What New Minis Do You Want?

Guys the deal for Drones, Plasmas, Shuttle, Fighters, & Def Sat is in the works with Ninja Magic so we really didn't need to ask for those SVC now we want those =). And he is working on them. =)

Demonhawk has been on the list for a long time. Both Tony and John offered to do one and it will be in the next batch. (which one does it will depend on what else each one wants to do).

ISC battleship has been on the list or a long time. John S mentioned it in his most recent Email as one he'd like to do.

Ninja Magic is working on drones, fighters, shuttles, PFs, plasmas, mines, and defense satellites. My understanding is that he needs to finalize how he's going to do a special "rotating base label" stand for them before production begins.

Prime Directive character figures. Yeah, we'd have had these long ago if the sculptors doing them had done them instead of not doing them.

The Vudar are already done but probably won't go into production for a few months until we do the War & Peace module.

Andro bases will certainly be done in support for War & Peace.

Carnivons and Paravians would sell better if we did FC: ANCIENT ENEMIES at the same time.

Personally, I want to do a metal Fed destroyer (just need the engine) and a converter part to glue to an NCL to make it an LTT.

Jindarians and Peladines would sell better if we did an FC product for them, but even then I'm dubious of sales potential.

Tony is arleady doing the metal Juggernaut.

I gotta get the dragon box done, since I just have to pick dragons from the Reaper catalog.

1 - Juggernaut
2 - Plasma torpedoes

4 - VUDAR Minis. At least the Heavy Cruiser.

As previously stated, Steve has worked out a deal with Ninja Magic for the smaller, consumables - Plasma Torps, Drones, Mines, DefSATS, Shuttles...

John Schneder has already completed the the Vudar minis (DN, CA, CL, DD, FF) and Steve is ready to produce them sometime after the first of the year.

As for a smaller, casable Juggernaut:
I have a 3-inch version approximately 30 to 35% complete. It should also by in ADB's hands shortly after the first of the year...

Tony: do you want to do the Fed DD engine?

Combine with CA saucer to make DD.

Combine with CC saucer to make DDG.

Combine with CF saucer to make DDF.

Combine with GSC saucer to make SC.

Lot of leverage there. One small part makes four new ships.

Good to hear about the Peacemaker and the Andro bases - but is there a chance for the Devastator and a third size of satellite ship, also?

Souldra would be nice too.

If only there was a way to make ships carved out of jet or onyx, to sell as Crystalline Souldra vessels (and Shards)...

...oh well. One can dream.

And besides, if one is asking for Souldra, it's only fair to ask for the Loriyill, too!

All these sound good to me. I love the Fed figs. Have one of the old FF figs with the rectangular engines that I painted up to use for a FFX.

That is great news-any idea when that will be available for purchase and its probable dimensions?

Post by **Steve Cole** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 8:52 pm

Tony could tell you the size (smaller than the resin ones).

I suspect by Feb or March.

Excellent! I have always wanted to use of those Juggernaut minis(or maxis, depending on the size) in a scenario from CL#33. Thanks for the update SVC.

While talking to Steve about this at Origins, he suggested that a castable Juggernaut would need to be about 3-inches long.
This means the resin version has to be scaled to 57%, which gives you a mini that's almost exactly 2 7/8 inches long.
The lenghth can fluccuate a bit, depending on how the final assembly of the tail booms to the body works out...

But assume it'll be just under 3-inches long and you'll be very close.

Thanks for the info-that size is perfect for me and game play with my other minis. I look forward to buying that item as soon as it is available

Well, if the mini works out - then I've made at least one person happy..

OK, two... I'm looking forward to having one or two to paint, also...

Actaully, it will be three happy people. You can count my wife too as she'll be glad I'm finished with that one...
