Title: The Head and Killbot
Post by: Agis on July 25, 2009, 07:57:39 PM
Two fantastic minis from the Superfigs Range: The Head [ZC5] and the Killbots [ZC6] are Free Agents in the 4-Colour world.

I choose to paint them in a retro-SF weird war paint scheme. The Killbot also received two MGs to give him some ranged punch...

reminds me of something I've seen on the Incursion site...
Although it was only the brain and not the whole head

You get the Head with two head sculpts, one generic bad ass and the "Fuehrer"...
I wanted the Fuehrer for some Incursion playtest.

That is what it is for: Incursion expansion playtesting! ;)

Interesting. Copplestone does a hitlerhead-bot as well. Hmmm. I already have the BTD HItler and the Blue Moon zombie Hitler. Maybe I can squeeze in the bots as well. After all, anyone knows he had lots of doubles. ;)

"Der Führer is coming!"

 lol

Superb work. If I´m allowed to nitpick, maybe the deepest shadows in the "cloud of fire" are a bit stark. The various parts of the blastcloud look a bit separated due to that.

I believe the Copplestone Führerbot is a must for WWW2. If you have a BTD mini, it'll be a great comparison shot: 1938-1949...  8)

Now i ask ya, why is there never the body of Hitler with a robotic head? That is discrimination against bodies i think.  :-)

Well, now he´s got a body which is as swift as a Greyhound, as tough as leather and as hard as Krupp steel. Literally, the latter. lol

I could use quite a few of those Killbots. But where does one purchase those models? My Google-Fu seems to be slipping...

Well the official Superfigs Names and Codes are already provided in the initial post from me. After that the usual problem with the great but elusive Superfigs range. IIRC they are available via Old Glory. West Wind carried them for a while, but are now only selling leftovers.
Maybe Scott can enlighten us! ;)

Jay.....till I read the shipping costs to Europe.

24 dollars for 2 packs, 42 dollars flat rate box.

I suddenly like them a  lot less, I wonder why.... A pity, but the excessive shipping kills this for me.  :'(

Guys, I asked Teresa from OG 25's about this super-high quote shipping, and she gave me this response:

========================================================
The shipping is an estimated cost on the web site, we adjust the total to actual shipping charge before we run the credit cards or refund the overage to their account if they pay with PayPal.  On really small orders a lot of time the shipping ends up to be the $7.00 minimum.  The way the shipping is set up on the site it has to be that way or the large orders would not get enough postage charged.  I do have on the web site that we adjust the total to actual charge.

http://www.oldglory25s.com/view_doc.php?view_doc=8   

I have the same thing on the Blue Moon and Crusader USA sites.
 
Regards,
Teresa
===========================================================

Actual shipping to Europe would not be as much as it seems. I am going to see if there is some way they can change this on the site.

And I am still working on a European/UK distributor. Frankly, the line is gigantic and no one wants to step up and carry it. We're still waiting for someone to emerge.

Sounds fair enough for me!

Same here, that sounds much better.

Now the question is, is that shipping explanation on the website? Seems if it is not it should be. Might get some more business if it was. Just like unless someone made mention of it here, and Scott didnt follow up, the above order may never have been made. JUst a thought.  :-)

Please re-read the following from Scott's post above: "I am going to see if there is some way they can change this on the site. "  ;)
So HE is on it.
Otherwise you are absolutely right, but please do not yell at us all the time (presuming you are aware that all bold writing is the equivalent of yelling online...).
 ;) ;)

Well crapola there Agis. I read the entire response including the above words and for some silly words those did not sink in, or i wouldn't have made the response. And Teresa is truly on it as stated. Excuse me while i go back to English classes tomorrow.

Otherwise you are absolutely right, but please do not yell at us all the time (presuming you are aware that all bold writing is the equivalent of yelling online...). ;) ;)

As for the bold print. I simply say....I understand to some that "bold printing" is netspeak for yelling. I do not agree and I have never seen it that way in well over 12 years online. But i thank you for the look out.

Keep on keeping on Agis and keep putting out the painted goodies for me to drool over. :-)

Would be helpful, no sign of them on the superfigs website???

Very odd.  :?

Not so odd. The http://www.fourcolorfigs.com site is about to go away in the next month or so.

Old Glory 25's handles all of the orders and has all of the current catalog pics. I just do not have the wherewithal to maintain the solo site any longer. Not that I did any kind of decent job maintaining it the last few years. It's an old Geocities account, and Yahoo is removing all of those accounts.
