Defiance Games USMC Marines!

Still no pictures, just words (on Facebook).

As of 7 minutes ago:

Having fun assembling some plastic Marines right now! The one head I was concerned about (with the Marine cap) has become my favorite of the bunch (although the full face mask helmet is pretty deadly looking!) I'm working to put together a full 12 man squad and then take some pics tomorrow in the light. As soon as I get some decent pics I'll post them up.

So...tomorrow we'll get pictures.

So are you suggesting that these Marines are modelled on Flavor Flav? I don't see it myself, needs chunkier bling, timepieces in particular. Chuck D, well maybe I could buy that.

Not to mention you'd need several figs doing a stance or pointing towards people in the public they'd like to see removed.

Not evil, just silly. Who doesn't like options? Back when I played 40K they provided one with a lot of great "bits" that were useful. They didn't give you a lot of useless extra arms, heads and legs. That's a major difference you are missing here. Holsters, guns, kit -- all fabulous.
But in your DG UMC box if 24 marines you will have leftover:

*12 extra pairs of legs!
*36 extra "weapon arms" (at least you can cut off the weapons).
*24 extra left arms!
*48 spare heads!
*Probably no spare pouches or backpacks!

Mostly useless and hardly "free". Not a lot of great "bits box" material there.
A single backpack versus an entire model. It's not a difficult choice, really.

of course, I'm sure he's just a hater...

I'm by no means a fan of Defiance Games, Tony, and company, but the leftover bits selection onlined doesn't sound bad to me at all. In fact, it makes me far more likely that I will pick up a box.

*I've loads of extra torsos lying about that could use some extra legs (legs are always more expensive than torsos in the ebay bitz stores anyway)

*I've a ton of Warzone Imperial plastics sans arms that I used for other projects. The idea of cutting off their upper arms/shoulder plates and replacing them with these extra arms and popping different heads on them could give me a nicely sized force of irregular planetary militia type troops.

*extra bases are always wecomed

All in all, this development, nonsensical as it is for the product itself, would be quite a boon for my evil plans for (miniature) world domination. 

All that being said, if they ever actually do make it in to production, I will proabably keel over from the shock before I could do anything about it.

Not great weather for priming - getting that nasty beady-ness going on. Will try again

No close ups yet?

[Pil]

Of course not, and these have been primed to "show the detail" 

Also, look at those dynamic legs!

[anevilgiraffe]

that photo is ridiculous... that is seriously the best he could manage to show off all that great detail? anyone get the feeling he's avoiding something?

No close ups yet?

No but an offical press release from Tony:
