Court of the Sultana is the latest Kickstarter By Effin Cool Minis, its to fund an ADULT THEMED range of 32mm white metal miniatures and accessories.

They are off to a great start as of writing this, within 24hrs of launching they are $500 short of the $3000 funding goal.

Adult themed: Soft porn marketed to compulsive Onanists. Hardly surprising they've done well. Soft porn sells and lets face it for many within the hobby a 32mm figure is as close as they will ever get to a female that isn't closely related to them.

More than a little tacky, some of the accessories may be useful.

It is now funded and working towards the first stretch goal.

[Original Timmy]

Stretch goals have now been added, they are also open for suggestions for future ones.

"The first figure listed when unlocked will be included in "THE WHOLE COURT" pledge level. This miniature will also be assigned an ADD-ON value so that anyone else who is eligible to ADD-ON miniatures to their pledge may adjust their pledge to cover getting the new figure. 

The second figure/s listed will also unlock and get added to the list of figures in the ADD-ONS section.  These figures will not be automatically included in any of the current pledge levels, but may be added to any pledge that is eligible for ADD-ONS. 

The following list represents the order, as well as funding level needed to unlock each figure:

$6000USD – Female Water Bearer: with a +7 add-on price (unlocking the Female Lounging Hetaira as a +7 add-on option)

$7000USD – Female Palace Guard: with a +7 add-on price (unlocking 2 other Female Guards in different poses each available as +7 add-on options)

$8000USD Female Palace Musician-Drummer with drum  with a +7 add on price (unlocking Female Drumming Partner as $7USD add on option)

$9000USD Female Vizier with a +7 add on price (unlocking and alternate pose of Kas Khan the big cat for $7USD add on option)"

Is it just me or does the Sultana have amazingly long toes?  Especially compared with her fingers.

Good luck to them, but the women seem oddly malformed and the big cat doesn't look healthy at all.  The bits that don't involve people or animals seem fine, if a bit cartoon-ish.  The women cry out to have someone with a working knowledge of real female human anatomy explain in little tiny words why they can't bend or twist in the poses shown.

Not only does the Sultana have long toes, she also appears to be suffering from some sort of deep vein thrombosis in the upper calves. Perhaps she's relaxing after a long flight and forgot her surgical stockings?

I think the prospects of  who ever did this  studying female anatomy, at least in person,  are remote. Although it's possible they've been sneaking sly looks at their mum's legs. That might explain the thrombosis. It doesn't explain the digits, unless their mother is an Orangutan.

That is entirely unnecessary.

As to the figures, yes the anatomy could use some work, but it's as good as a lot of the work from experienced sculptors in the business. Which is to say that most folks don't seem overly picky about anatomy unless they dislike the subject matter.

I am picky, so a pass for me. Good luck to the creator though.

The Sultana could make for a nice miniature, but the right boob ( left for us viewers ) is off, it should hang downwards the other, not point upwards, as she's not sitting straight up but leaning sidewards. The toes don't seem right aswell, but hey, it's a 28mm model, and I still have to see the first 100% correctly posed and proportioned human as a 28mm scale model. 

[Schrumpfkopf]

Some of the things I see could be massively helpful for my own oriental adventures.
Will certainly pledge on a few things.

[Original Timmy]

@All, remember these are WIP pictures, the sculptor has been taking note of the constructive criticism that has been posted across forums and social media. so these things should get rectified.

The first two stretch goals have been unlocked and they are getting close to unlocking the third.
 
The Female Water Bearer and a Female Palace Guard have been added to the "Whole Court" pledge for free and they have been added to the selections of add-ons available for everyone else to purchase, the Female Lounging Hetaira and 2 other Female Guards in different poses have also been added to the list of add-ons.

[Original Timmy]

Two more stretch goals have been unlocked.

The Female Palace Musician-Drummer with drum and a Female Vizier have been added to the "Whole Court" pledge for free and have been added to the selections of add-ons available for everyone else to purchase, the Female Drumming Partner and alternate pose of Kas Khan the big cat have also been added to the list of add-ons.

The WIP picture of the drummer was quickly put together to give a rough idea of what it will look like etc, it needs work all over as its a very early WIP.
