Ratnik Steampunk figures
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:23:40 PM »
I know Miniaturicum is supposed to be getting the lovely steampunk figures produced by Ratnik for sale in the EU sometime in the future, but if anyone would like to torture themselves by gazing on pictures of what I think is the full range previewed so far, I have posted them all on a seperate page on my blog.

http://extraordinarygentlemensjournal.blogspot.com/p/ratnik-steampunk-miniatures-pictures.html

I've collected together the pictures from here and on Frothers.
If anyone knows of any I've missed, let me know, and Ill add them.


I believe Bungle from Frothers is planning on supplying the other ranges from Ratnik to the UK,
including modern, fantasy and treasure island types.
(Oh, and I've no connection to Ratnik or any of the proposed distributors, I just like the figures.)

Shhhhh... so do I  ;)

Metal figure production costs a disproportionately high amount for Ratnik compared to resin....its the other way around in the UK.

So the plan is to make the figures available in metal. I think Miniaturicum will have the full ranges available first in resin (quite soon too) but if you would prefer metal the plan is for the ranges to become available in time..... cast under liscence in the UK.

We will see how it goes....

My apologies Bungle, I had no idea you planned to have the Steampunk figures in metal available from the UK.
Didn't intend to tread on anyones toes, just keen to see the Ratnik figures available.
I'll amend my blog page with the full details.
Chuffed you'll be supplying them in metal,  :D

I haven't posted about it on here because I did not want to tread on Miniaturicums toes.

I would welcome a chat with him.

BTW

add these







US distributor....it depends on how the money works out and what Igor wants. But wait and see what P&P is from the UK or Germany.

I'm looking forward to seeing these released but I'm thinking they're not going to be cheap.

Yeah, they have that 'high-end' look about them. I hope they don't price me out of the market.

I spend no more than 2 or 3 pounds on character figs and 1 or 2 pounds on regulars....

I hope the casts come out nice.  The sculpts are simply excellent.
