Bones USA Feedback Thread.

Despite coming from a modern miniatures gaming background, I actually like the integrated bases.

 

I just bought my first Bones USA fig, and I love it. Them and Bones Black are my favorite material Reaper makes.

To date I have had one piece.  I was quite happy with the detail and quality of the material compared to the previous bones incarnations.  Mould lines are still an issue but it sanded much better than the original bones. 

 

The biggest problem that I had was it was brittle.  I remove integral bases and rebase.  With Bones I normally cut off excess with a clipper and then do a clean cut with a razor saw level with the bottom of the feet.  First clip of the base next to a leg shattered the leg and some cloak right off.  Once I knew about it I changed my approach but I was a bit surprised when it occurred.  The shatter was clean so I was able to glue it back and only had to gap fill one tiny crack. 

 

It was not much of an issue that can be addressed but it is part of the learning curve for the material.

With the release of the Bones Legends line, is the goal to move all plastic to this line? Will we see more bones black or original bones? Just curious.

This is a great question that I would like to have a more comprehensive answer to as well.

I gotta say, I really like the Bones USA material. I’ve always perferred Metal (still do) for the weight and capture of the sculpts. The USA line changed my mind on plastic being able to perform as good as metal.
