What I think were some of the neatest miniatures from one of the most iconic video games are available again for those who have been looking for them.



They are finished like Rawcliffe pewter figures (polished with a black ink applied for contrast) and cost a bit more than I like to see, but they are still often sought after by painters, collectors and for the tough looking cyber demon. To put them in size perspective, the regular people are an old 25mm heroic scale, so a bit over an inch tall (shorter than current IG figures). The cyber demon though is about 2 inches tall.

They will be a limited release, and $200 is steep for 15 figures, but you do get a case, and the cyber demon goes for $75-100 on eBay...so, for those who are interested, it might be worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6004435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6004435.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production

Regarding the old ones and the prices that they fetch, I had sold three sets of them about 8 years ago and it brought in around $2000 for all three. I still have a bunch of them, probably enough to put together 4 more sets plus more of most the monster types. The people who collect those sorts of things, and even gamers who are looking for a certain sci-fi look will pay a ridiculous amount for them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6009733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6009733.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6009831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6009831.page GMT Re:Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production GW.. .)

They are decent minis, but I find it odd that they are only including 1 of each instead of packaging them like they used to come (2-3 of some per pack).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010301.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010352.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production

Maybe it has something to do with the way the mold is set up. In spincasting metal molds, you have minis in a circle and I could easily see them doing a circle of one mini each on a single mold.


Reaper normally don't design their molds that way, as it means if you need a bunch of one model, you're wasting time getting all the others, too (true, you can toss them back in the melting pot, but that means you're still only getting the one model you need from each spin rather than several of them). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010470.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production sets....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6010554.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production EB all those years ago.

Oh no, I bought one of the Brain-spider guys years ago for a laugh, I was hoping he would fund my retirement someday...

Sure, but if there are being sold as sets....


Then you still wouldn't. Moulds wear out and if you did that, one bit of damage would mean you'd have to redo the entire mould instead of just spinning molds with 10%-30% faulty cavities a few times extra.
You'd have to be insane to do that, or be doing a VERY limited run and be very, very confident every cavity would stand that no. of spins.
It actually makes even less sense than on models sold separately ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6022457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549447/6022457.page GMT Original Doom Miniatures Back In Production
