Cats Laughing Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 As long as Nightmare Nekima looks better than the Miley Cyrus Nekima render we've seen so far. Does not appear to be twerking, what are you talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Probably the tongue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Have to echo that making the new masters the last boxes to be released is something I definitely do not agree with by reasons already stated. As for Nekima, she seems pretty awesome to me, don't know if I prefer old or new, both seem pretty smexy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybaris Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think it'll be good, i assume the tongue may be "edited out" if prefered. The only thing that struck me as odd was the huge pair of horns that appeared a bit cartoony to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyrd Plastics: The tongue will be about the same size as the Chihuahua's finger bit or Yan Lo's beard, and you'll lose it in the carpet anyway... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHero Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I feel like there is a lot of complaining about what order Wyrd releases their plastics. I just want to say their stuff looks fantastic and not everyone is going to like every model they make. I am sure they are doing the best they can to get stuff out as fast as possible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobek Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 As for Nekima, she seems pretty awesome to me, don't know if I prefer old or new, both seem pretty smexy. I don't know. It looks like it'd be FAR less prone to breaking than the old one. That's a plus in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matney X Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 We're still 19 days away -- despite last year's extremely early GenCon announcement (the earliest I've found is May 8th http://goo.gl/yPQoKU, 99 days before GenCon), 2012 and 2011 searches come up showing they didn't announce anything until August (granted, all the old forums are gone, so it's possible they posted things here in June or July) -- they're not late with announcements, yet.

PeregrineFalcon Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Guys/Gals, we get a new Chronicles on Aug. 1. That's when we'll see everything (that's my UNOFFICIAL speculation). I wouldn't expect anything (beyond the artwork we've seen) before the Chronicles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Now that you mention it, there was going to be a Gencon dedicated chronicles issue that had to ship before Gencon itself, so that might be where everything gets revealed in detail.

I wouldn't expect anything (beyond the artwork we've seen) before the Chronicles. Makes sense. Kinda makes me wonder if they intentionally brought back the chronicles and FAQ on the months they did so that there is a chronicles right before GenCon and an FAQ right after.

Guslado Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Approximately 16 days and 15 hours until the vendor floor opens at Gen Con and I can get my hands on all of the awesomeness! The suspense is killing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb_man Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think Wyrd would have to be really dumb to put out wave 2 plastic masters before they even have the wave 1 Masters done. Then it just looks bad like they can't finish what they start and they will just jump on to the next thing before being done with the last. Well that is my 2 cents.

It's pretty normal practice in the wargames industry though. All the major wargames companies I can think of have released new stuff before all their "old" stuff is available, and they do it on a regular basis too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldarion Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think Wyrd would have to be really dumb to put out wave 2 plastic masters before they even have the wave 1 Masters done. Then it just looks bad like they can't finish what they start and they will just jump on to the next thing before being done with the last. Well that is my 2 cents. For any Wave 1 that's not readily available in metal, I'd be inclined to agree. On the other hand, if (for example) they know that they've got 2000 metal Zoraida box sets sitting in the warehouse, it would make a lot of sense for them to postpone creating a plastic set for her. Creating a plastic set for Collette, whose metal supply has largely dried up, would make much more sense. When I look at the web store, and see how many of the plastic sets there are, that they still have a backlog of metal sets for, I kind of feel sorry for Wyrd. Those metals have to be moving really slowly, and even just sitting on them in a warehouse costs them money. I would imagine there was some discussion over whether it was worth moving some things to the new warehouse, or just selling them as scrap to a recycler. Footnote: No, I don't have any inside information - I looked in the store, saw metal Zoraida, thought of the speculation of a Zoraida kit, and made up a number that seemed like a large, but not unreasonable, stock level.

You're not taking into account that issues arise in production that requires them to go back and rework sculpts. They don't discover these kinds of isues until months later; during which time they've moved on to work on other sculpts. These newer sculpts turn out to be fine for production, so get out quickly, while they have to rework older ones. There's a process, folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matney X Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Creating a plastic set for Collette, whose metal supply has largely dried up... When I stumbled across a Coryphee Duet online, that's actually why I passed on it. I speculate that Colette will be one of the first Wave 2 sets out there due to how sparse the availability is -- if they weren't going to release new Showgirls models, they would have simply ordered more metals to be cast and sent out. As for the metal models, that's a tough one. My only gripe there is there was no real need for new Ramos, Marcus, or Raspy crews with Wave 1 -- sure, they're nice, but we could have been fine with just 1 -- where Tara and Fuhatsu didn't have models at all. I suspect the models they went with weren't based on availability, but a proven track record of which crews would both sell and were easy enough for people totally new to the game to pick up and play. Tara is a hard Master to master, Raspy not so much... If someone's first foray into Malifaux were someone difficult to play, they may not come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
