Looks good! I remember seeing those Denizen lines and thinking theyd be great to have. It’s nice to see this.

Thanks for posting these. I was wondering for the new figures size up.  I have and still use the original 26mm'ish Ventauran and Khiff figures as they look great and I've no problem with Aliens being smaller than 28mm humans.

Still, I'm very glad to see both scales in production and hope many folks discover them.

Very nice. Ventaurans were some of the first Denizen sci-fi mini's I bought so I may have to pick a few up. Proper battledress armour, unlike some of the skin tight 'armour' suits that don't look like they'll keep out anything heavier than harsh language!  lol

Thanks for sharing these, they look they fit in nicely with the SG minis and I wouldn't have guessed they'd been scaled up at all.

I'm assuming that the originals were 25mm so were a bit smaller? If so I'd speculate that leaving them at that scale would have separated them from the look of humans in space suits?

That said, I think the refresh has been a good one and they really are a great fit for the modern table... they were always good miniatures but probably have more appeal now that they are a little larger :) .

As you say, the Denizen fantasy and sci-fi figures have been around for quite a long while and, while the look of the figures is still fairly contemporary, figure sizes have marched on and upwards, away from the Denizen classic 25.
The rescale does give them a more modern height and the figures are still a good looking range for most generic games. As an aside, I noticed recently that someone rescaled the classic 25 'Spacefarers' figures to a modern height - very nostalgic towards those, some of the first sci-fi minis I ever owned (Denizen were the 2nd range of sci-fi figures I bought from).
