Title: Black Cat Bases release "Whiskers & Tentacles" (new figure range)
Post by: Black Cat Bases on May 28, 2009, 07:57:21 PM

We are very pleased to announce the release of the first 5 figures in a new range for us "Whiskers & Tentacles"  They are 28mm scale.

David Pinnick (AKA Sgt DWW / Dances with Words)  has very kindly given us the production rights to this range.

First we have a brain sucker alien (lots of tentacles, well for anyone who knows David, what else would you expect?:))Sculpted by Brad Shier:

This range will contain everything from the truly weird and wonderful to standard humans.

In this first batch we also have a power suit and 2 battle bots all sculpted by Simon Fraser (the battle bot with the gun has been converted here at BCB).:

 There will be more variants of these!

And finally a large female nude! Originally sculpted by Dominique Seys

All of them can be found here: http://www.blackcatbases.com/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=153&numRecordPosition=1

This range will consist of some completely new sculpts that have never been seen before and also figures from the old Dopplerganger USA range.

We are really excited about this project and look forward to working on it over the coming months.

 

Our thanks go to David Pinnick and also to Brian Cooke.

Thanks for your interest!

That alien needs a version with a cocktail shaker in one tentacle, a martini glass in another, and a bottle of gin in a third. Then it'll be a true DWW-inspired "bar-tentacle"!  :D

Hmm... that'd actually be a pretty easy conversion!

Hi,

Glad you like them! The alien is my favourite as well, I am sure he will see several conversions over the coming weeks!
