not for the foreseeable future)

Padre - that's a bit of old news there, but always good to see the Classics again!

Mould is dead, will be around 4-6 weeks before we get any in stock and can supply retailers. Sometimes it just happens with unfortunate timing, like maybe the retailer had an inventory error and we can't fix it for them.

Sorry!

I'm very ashamed to say I didn't think of the Trooper image when I saw that pose, which I really liked.

Good spot!

Sorry!

It happens, nice to know there is a replacement plan in place and going forward.

Doesn't change the fact that I didn't recognize it despite being something of a Maiden fan

I was out of the loop when that KS was running, and didn't start following this thread until fairly recently. Other than that I have no excuses.

Very cool figure no matter what, I'll be picking one up.

If I may ask, is there a guess on the Drumpf Baron Harkonnen release date?

Archbaron Drumpf is part of a short kickstarter that was planned for around now but has been delayed due to my surgeries. Might have to wait until post-Salute now unfortunately as I don't think a late March kickstaretr is a god idea as half the UK are saving up for Salute We'll see.

Oops...thanks for pointing that out...

Would there be other sand inspired people in that short kickstarter?

It's a collection of minis, mostly not by Kev, that we have combined to form 'The Akulian Empire', another force in our sci-fi universe along with the Grymn, Galactic Navy and the Freebooters.

The Akulian Empire's home planet is desert-ish, they are a warring empire and heavily influenced by religion despite supposedly being a triumvirate ruled people (Politics-Religion-Armed Forces). So we have some monks and bald priestesses. We have their regular troops. We have some combat suits. Most of the people are blue-skinned but Archbaron Drumpf is orange-skinned due to the tank treatments for his diseases. Some of his followers have undergone treatments to turn themselves orange to show their devotion.

I shall keep an eye out

Sad to hear the Archbaron will be a while yet, but that Kickstarter sounds like something I can safely say I will be backing

Thanks for the replies Artemis.

An example of the combat suits.

Very cool

Are these ever going to happen?



As in, proper metals and not resin? We asked about these at Salute last year(!) and the word was soon™, but we're almost a year on now...

There DEFINITELY needs to be a not-Kyle McLachlan in one of those suits...

"And how can this be? For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach!!!"

Hammer Girl needs sunglasses if she is going to look properly like her namesake in The Raid 2.

They are being altered, the sculpts as is there are identical except for hair and weaponry, and the weaponry is interchangeable.

So we are amending Mother Morrigan with some added doodads and both will come with a sprue of both sets of weapons.

At least that was the plan, and then the Kickstarter happened and these have remained on 'list'. You'll notice both are now unavailable as resin master to, which means those moulds have died and I am awaiting a hole in Kev's schedule to get the new ones done and remoulded.

Ity's a gorgeous sculpt. Get it happening!

Also, any word on those white decals? I was holding off on that order we discussed to get decals along with models, and it appears that we've both forgotten about them a number of times.

That's a private commission. We won't be selling it sorry.

There 'is' a dolly though ...

A lot of our decals are still out of stock sorry, every time it gets close to the top of the list to fix we've been knocked back a bit, most recently I've been in and out of jaw surgeries for a couple of months.

I am currently ok though and back to work full time so cross your fingers and wish real hard

Thanks for letting me know, it is a great figure though, perfect for [Redacted]

You were going to see if you could print them in white rather than it being an OOS issue. Hope your jaw is recovering and that future surgeries are not needed, or at least minimal.

Damn, that's a cool design. I wish you'd make something like that in 28mm.

I meant they're out of stock as in we've failed to print 'any' of them properly. New printer, needs time to work out how to print the decals properly, had no time due to surgeries etc.

Hey Artemis, do you have any plans to stock Tre's wolves and direwolves in your store? I saw that you already have Fenris, but I'd prefer to get the lot together!
