Title: Crooked Dice: Daredevil Pilots - NEW PICS
Post by: uti long smile on 23 February 2012, 01:46:50 PM
Take to the skies in March with our three Daredevil Pilots! Sculpted by Ian Mountain these three beauties come with couiffered heads on the tab and two come with alternate guns hands. Also available will be a seperate head sprue with helmeted heads for when the girls venture above the clouds.

These can used as paratroopers or the Dare sisters - both of which are covered in the upcoming 7TV: On Location supplement.

They are off for mastering today and planned for an early March release. Dates and price to follow.

Very nice. Could have a few uses.

Oh, yes, very nice.  Destined to be most useful (he said, rhapsodically).  Any chance of putting together a sprue of the non-helmet heads?

Yep - already on that. They'll be released in April alongside LOADS of other new heads and some more Minions.

Oh, good.  I'm quite in harmony with that.

Those look fantastic. I can't wait to get a set. I know they are supposed to be an all-girl unit, but is there a chance of getting males in similar uniforms?

(That was such a nerd question. Yeah, girls are nice but what I really want are more dudes. I should stick to Warhammer 40k with that attitude.)

Nothing planned I'm afraid. Would any of the Time Lift Security guys be any good?

Is there such a thing as selective reading disorder? That's twice in a couple of days I've not read something that's there in plain sight.

They are rich and beautiful and can kick ass and fly planes very, very fast. They are the Dare sisters and they are coming to 7TV in our new book On Location.

They are also on our office shelf in small metal form and we'd love you to buy some. Deal £9, Single miniatures £3.50 each, and 3 Helmet Heads for £1.60.

Yes.

And furthermore, yes.  :)

The close-up of the head sprue is just appallingly well-painted.  :o

Ditto on the head sprue, particularly (which also shows how beautifully sculpted they are).

Now that I've seen these girls in black I want a second batch to have female Federation Troopers for my Blakes 7 project. And I haven't even bought the first batch yet. Such a dangerous company, and I love you for it.
