I like them, but something bothers me. The one on the right apears to have nipples.

And you call them spawn, so one asumes they spawn, rather then breed.

It's for the tadpoles to hang onto .

Bizaza have evolved a much longer juvenile development period for their massive brains (than a very primitive frog genus) and hence are weaned by both male and female members of the species until the age of 24 if that helps you.

Nice save!

I do have a weakness for mesoamerican frog people, and these are jolly good examples.

So, what is the very mammalian looking belly-button for?

Is it for keeping the salt in whilst eating chips (UK style) in bed?

Edit: Forgot to say - great sculpts by-the-way

Tempting. I may have to check my finances closer to the start date.

Belly piercings I guess.

The Bizaza have a mamalian style life cycle where the young take a long time to develop their big brains. "Strong Spawn" is a human nomenclature rooted in species ignorance

Those look great! You should try and get a comparison pic with the diehard eru-kin

Wish I had some of those guys to check. I suspect they will not look out of place shoulder to shoulder.

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm going to be the bad guy and say I don't really like them. The execution is pretty good - the surfaces and details are cleanly sculpted and finely worked (both you and your wife have talent); but I think the design leans too much on decades-old Grandma Wendy minis, instead of doing it's own thing, or going back to the roots, or whatever, to any big or small degree. As a result, to be honest, I think the biggest resemblance these have to frogs is the colour of the putty.

"the design leans too much on decades-old Grandma Wendy minis"

for those with existing collections of Grandma Wendy's frog people this is very much a selling point.

Oh and Otto, do any of your spawn happen to be unarmoured and using blow pipes?

Will that be what they say for frog-people minis in another thirty years' time?

I'm pretty sure there are enough old collections and nostalgia about to make this KS successful. I just wouldn't mind if more of that success was for other reasons, too.
