Wargame Factory WSS plastics - coming soon

[carlos marighela]

What intrigues me is how badly the bits seem to fit in quite a few of these multipose plastics. Arms that look like they've been sewn on in Frankenstein's laboratory (probably why their zombies seem to have had the most appeal) and weird anatomy in general. Are they using a prop forward, whose shoulder has been permanently dislocated after a long and bruising career as their muse?

It can't be that arcane a science, Perry and Victrix seem to carry it off and I can recall Airfix and Tamiya offerings from the 'seventies that managed it, albeit in bigger scales. Even Fujimi (or was it Hasegawa?) made a reasonable fist of it in 1/72 around the same time. I really don't get why people seem to criticise HaT, the detail seem no worse than WF, the proportions look vastly better and the more or less one piece approach seems more economic and better executed. I recently saw a table in a local retailer groaning under the weight of overstocked WF figures, whose prices had been drastically slashed. Not even the thrifty, maybe i'll find some use for these, straight to the parts box side of me found the offer appealing.

A pity, cheap figures for this period would have have considerable appeal for me but these really don't seem to do it.

I'm crossing my fingers that they won't screw up the nude skeletons they're doing. They would come in handy for terrain and the like.

Sprue pictures.
And I still like them for their conversion potential (and a bit of jolly, cheap opposition for pirate games or such niceties, maybe).

On a sidenote, no open hands this time, methinks.

I really think the main attraction of all these plastics coming out is the potential to do some bloody and gory scenery. And casualty markers!

Well, they're better than the Zulus, I'll give them that.

The above was not a compliment. WGF are still a long way off from producing anything I'd consider buying...
