Crooked Dice: New Armed Minions - NOW IN STORE
« on: 06 July 2012, 05:30:58 PM »
Later this month we'll be bringing you the first of our Armed Minions.

We felt that after three years, the two original minions might need some reinforcements. So Mark Evans has started off with four riflemen and four with SMGs.

We've kept them simple to use for a variety of purposes. Modelled with a belt, holster and a couple simple pockets and a badge on the arm. You can always trim that off if not required.

Mark admits his Camera-Fu was not at it's best, but I will post some pics of the masters when they arrive. Don't get confused by this first pic, Mark's just showing them with heads on. He's already converted one of the heads in the rifleman set with a nice 70s perm and 'tache!





They are provided headless but come with a head on the tab as shown in picture two. Use that or any of our other heads depending on what you need. Here's a close up of the basic four heads in anyone one set of four.



Price and release date to follow.

Oh, yes, those should come in very handy.  I particularly like the heads - but when you redo the photos, might I suggest keeping them in the same order from shot to shot?
Back from the dead, almost.

Oh Cool, grease guns  :-*
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Excellent figures and though it's not my thing the figures on your site are wonderful - youve got the look of several tv show spot on and the cover of the rules is a work of art.

Well done sir!

Okay thanks. With regards to both places i have some good (and in the case of Dundee rather romantic) memories. I'll check out the website and see what else you have got. Cheers.

Cheers all! We've some more planned for later this year: 4 Handweapons (batons and pistols) and a Support pack (Radio Operator, Bazooka, Grenadier and a Dog Handler - plus the dog!).

Is there a chance you could also make a pack of heads wearing construction helmets

Any chance of adding a machine gun type weapon to that list?
