Naughty Tentacle Monster Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I give it a 9.4 out of a possible 10 on the wow scale. -NTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 A year ago my neighbor's little girl came over into my yard and begged for two full minutes for me to allow her to jump on our trampoline ("pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...!"). I swore then and there I would never beg anyone for anything in such a groveling, humiliating, annoying manner. Then I saw this sculpt this morning, and I realized it is very much beyond my grasp, and I knew that the only way I could communicate my wishes to obtain one was by futile pleading. So, ahem, start the clock... Please make the Sophie Trophy available for purchase! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!... Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!... Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!... Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!... Annoyed yet?! I think she looks fabulous, with a lot of free-hand space and potential for incredibly detailed highlights and... well, a lot of good, wholesome painting fun. The negative space on the inside of the wings is very striking, and the base is cool. Yeah, she's great. And, having already made a fool of myself and now trying to return to a semblance of rational behavior, I think she's quite a reward for the awesome painters at the Con to get something that just can't be had any other way. However, I agree that a slightly smaller version in pewter (bigger than 72 MM Sophie 1406, though--more like 100 mm) would be a quick sale on my part. (pleasepleaseplease...)

Reaper User Vaitalla Posted April 11, 2006 Author Reaper User Share Posted April 11, 2006 The point of getting such a fab trophy sculpted was that it *only* be available by placing in the painting competition at ReaperCon. And since the competition last year was good but not godlike, I don't want to hear any whining about never being able to win one! Weak categories last year were Warlord Unit, CAV, and Open--not many entries in those--so get painting!! Also, because this is so close to the deadline the trophies may not be able to be shipped to us in time for the Con (we're trying!!), in which case you will all have to leave your address info with me...muhahahah...and we will ship them to you wrapped lovingly in tons and tons of packing peanuts. But we *should* (negotiating now) have at least a prototype on site for the Con...I'm crossing my fingers. There, now you know everything I know! --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin'Debby Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hey Anne, Will there be a gold, silver and bronze version of her for each of the 8 (or 9) categories? If so, the odds of winning one just went up... or one per category? or is she reserved for just best in show? Inquiring minds would like to know... debby *who also wondered why people weren't all over this when she was posted yesterday - the biggest green ever* *and to answer my own question, re-read the news and says first, second or third in the announcement, mea culpa* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have to agree with Anne on this one. Winning a category should be the only way you can ever get your hands on this beauty. No smaller versions in pewter or anything like that. You can't get a GW Demon other than winning or placing in the top 3 at one of their events and if you think about it this makes a Reaper Trophy Sophie even rarer since there is only 1 Reapercon each year.

Turhan Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hmmm. Sophie is looking a little waifish. Has she developed an eating disorder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm going to be entering every category I qualify for to try to get one, but with the likes of Skya, Flynn, and Mastertickles entering its looking slimmer and slimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I love it, looks just like the artwork that I was shown last year, would love to bring one home this May!!! but in all honesty I just be happy to see it at ReaperCon can't wait!!!

Reaper User Talin Posted April 11, 2006 Reaper User Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm afraid Robot Ninja Pirates will do you no good in this situation... Hot wings, however, may be another story.

Kheprera Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ooo, a Mardi Gras Sophie shirt, perchance? Damn, now I really want a 2006 ReaperCon Sophie shirt. I might just have to buy a couple of tickets to get them. Of course, that would have to include shipping. Is there a way we can do that, ReaperPeeps, even if we're not going to be able to make the Con because we're having my son's birthday that same weekend? As for the trophy, she's great. I don't know about the face. A little anime for my tastes (I prefer the Klocke sculpts of the face), but I do like the pose and all. I, too, would like to know who the sculptor is on the trophy. How about a round of "Guess That Sculptor?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 how about letting us buy tshirts online along with the miniatures the weekend of the Con?? ;) /ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchid_Noir Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 She is sooooo beautiful that I am tempted to chain myself to my painting station until the con! As a Sophie addict I have to say that I find her almost painfully beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 *yawn* She's okay. Doesn't really get me too excited though... SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
