Title: LAM Preview - Heroes and Villains (Mad Scientists) - New three sculpts
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on August 03, 2012, 02:40:06 PM
This is an announce of our coming small adventuring range, Heroes and Villains (still working title). At the beginning it was actually kind of spin-off of the Post-Apoc range. The original idea was for some post-apoc scientists but we had so much fun creating all the mad doctors and their assistant characters.. The idea was definitely becoming too  pulp-ish and we said, fine, let’s make some nice figures for pure adventure games. Just for fun. So we will have some slightly bizarre mad scientists soon. Due to some weapons, details or clothes not all of the figures will be suitable for the 1920-30s. Btw, it was not our intention to place them back in the 1930s or something like that but more through the entire 20th century. We have no plans to make it to an extensive range, there are just some things we wanted to have. Perhaps some of you will like them too. The figures are going to the moulding/casting now and will be available coming autumn as single models or in two-figure-packs. The figures are made by Igor Karpov, but I guess in the meantime I don’t need to mention this as Igor’s style is just unmistakable. Also here he did a fab sculpting job putting lots of character into the figures.

And here the first preview, Dr. Arcadius “Drill” Kometenstein and his faithful assistant Marta “Big Pin” Orlowski!

Great figures.  :D

It'd be nice to see something like this span into the other LAM ranges. Post Apoc/Pulp era, Steam-punk mad scientist/inventor type with assistants and some kind of Alchemist/wizards for Bruegelburg.  ;)

I would love to have some Alchemists in Bruegelburg. And I think/hope one day the dream is going to come true.

Laughed out loud when I saw the pictures. Most excellent.

My only concern is placing a large enough order to make the shipping worthwhile.

Crazy Dietrich, the former assistant of Dr.Kometenstein. He got mad while one of the experiments of the Doctor. It is rumored that actually Dietrich was the experiment..

The picture does not zoom in enough, but that necklace he is wearing... does it perchance consist of... teeth??

He looks quite good for VSF... perhaps as a driver for an exotic VSF vehicle

They really are nifty.  The sort of figures you can't resist picking up even though you are never likely to use them in a game.

Exactly what I was thinking, although I can add a few of these to my Asylum of Mad Scientists so I have an excuse to get some... ;D

Those are lough-out-loud genius. Looks like two packs, or will there be a Deal?

I'm getting them either way, but figured I'd ask.

They are great, all of them perfect for both pulp and PA games.

How big the line will become?

Not sure yet, first release of these 10 miniatures, later a few additional single figures. If the range runs well, some more would come for sure.
