Four new ones, two of which are vehicles..

Hard to tell the scale on those vehicles though.

The figs are cool. But the vehicals are a bit pricy at 60 bucks each. Oh well, not like i'd buy the vehicals anyways.

I just wish SuperFigs quality was higher... <sigh>

(I'm spoiled by Reaper's quality.) :)

Look relatively sharp, have a kind of retro look that I like, especially those like Gunfighter4/the Hunter. Very nice, thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Wow. Those minis are really crude. Remind me of GW circa 1980s. Sigh.

I *think* the superfigs are sculpted by Bob Naismith, who also sculpted for GW circa the eighties...

Reaper has certainly set the bar high.
Of course I think that the coolest miniatures are the Confrontation minis. But superfigs are (practically) the only game in town with reaper only putting out 4 superhero figs so far (which are awesome btw. Sandra Garrity has real talent)

I hear he can crank out a green like you wouldn't believe...

In fairness to Superfigs, they are well-posed and paint up nicely.

The Rackham stuff is great; very big though... also whoever paints them is probably (IMHO) the best painter(s?) in the industry... they also shoot the photos so the mini only shows 'its best side' (of course, right?) and some are kind of 2-D... and I'll stop totally nit-picking now... yeah, they are tre' good.

There is nothing more frustrating than getting those bad boys home and making them look only half as good as the picutres!
