Resistance Recon Team and TV News Crew Available Now

In the rush to get the latest releases on sale (and to get outside to enjoy the sun!) I neglected to update the blog. There really was a lot to do - checking and bagging all the stock that arrived that morning amongst other mundane things - and it really was very, very sunny... Anyway, on to the new releases!

First up of the new releases are Tallulah Caine and her trusty cameraman Carter. These figures are something of an update of the news TV news team I sculpted for the Frothers Unite sculpting competition in 2009. They were only available briefly in the winners set and since then I've been asked a number of times what happened to them, so I thought I better finally sculpt some replacements!

Tallulah Caine and Carter are priced at £8.00 for the set and as usual there are discounts for multiple purchases. Head over to the shop to pick up your news team!

Next is the release of the Resistance Recon Team. As will all figures in the Resistance Fighter range, these figures feature separate heads allowing you to use any head from the range. Additionally, the accessories they hold in their left hands - a pair of binoculars and a radio handset - can be used on either figure. To top it all off, the weapon arms are also interchangeable and fully compatible with the Cell Officer Weapons Sprue and the Resistance Cell Officers!

The Resistance Recon Team is priced at £9. Purchase two sets for £8 each and three or more sets for only £7 each! In addition each purchase of the Resistance Recon Team placed up to and including the 31st of July will receive a FREE Cell Officer Weapons Sprue!

Prior to the new release, I changed the shop product page so customers can  now choose between 30mm, round-lipped, plastic bases and 25mm, chamfered edge, plastic bases. The choice can be made using a drop down menu under the Add to Cart button, as shown below. I've noticed nobody is actually choosing the 25mm bases so I wandered if the change had been noticed. It's no problem if everybody wants 30mm bases, but I'd just expected more people to choose the smaller base!

Finally, of the five figures that are to be discontinued once current stock has sold, Kitzie Rama is now out of production. Additionally, stock of Inigo Wilde is low and stock of Havana Gray is very low. Head over to the shop to grab them while you can!

That's it for this month, I think. Remember to keep an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter account for the latest news from the Statuesque Asylum!

Tallulah Caine, ace TV New reporter

“This is Tallulah Caine reporting for KPTV News, from the Occupied Zones.”

Ace TV news reporter Tallulah Caine and her trusty cameraman Carter have been in the Occupied Zones for many months, bringing stories from all sides of the struggle straight into homes around the world. She has reported on vicious fighting, the horrendous conditions for those living in the Occupied Zones and the political machinations of the parties involved. Now, however, she believes she has the scoop that will change her career – and possibly the world - forever...

Coming soon from Statuesque Miniatures! More photos on the Facebook page.

Resistance Cell Special Offer is back!

In lieu of a new release (I dropped a printed part...), I've decided to run the Resistance Cell Special Offer again for a limited time. £26 for the Cell Officers and two packs of Resistance Fighters, saving over 10%, even more if you purchase multiple cells!

The offer runs until the 27th of May or while stocks last.

Faceless Oppressor Troopers Preview

Hi,

With the latest batch of figures sent to the printers earlier this week, I have been able to get back to work on the Faceless Oppressor range. I have now finished the basic trooper pack, though in a change from the original plan, this pack now contains four figures rather than three. With the two NCO figures, this means six unique poses even before the Heavy Weapon troops are included.

Each figure features a separate, poseable head and separate rifles which can be swapped with the weapons from the Special Weapon sprue - a flame thrower, grenade launcher, squad automatic weapon and an energy weapon. The renders show the figures on 25mm bases.

Next I will be finishing the NCO pack of two figures. They are already posed and nearing completion. Each figure will have a separate head as with the troopers and two separate arms. The arms will be able to be used on both figures allowing plenty of variety. I also plan to make a sprue of NCO weapons, such as laser pistols, energy pistols and possibly some close-combat weapons. Any ideas as to what to include would be much appreciated!

The original plan was to release the Troopers, NCOs and Heavy Weapon Teams at the same time. However, I think I will likely release the Troopers and NCOs first, giving me time to perfect the Heavy Weapon teams. It will be less of an outlay for me (and also for the customers!) but I intend to get the Heavy Weapon teams released as soon as possible after the initial launch.

The launch is still a few months away, with plenty of Resistance Fighter goodness still to come before then, but I'm really pleased to have completed this first stage of the preparation!

Cheers,

Andrew Rae

For those of you who, like me, won't be at Salute, we are offering FREE Postage and Packaging on all orders of £50 or more! This offer runs until Sunday night so head over to the Statuesque Miniatures store now to grab some girls.

Today also saw the first Statuesque Miniatures Newsletter. If you hadn't signed up to get it, you can view the Newsletter HERE (there may be a couple of sneak peeks in there...). Don't forget to sign up so you won't miss the next one!

Are you going to Salute?

Unfortunately I won't be going myself, but Fenris Games will be stocking the entire Statuesque Miniatures range at Salute!

As I'm sure you know, Fenris is a great company specialising in quality resin bases and scenery as well as their own miniature range. In addition to their extensive range and the Statuesque Miniatures girls (and Inigo...), they will also be stocking Bronze Age Miniatures. All the more reason to head along to Stand TB02 on the 20th of April to check it all out!

Eva of the Resistance on sale now!

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce the release of Eva of the Resistance, a hero of the struggle against oppression armed with a deadly RPG launcher! Measuring approximately 32mm unposed, Eva joins our Resistance Fighter range, all featuring interchangeable heads for more variety.

Please note, due to changes in the Royal Mail pricing structure coming on the 2nd of April, I will have to alter our Postage and Packaging prices to coincide with this. I've yet to decide on the future P&P policy but if you want to take advantage of our current flat-rate postage of £2.50 to the UK, £3.00 to Europe and £3.50 to the rest of the world, now is the time to order!

Finally, the Statuesque MiniaturesFacebook page recently passed 500 Likes! While 1000 Likes might seem like a long way off, at the current rate we should reach that target soon, triggering the Statuesque Miniatures Social Media ExtravaganzaPrize Draw! Regardless, the Statuesque Miniatures Facebook page, along with the Statuesque Miniatures Twitter account and the Khorosho Productions blog, is a great way to get the latest news and information on what's happening in Statuesque Towers.
