Crossover's first minions!
« on: 11 July 2012, 06:23:37 PM »
I just shipped my rewards to all the kickstarter backers, which means work is full steam ahead on getting the store up and running by the middle of next week (maybe sooner).

I'm spending the day with the camera to get some nice pics, and I just wanted to show some of Soapy's AWESOME work as I can hardly contain myself.







I painted my first one last night and I swear I actually school girl giggled once while painting!

These are great. As a minor niggle for me, I would have preferred to see head variants on the third set to stop them looking like automatons but as I say, very minor.

Never thought I would say this but I may just be doing a supers project before too long.

They are superb! :o

Are the heads separate? I can see them working for modern spy-fi games, as well as supers.

And like Svennn, I may have an unplanned supers project in my future!

Great work from Soapy!!

@Earther,

yes, the heads are indeed seperate, my understanding is that backers get all three heads, otherwise custimers get a choice when ordering,

Great work from Soapy!!

That's part of the Crossover!  They are first and foremost inspired by comics and super stereo types, but they cross the line into other genre easily.  Great guards for that warehouse that looks dubious, or great for a police/federal presence.  I can't wait to see what folks come up with!

Hearing folks talk about future unplanned super projects can only make Soapy and I smile!

Supers will come with all three heads (logistically it would have been a nightmare for me.  I am still deciding weather the minions will or not.  Maybe to keep the price down for customers, I might let the punters choose a head.  One of the last decisions to make before the store opens.

These are fantastic.  I want them badly.  Especially the masked versions.

Wow, those are great sculpts.  I don't play a superhero game, but like mentioned, these could fit many themes.  I really like the weaponry.

Nice stuff I could use some of these.
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.
