BAD NEWS UPDATE

 

legal evils (from WOTC?) have got 8 figures removed from the KS, replacement named (art to follow when Loraine is free)

 

Greetings to all our great backers.

For reasons beyond our control, we've been asked to replace the following artwork on our KickStarter meaning these images will not be produced or available.

TYPE I: Cultist, Sahuagin, Bullywog, Death Knight

TYPE II: Shambling Mound, Marilith, Owlbear, Hooked Beast

We will be replacing these pieces of artwork with 8 new pieces of artwork as follows:

TYPE I: Avatar of Shub, Lizardman, Beastman, Fafnir Warrior

TYPE II: Troll, Scorpion Queen, Minotaur, Pit Lord

We have discussed the full range during this last 10 days and have confirmation that the rest of the range has no further objections.

While disappointed that we cannot include these models, we believe that the substitute models we have picked based on comments from backers during the KickStarter will give you a complete and exciting line of miniatures. Our 3-D sculptor already informed us that he was much happier with these 8 new figures than the ones that they were replacing so we hope you feel the same. Lorraine is booked through mid-December but as soon as she is free we will get new art from her for the 8 replacement figures and post them in our Thursday updates as they are completed. This will not delay the project as we have already contacted all our sculptors and moved these figures to January and February so that there is no delay to the current planned production schedule.

If for any reason the replacement of these 8 figures causes your pledge amount to be higher than you would have made while the KickStarter was running, please contact us via private message and we will definitely work with you to insure your overall satisfaction.

Thank you for your loyal support of Impact! Miniatures and we look forward to moving on and releasing a very successful line of “Chibi Dungeon Adventurers” next year due to your backing.

Tom and Chris @ Impact!

Doh.. wish I'd known about this before it ended..

[Corporea]

sigh. not unexpected, but definitely irritating. Oh well. Regardless, the eyes will be easy to paint! I can always get extra ponies.

Drat. Anyone know of cute frog-person minis? My sister's nickname is toad-frog...

[Wren]

Dark Sword has a pretty varied line of frog person miniatures. Scroll down past the human figures (about half-way down the page), and you'll get to a section with a lot of different frogs, and some other critters, too.

Darksword miniatures makes a whole bunch. Here's one fit for a princess.

EDIT: Darn. Wren leapfrogged me.

@Darsc: Okay, the leapfrogged crack got me

Eureka miniatures ( http://www.eurekamin.com.au/ ) have some frog soldiers.

Greebo ( http://www.greebo.it ) have a team of fantasy football frogs.

 

I'd give links directly to the minis, but I can't get to those sites from work.

[Argentee]

Thanks Wren! I've bookmarked it to do an order next summer, and paint up one for my sis. The froggy queen I think.

[Pingo]

Huh. I did worry they were a little too blatant in their borrowed imagery.

 

Yow. That update's only from today and it has almost 100 comments already.

 

I'm almost afraid to read them.

The only one I'm really annoyed by is the Death Knight. Lord Soth was one of the characters that drew me into D&D in general, and DragonLance in particular. The chibi would have been fun to have, along with the D&D mini version I already own. Oh well, I'm not reducing my pledge; I simply have other selections to make, now. Bring on the images of the new ideas!

The only thing surprising is that WOTC beat GW and Disney.

I stand by my earlier statement from the Demons & Devils thread of being pretty much done with WotC.

 

The company that I respected and supported is no longer around - just some foul doppleganger masquerading as that company.

 

These figures were clearly under the Parody portion of Fair Use (look it up).

 

At this point, even if I like 5e it will remain on the store shelves, as far as I am concerned.

 

But, to be honest, what I have seen of 5e has not filled me with the warm fuzzies, the odds were against me buying the game anyway..

Remember, Wizards of the Coast has not been Wizards of the Coast for years. Since 1999 they have been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hasbro.

 

It is not surprising that a giant soulless corporation is using the tactics of giant soulless corporations.

 

I sort of wish people would stop calling them WoTC. It's like calling WoTC "TSR" back after it swallowed TSR.

 

It's Hasbro.
