supervike Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Not exactly Wolverine... This is my first painted Superfigs! mini. I have to say they have some very characterful minis. And cheap! I believe this guy cost me $2.95 He had such a wolverine look to him, I thought I'd convert him. I added the claws, fashioned out of bobby pins. It took forever to get them to stick to the hands...especially since I did them one at a time... What do you think? Oh and go vote for it on CMoN...that place is especially brutal to me, so I could use all the love I can get... http://www.coolminiornot.com/128821 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hah, great work there Jim. Like the converion you did with this piece. What is he supposed to be normally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 He is listed as a "brawler" on the Superfigs website....here is their catalog mini... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I must say your interpetation is MUCH better than their catalog pic. I'd probably not buy from their paintjob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Farstrider Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I agree you version is so much better. Did the vote thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yeah...I'm not knocking their painting ability...but when I finally purchased a bunch of Superfigs, I was surprised that they were much better than I expected.

Ritual Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 @supervike Funny... when I read what you just wrote it seems like you DO knock their painting ability! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Ok....maybe I am knocking it just a bit. But, I didn't want to make it sound like I thought 'mine was better'...as I am full of humbleness as well as being full of other things.... But, the thought occurs to me...if you were a miniature company and wanted to actually SELL your minis...wouldn't you want the best representation of it you could get? Nathan obviously understood this from the get go here on Wyrd. It just seems like as many mini sites as there are, you could get a decent painted version just by offering a free mini or two....Just my thoughts.

Ritual Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yep, I agree! I have got several comments on my Mad Hatter where people said they must buy it! Seeing a good looking sculpt will make some people rush off and buy it, but seeing a good looking sculpt with a good looking paintjob will get a few more people rush off and buy it.

I've made this same comment many times. There are so many good painters willing to paint for swag, why ever advertise your wares with a bad paint job? Not that SF has bad paint jobs - there are far worse out there - but they could have better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
