Seconded.

A pic will help a lot to see how they match.

Thanks a lot.

Here is a link to my SkyDrive for additional pictures:

Here are some with 28mm Devil Dog Design US Rangers (Sorry, I do 15mm now and have very little 28mm left)

Post by: tnjrp on 02 March 2012, 08:48:32 AM: It's good see these back in production, although I'm admittedly happier about the Terror-mites being still available. Is there anything else from the old Mongoose Starship Troopers line you expect to salvage?
Title: Re: Rebel Minis Release the Space Scorpions!
Post by: JRacel on 02 March 2012, 11:27:06 AM: The only other two I know of is some sort of Mantis (I think there are two types?) and a "Spider Bug". I'm not sure whn they are expected to be released.

Post by: tnjrp on 02 March 2012, 11:44:36 AM: Mmm, the Spider and the Mantis* are definitely also welcome back:

It's a shame tho if Burrowers and Overseers are lost to time (can't recall what the latter was made of tho, it could've been a plastic kit in which case bringing it back to production would indeed be difficult).

*) Mantis Bugs came with two head options apparently, I didn't remember that...

Agreed. I don't have either one of those in my bug collection. I'll be keeping an eye out.

Shame the Ripplers and the Overlord aren't available anywhere. :(
