Mason Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Rasputina is spelled wrong. XD Otherwise, looks great! I'm surprised to see a Pandora box on the schedule for next month, and Fuhatsu in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) We're all too busy Beta testing to worry about actual models. Just kidding, thanks for the link! Also, Pandy!!! Need Pics Whoa, and Nephilim are $40 for 3? 2 Young and 1 Mature? Edit: By January 2014, the original(1.5) Book1 Masters still MIA (as far as plastics go) will be: Zoraida Somer Leveticus Perdita Nicodem M2E Book 1 masters still waiting for a plastic box will add: Ophelia Brewmaster Tara (not counting nightmare edition as it's not generally available) Edit2: Pure M2E figures (ie: didn't exists in 1.5) to be released first: Lone Marshall Fuhatsu Cojo all in January Rasputina is spelled wrong. XD There's a typo thread for that Edited October 31, 2013 by Cats Laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm a bit surprised at the cost of some of them. Fuhatsu and the Lone Marshal are $40 and $35 each? Ouch. For a plastic mini, that is getting pricey again. Wonder if they are not plastic then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm guessing they're big, fancy plastic kits (possibly with many parts). That seems way more likely than them using resin for two random models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Also keep in mind those models are Rare 1. Unlike other molds, those models are going to have make back their price off single sales here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagingRodian Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Nonetheless, you can't really say that you are switching to plastics due to the high costs of making metal miniatures, then charge metal prices for plastic models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 And I wouldn't be surprised to see a scenic base or something on the Marshal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 The nephlim I want to know what's in the box hope is 2 young and mature if its 3 young but I need them so glad there on the way. Also excited for Pandora. But making me Wait on Nicodem is cruel and unusual punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony LiPira Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah, some of those kits look a bit pricey. I'm still really excited about these releases. My wife may be getting a new crew for X-mas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausplosions Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 My money is on the Nephelim box having young (1-2) and a Mature. Otherwise it would be called Young Nephelim, not "Nephelim". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alviaran Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 The Warden was $30, right? Maybe Fuhatsu's barrels spin? Also keep in mind those models are Rare 1. Unlike other molds, those models are going to have make back their price off single sales here and there. Warden was $18. Lazarus is basically an action figure he has so much articulation and he's $25. Izamu is merely $16. Both Izamu and Lazarus are also Rare 1. Or Graves, Tannen, Yamaziko, Willie, Rail Golem, Burt, Wong, Gracie, Toshiro, Yin. Or just in general the minion boxes that are Rare 3 and have 3 to the box (which I believe was more when they were 1.5 models than now since I don't know how many are simply Rare 3 now). And in that case, you're still only going to see a person buy a single box, even if it has three minis in it. So drastically higher prices for a box because people are only gonna' buy one for their collection doesn't really do it to justify a higher cost. That's what gives me pause. Is it really significantly larger and more elaborate than Lazarus? I worry about it becoming pretty damn pricey for these. For $35-40 for a single 50mm model in Malifaux, it had better be pretty damn extravagant if it's plastic. And part of that extravagance for me is lots of alternate pieces so mine can be unique from many others. If it isn't, then I'm disappointed in the plastic. I like metal minis. I recognize the cost benefits and the ease of working with them (I will admit, plastic horse > metal horse any day), but I do appreciate a metal mini. So if I am paying the premium for a mini, it needs to be really complicated to justify the cost or of a material that demands a premium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brence Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Let me start of by saying to each there own. I think prices are fair as I certainly think you are getting 2 or 3 models in Fuhatsu's box, maybe even something scenic as his handlers are putting their feet into the dirt to keep him upright. That coupled with a big mini, the fact indeed he is Rare 1 make me believe he surely is plastic. Pricing according to the in game use of a miniature is something that in my opnion goes with the territory. To quote Tony Stark: Thats how dad did it, that how we do it...and it has worked out pretty well so far". As to the release shedule, it really shows Wyrd is going to come to its own as I'd almost think the Reboot into plastic for current models might be complete by end of 3014. Way to go guys!

As to the release shedule, it really shows Wyrd is going to come to its own as I'd almost think the Reboot into plastic for current models might be complete by end of 3014. Way to go guys! Always preferred PPs method of pricing to GWs. Detail and complexity drives price. More fanciful miniatures in more pieces cost more money. Points value or use in the game has little effect. As their minis have gotten better, their prices have gone up too. And outside of one or two rare times, the old stuff hasn't gone up in price. (And they do try to use plastics to drive down prices. An example would be the Bane Thralls that went up recently. They are plastic versions of the metal resculpts from a few years ago. $85 box became $50 with the change. Compare to GW who has always priced things based on performance or points cost. I think outside of maybe basic unit boxes and maybe characters, everything tends to be similar priced dollar per point. The idea that the model is worth more points and thus costs more cash is silly and arbitrary. It's a way of saying, "Hey, for an X size army, we are expecting to get this much out of you". Malifaux has never needed to work like that (nor Warmachine) because they are games that encourage owning a collection rather than an army. They don't need to count on getting a 2000 pt army out of you and then you stop buying for that army. They count on their future releases being awesome ways to augment what you already have and make you want to buy it until you own 200 pts of a faction in a game where you play 50 pt games. And maybe Fuhatsu and the Lone Marshal will be really super amazing and detailed models. I'm just wary is all. I'd rather spend $40 on the Nephilim box if it does indeed contain two Young and a Mature. Especially since the art for those looks sweet. (I hate everything about Fuhatsu from a creative standpoint. The concept is silly even in this game and the art looks dumb. I'll be copying my friend's proxy idea of a big 50mm samurai toting a gatling gun).

mythicFOX Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Until we have a view of the actual contents of the boxes it's hard to form a meaningful opinion on the value they represent. ---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ---------- But Gremlins aren't a real faction (or real people). >.> Everytime you say that a gremlin dies.
