Thank you for the suggestion: I will see what I can do.

I thought my ship looked like the hidden son of of a TIE and a tau devilsih but now that you mentioned the stormtalon, I think it looks a bit too much like it.

I think it's mainly due to the large engines. Could you replace those with swooping wings, maybe angled downward, which have the engines integrated? That would improve the alien aspect.

Thank you for the review.

I'm not sure I will keep the heads and arms options. I might add some pouches here and there tho like on this one:

Two sets of arms is certainly a little excessive from the production point of view but two optional heads might be a nice incentive if these are sold individually. One alternative to consider when marketing these would be offering "mixmaster" versions of minis where you can pick any extra bitz that fit a given body for a higher price.

I'm a little slow on the ball this early in the year so please excuse me if this has already been answered but....are any of these on sale yet?

Nice stuff. Partial to the Majalan and the Ovolo, the C'crysh and the Tabili look useful too. The rest aren't really what I'm into in regards to aliens, tho some might easily pass for a human if provided with an enclosed helmet.

These guys are wonderful. The paint job is really great.
I can only repeat what others have asked.
Where and when can we get our hands on these miniatures?

When: Soon (meaning weeks or months since we're talking miniatures, ahah).

Where: No idea. I might have to release them.

How: Via Indiegogo, pre-order or just like old times.
