Aard_Rinn Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Would I be correct in understanding a "Release" to mean full year-round release? Asking for a me (I need the 2009 Con Sophie back in production so I can buy like a hundred of the painting/easel at next years Reapercon) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bob Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 According to the notes on the release, it looks like that is the case; the Sophie Extravaganza is not just a Black Friday event--almost all Sophies should be available year round. I believe there are exceptions--the Urban Legend Sophie for instance will not be part of this, but there could be others as well. I'm stoked to have access to these limited Sophies myself--I started painting 4 years ago, so it's been a hunt to find previous RCon Sophies in particular. This release is well played. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Yes, year-round release. Should be all Sophies except the Urban Legend 2010, and no Bones I motorbike Sophies (the bike is too hard to produce), and none of the bigger ones that got discontinued (any 54mm or 72mm). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Awwwww, no redo on the larger ones... But still nice to hear either way. Edited November 21, 2019 by WhiteWulfe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 As a person who made the effort to go to RCon each time these Sophie's were released, a part of me says Bleeh! to this sale. Thou, anther part does say great opportunity for people that missed her the first (or 2nd, or 3rd etc) time. If she is put into regular production, hopefully this means she'll be in the Boneyard for RCon. As some of her bits are nice to have extras of (like the easel for ex.). Limited edition @ Reaper means well make it now & put it away, then later on bring back out again. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, you don’t want that dang frazzed up hunk of useless metal anyway! Flipping piece of junk that won’t go together right! :stomps on it several times: Save yourself the frustration and buy infinity minis. I hear they’re easier to put together 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited edition @ Reaper means well make it now & put it away, then later on bring back out again. Most of them had re-releases already anyway. The Kickstarter box set, and 12 days. They had apparently been talking about this internally anyway, but at RCon this year I was going to make a case for bringing them back (aiming low, I was just going to say during RCon) based on them already having re-releases, and since Reaper's customer base has grown much bigger in recent years who might want to collect Sophies it's just giving money away to the secondary market to not sell em to people who want em. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I said 2nd, 3rd, etc. Limited edition from Reaper really doesn't mean anything anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they’re easier to put together *snerks* depends on what you're trying to put together. Some of the old models are an absolute nightmare I've heard, and worse than those Azra'il's I assembled where I had to pin the head in place on both... We won't comment about the EIGHTEEN PIECES the Maghariba Guard comes in either, but then again, it weighs like three quarters of a pound by itself despite being a hollow design for the main body, and is the largest mini in the game (until they come out with something even bigger, but I digress). Does look like it will go together fairly easily though, at least once I clean up all the vent and pour area thingies on it... But wow, biker Sophie is that bad that you'd compare it to Infinity miniatures, huh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigel Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It might have been a fever-dream, but I think I remember seeing a discontinued pulp Sophie in pilot helmet and bomber jacket riding a retrofuturistic missile. If that comes back (assuming it existed?) I'll be very pleased indeed! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 They showed one that looked like it had mecha wings and a sci-fi blaster. Anyone have info on her? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that comes back (assuming it existed?) I'll be very pleased indeed! That sounds like the artwork from a save the date postcard for reapercon 2015. The save the date post card was really pulp sci fi. I was disappointed they went with more modern sci fi for the Sophie. Edit: nope, I’m dumb. You mean the 2008 Sophie.

They mentioned that Sophie (Bomber Sophie) - but unfortunately the archive copy of her is broken (apparently the tip of the bomb got snapped off somehow). But I'm pretty sure she's one of the ones they're bringing back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
