Crooked Dice: Minions Preview

[uti long smile]

Crooked Dice's last release of 2010 are two Minions. These are generic troops to populate your spaceship corridors and secret bases. To try and give as much flexibility as possible there are two headless bodies, one unarmed (6a) and one armed (6b) (sculpted by Mark Evans) and a range of different heads.

There are two head sprues each containing either three human or three alien heads - all compatible with the previous astronauts. Sprue 6c has three human heads include a Peaceful Space Explorer, Grizzled Survivor and Hard-hatted Goon. Sprue 6d includes three alien heads - a Hog-Hybrid, a Squid-Servitor and an Emotionless Mannequin.
 


Pricing and deals released shortly, but we are aiming for a December release.

If you'd like to see the heads configuration on the different bodies and some more pictures, then pop over to the Crooked Dice forum:

Oh these are useful!  heads are ok, not sure about the ompha lompha head maybe i can find a fat little dwarf body to put that on   But I'd get some

Ha! Oompa Loompa was NOT intentional  - but I can see a new line developing!

very nice,i like the Alien Heads! 

[Heldrak]

Excellent multi-use figures with a thousand applications- Well done! One hopes there are more bodies and heads planned to expand the range even further.

Absolutely. A Robo-Minion is on the cards for next year, plus more heads.

sadly it's spot on for what they intended... bloody Thals - bunch of poofs...

Woohoo!

In slightlyless exciteable tones, is there any chance of conversion kits in the future? (eg, different sets of arms?)

[uti long smile]

Cheers We did consider separate arms - but it started to get a bit expensive to cast.

You got me at the Ompa Lompas...

Having had a small role to play in the creation of the figures, I'm just chuffed to see these made flesh, but an amazing job has been done of these. Love them!

They also look like they could fit in with Copplestone's hard-hatted minions from KKBB!
