Crooked Dice: The Guru - New Green
« on: April 29, 2011, 04:52:02 PM »
Our June release is the Guru, a secretive villainous mastermind sculpted by Ian Mountain.

This 28mm miniature is provided with a choice of three heads: Mastermind, Evil Doctor and Minging Megalomanic - all for £4.50.

This head sprue is also available separately to enable you to make clones of your evil boss for £1.50. Released in early June.

I think that I can adjudicate about which head to use.  I can just hear those sonorous tones, "I am the Guru.  I am the Guru, and you will follow me."
Back from the dead, almost.

Masterfully put... A new Frontier in miniatures perhaps?

It just struck me that the hand is ideally positioned to be holding up one of the spare heads, Hamlet and Yorick style.

Stick a butane lighter nozzle in the hand behind his back, use the first head, and have him holding a 10mm figure in the other hand...

The Ming head is great.  The Blofeld head on that body seems incongruous-- but with a few mods to the uniform, it would work.

Steve - Or a globe? Intentionally left open to add whatever you like.

Froggy - LOL. A No-Prize to that man :)

Cosmo - I know what you mean, but we wanted to try and get heads that would cover a range of genre's. As you say, only a little modification needed :)

Cheers all!

Splendid green. Can't wait to slap some paint on it once it's available.  :)
