Maga Miniatures Limited Time Offer!
« on: December 19, 2012, 10:20:15 PM »
I saw that Mega Miniatures is having a limited time offer on a few Demonblade models, these 5 will only be on offer in December and then become discontinued.

I think they are kind of interesting and thought that maybe others of this forum might want to know:

I could see a use for the one in the middle; the others, not so much. Looks too crude for my taste.

But I am happy to see that they keep relaunching these minis!

I really like the two hooded guys, but I have no idea what to use them for right now  ;D

I cringe at the hooded ones. In the US pointy hood-hats isn't about cultists and executioners and weird papal crowd guys from the Spanish Inquisition.

Here it pretty much makes the viewer think "Klu Klux Klan" whatever was actually intended.  And while I've made some pretty sick and repulsive war bands and armies but I really don't want anything to do with a KKK army. Even in a game.

Ick.

I don't known where Megaminis was but I sort of wonder if the owner isn't discontinuing them because they feel the same visceral distaste looking at them.

And yeah I know that most modern KKK types tend to be more skin-headish and that they've never been more isolated and out of favor that they are now and that their heyday is long past.

But ick. I just don't like looking at them.

as long as the pointy hood isn't white or red, most Americans see no resemblance.
These figures aren't for me, all the same.

I didn't really think of the KKK reference before it was mentioned. I don't really see it as a problem, they are not even nearly as clanlike as loads of the pulp cultists out there.

Right now I am wearing a t-shirt that says Skinhead Reggae and has a huge graphic of the trojan records label in jamacian flag colours. Not exactly hitlers first choice out of the T-Shirt draw yeah.
Lots of my friends are into the skin and mod seen. But most folks automatically, think that they are white supremacist.
I get questions all the time when I post up that I am going to the Skinhead Reggae shows in Vegas. Who are DJed by my buddy who is Hispanic and Jewish. Not the KKks target audience.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Agreed, leave the politics out of the dance hall.
