Mantic "corporation" plastic minis

[Torben]

I personally still like them and I'm looking forward to purchasing some and convert them as radically as possible

Corporation big force boxes are now out for preorder:

The leg/torso ratio seems really, really weird on some of the pictured figures, that's for sure.

Wow...those comparison shots don't do Mantic any favors.  I hope the vehicles they come out with for the Corporation are useable though.

For only 3 more pounds you get the same amount of the far superior Pig Iron ones, that's cheap for the difference in quality.

Those are the marines right? in pictures with both the normal troops and the marines they even look all slinky like.

They're more Stormtroopers than Marines. I think the Rangers have the same bodies/legs as the normal troops but have new heads/arms/gun/shoulderpads.

Those comparison pics killed any chance of me buying them. I didn't like the normal guys are I really disliked the shoulder pads and some of the other armour details. The rangers looked better but looking at those shots the proportions are awful. Their elbows are below their waist!

[anevilgiraffe]

upper arms are too long on those rangers... I prefered the marines to them anyway...

[manatic]

Christ, those are some horrible, horrible minis.

[Sangennaru]

c'mon, not THAT orrible. you just need to see them painted. white plastic is the worse material to show details!

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

I think a sci fi trooper who was based on modern troops covered in pouches and webbing and other cool stuff with meaningful hi tech add ons like filter/gas masks, sealed suits etc would be solid seller and a sci fi trooper that no one could say was a GW rip off. 

Cannot think of any minis that fit that bill already.

im very pleased with the Aberrant Games Rezolution CSO Troopers.theyre not cheap and they arent plastic but worth a Look in my Opinion  :-XVery near Future meets Cadians me thinks...

Comparsion with Empress modern Delta Force



for Heavy infantry id go with VOR Power Armour Troopers: Union on the Left,Neo Soviet on the right Side

Of the various assembled Mantic figures pictured, only one - the one that is painted in some photos, unpainted in others - looks out of proportion to me.  The others look OK - certainly better than the GW Cadians pictured.

Long arms, short legs. Nothing really new as these scifi minis go but I'll give them a pass all the same. Not better than this:
