Crooked Dice: Release 2 - NOW SHIPPING
« on: 27 June 2010, 10:50:54 PM »
Three of the four Release "Season" 2 pre-orders are up on the Store page - http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/minis.html

They are:

B01 Daisy Taylor £4
B03 Robo-rodent 'classic' £1.25
B04 Robo-rodent 'new' £1.25
DEAL02 - Robo-rodent swarm (10 of them) £10



The sculpts are being mastered now before being sent for production casting, expected shipping somewhere around mid August. We are looking at releasing pairs of miniatures on a slightly more frequent basis, we will keep you updated once we thrash out the technical details.

All orders received during Crooked Dice North's holiday will be ready for posting tomorrow so if anyone spots any flaws in the new Store stuff please drop us an email.

PS - Pandorica Opens/Big Bang PDF up on the site tomorrow (28th June).

Feeling clueless here... when did the "new" robo-rodents first appear?

I just placed an order for a pre-order miniature and your website refunded my payment via paypal.

What is going on?

Thanks for the orders.

Store problem being looked at as we speak - apologies.

The new Rodents have only appeared in the fevered recesses of our Crooked minds, although you may be interested in this site:

@Ben - Glad you like. Yep those are resins from Grey Matter. Using Transitionals for production mastering. A bit dearer for us, but cracking quality. Recommended.

Very nice, Have you thought about doing collectors sets in resin? For a premium price of course :D.
Will have to pick these up soon

I know that lots of people don't like resin, but it does capture the detail beautifully. and if you do a deal with geronimo a set could inclue a police box  ;).
Anyway great figures and I hope they sell as well as they should  :)

Bless those lovely guys at Grey Matter. They have been perservering with mastering the Rodent and have managed to get the antenna back on the Classic Rat!



Masters should be off to Griffin tomorrow! Huzzah!

The Alien Minion green is also finished and will be with me shortly, so expect some pics soon.

Daisy is fantastic! I was worried your use of other sculptors might lead to a loss in quality after the first pair, but she is spot-on. If all your figures match the first two releases, you are onto a winner, no doubt   ;D

Sadly the character she bears a resemblance to has never been a favourite of mine, but I need a companion for my northern Doctor, so I'll certainly get one at some stage.

Any plans for doing a not-Mickey. Preferably with a choice of weaponless arms or holding a bloody big Pepperpot destroying gun  ;)

Thanks for all the pre-orders!

Griffin are casting in the next week - so as soon as we have lead we'll get them out to you.

We have now lead for Release Two in our Crooked paws - so many thanks to all those who pre-ordered.

All orders are going out over the next couple of days so expect Daisy and the Rodents to arrive on a doormat near you very soon.

And for those of you who haven't ordered yet - get cracking!
