[KS] Frazetta Miniatures (including the Deathdealer!)

[Cherno]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/killboxgames/frazetta-miniatures

Killbox Games is excited to partner with the Frazetta Jr. Enterprises LLC. to celebrate the legacy of Frank Frazetta with three core vignette Resin miniatures that bring Frank's iconic work to life in high detailed, hand sculpted miniatures. Officially licensed from Frazetta Jr. Enterprises LLC. Our shared goal with Frazetta Jr. Enterprises LLC. is to celebrate Frank Frazetta's work and honor his legacy through our miniatures

25 CA$ for the Deathdealer, which is probably the one that's most interesting to the folks around here...

Love it. Great looking sculpt.

But....no mention of shipping. I'm guessing the cost of Canada/US to UK will kill any interest.

 Bronze Age miniatures do a range of Frazetta miniatures too.

 Nice to see more pieces being done of Franks work.

Well, they do have a good number of "XYZ Country - friendly shipping" labels on their KS page.

Shipping costs will be collected through the backerkit when the miniatures are ready to ship. Shipping will be from the US manufacturer for North America and we will be working with shipping partners around the world in an effort to ease additional duties, VAT, import fees and taxes for anyone outside of North America.

Brilliant, will go for the portrait collection. Long time Frazetta-fan over here. Thanks for sharing!

To be honest, whilst some say it's good, I can't help but feel sorry for the folk that pay for the license only to see it sold multiple times due to the ongoing issues with Frazetta's estate.

Good for punters I suppose, but I feel for Bronze Age who have decent miniatures already out there.

Agree with this. I get that there are 2 different sides of the family, with rights to separate pieces (apparently the mounted Death Dealer is shared) but Bronze Age Miniatures already had a license to produce miniatures for the museum, and now this? I can't think of anyone who captures the Frazetta spirit in miniature better (no offense to Mr. Van Shaik who is enormously talented as well) than David Soderquist.

 It is weird how two licenses have been given to produce pieces from the same artist.I too agree that David captures to look and feel of the work wonderfully.

I wasn't to keen about Bronce Age, as the sculpting is rather basic and the price for those miniatures is to high.

That kickstarter looks promissing, but shipping is definitely an issue. Even if it is "EU-friendly", shipping within the EU is still a problem and makes several products rather unattractive.

I also think its bigger than 35mm.

I wish companies would be more honest about size/scale. I feel this tends to apply more to new start ups than established companies.
