I didn't see this one in the list, so: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1474659472/teen-force-5/

I have all of the models they've produced before this, and they're quite lovely. Keyed well so they go together nicely and clean casts. Scale and proportions are in a sweet spot where they'd work with Knight Models, Pulp City, and Kitbash Games quite nicely. Also, before you go looking and get sticker shock (which they're aware of), remember all prices are in Canadian $, which works out in pretty much everyone's favor except perhaps Canadians.

I like some of the heroes a lot. They look like they could go well with some Rumbleslam minis (like the Dragon Fighters or Botticelli the turtle), and they’re resin, so I’m mightily tempted.

However, the minis don’t really look like teens to me. I don’t get the name. Is it a reference to an existing IP? I don’t really want to Google “teen force” to find out.

The IP is the WatchGuard Universe. I have a couple of the individual character files rather than the book with the TF5 stuff, but the characters they've created are fun and solid. If you don't play Mutants & Masterminds or Super Mission Force, it'll all likely fall on whether you just happen to like the models.

Yeah, I see that now that I looked at more than just the pictures. Thanks.

Any comparison to the Pulp City, or other superhero lines? 35mm... what does that look like sized up to a Space Marine?

I don't know about a current Space Marine, but their previous stuff is in line with Pulp City. I'll try digging up some PC stuff for samples.

Also, they've just reduced prices for pledges significantly!

You mean backers didn’t find $15 per mini bulk pledges enticing?

Those prices... Ouch.

CAD$13 is only £7.40 or US$10. Which seems OK for a boutique resin mini to me.

That pledge was added later.

Anyway, I still might be interested in picking up one or two minis at that price if shipping isn’t too onerous. For the whole deal, it feels too much since each mini isn’t equally interesting to me.

DO they make all of these other figures as well on the website?

Is this selection all for sale?!


What a great looking selection of figures! I really like the SCP gangs, I see them having some additional use, aside from being superhero punching bags.
