…When I designed them I saw them as sort of a “pulpy” offshoot.  And while I think trench raiders necessarily need to be wearing pants, do you all think I should keep all future releases in skirts?...
Pulpy is good.
I like pulp, just not in my orange juice.
Yes, keep to skirts, even in pickelhaubs or trench raiding.

…These minis are intended to appeal to “army” builders.  I just don’t think they’d have sufficient appeal to single-mini buyers…
I’m a skirmish/RPG gamer who buys mainly single minis and these appeal to me.
Though I will use them in onesess and twoseess to hunt dinos or eldrich monsters with.

…the Pickelhaube might be a good hat-choice for zeppelin troops.  What do you think?...
Definitely!

Also, please excuse my ignorance, but what is the wooden thing that good princess is holding behind her back?
...
Next up is Princess Cecilie:

I really do love these and will use them to tempt my daughters into mini gaming!
Thanks
Amalric

If I recall, it was supposed to be a riding crop, but somewhere along the line it turned into something more like a swagger stick.

And, indeed, the character releases are supposed to appeal to single-mini buyers and painters, which is what I consider myself.  However, I don't think single-mini buyers would be purchasing enough minis to justify the selling of them.

Swagger sticks are cool.

Fair enough.

Probably just this group, although, as I said, there may be more Pickelhaube, skirted troops in the future.  But I'm always willing to consider new plans.   ;)

Holy Macaroni!

The mounted Princess Viktoria-Luise is fantastic!  What a wonderful figure!

Also really like Princess Cecilie. 



Have to agree stunning figures, will definitely pick these two up ;D

Not so sure if a metal spiked helmet is such a good idea in a delicate balloon :D

Good point, but if I'd felt constrained by reality, these minis wouldn't exist at all.    ;D
