Went back to the original TMP post, and the comments left. I especially like WarrenB's take on possible names...

Ekk'stenshunzz?

Spikez O'Toppleover?

Skankyaa?

Hairbarella?

Intergalactic Stripper Barbie?

exponential.

He's an extraordinarily clever (and handsome) one, that's for sure.

On a scale of 1-10, my interest in the midriff brigade wavers somewhere between 0 and 1. Reading about just how they might be trotted out for 40K doesn't exactly make it go shooting up.

Actually no, Mantic to their credit advertise, promote, hype and then deliver. This lot just hype....but then, as their entire concept seems to be to take the worst aspects of 40k/Warhammer design and exaggerate it, maybe that is a good thing.

Yeah, but its hardly a good thing delivering junk your stockists cannot sell and in cases even give away.

At least these would appeal to the weirdos who inhabit GW...might even count as a love interest...but let's not imagine it further, they are an odd lot.

Nope, just an honest attempt at accuracy.

Can't say that I disagree, especially about Mantic. I all but gave up hope on decent minis from them when they pushed those sisters through. Could've been a half-decent counterpoint to these collectables for the discerning sweaty-palmed gentleman; but I think the main reason for that, at this point, is because they don't look human.
