Nanite Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Honestly it's like a punch in the nuts: Even the blurb in the mongoose catalouge seems to know that they're lousy. $29.99 a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vejlin Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 How spoiled we are with the quality and prices of reaper minis. Atleast they look like they're really fast to paint since there's almost no detail on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastman Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Maybe those are the result of a speed sculpting contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanite Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Is the bald guy picking his nose? Sometimes, when he's nervous, he likes to put his fingers under his armpits, then smell 'em. Rant mode acticated: Babyon 5 was something special, it deserves special merchandise. Over the years though, the B5 tie-0ins were mostly crappy. The comics? The novels? Fairly poor. Sure I loved the CCG to death, but by the time it imploded, I think it may have had more cards released then the entire run of either Deciphers Star Trek, or Star Wars. B5 Miniatures used to be the shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. AOG made some great products, and it's a pity Mongoose is having troubles carrying on that legacy.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Those are actually painful to look at. It's a shame, never watched the show religiuosly, but it deserves better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 They look like something Grenadier would have put out around 1982 or so. If anyone wants to buy the entire series of B5 on VHS let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skya Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 If anyone wants to buy the entire series of B5 on VHS let me know. Mmmmmmm... tempting. Do I want to know how much space they take up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Man. Those miniatures are more dreadful than any miniature I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted May 17, 2006 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2006 I've got a pair of very early Reapers (Frank, and Frank's Bride) that are worse than these, by the way. Granted, that's not really saying a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, that's not really saying a whole lot. I have some MiniFig Boers lurking around... But yeah - ugh, the B5 minis are bad. They remind me of those old Leading Edge Colonial Marines (from Aliens), except those were a little less static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decado Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Those are pretty sad looking. It does not give me much hope of them doing decent Conan minis. Decado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted May 17, 2006 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2006 Anyone notice that a lot of the minis look like exactly the same blonde Romulan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
