EricJ Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 um, very reaper-y... They seemed to have peeked a year or two back, and it really feels like their current releases are very much of similar quality to the models they were putting out 8 years ago...

nerdelemental Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing as you guys. Reaper jumped forward, just like you said, Eric, and now they're so bland and mundane. Almost fulfilling base cliche's. Bummer. They're a very hit or miss company, though, so there's still hope, but I wonder if the increased production costs have forced them to shift priority to maintain the same profit lines? The best offerings above are the weapon packs and I have plenty of that stuff as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewartoad Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 BOO...the only line I will evan consider is Chronoscope! They have talented sculptor's, so why can't they sculpt worth a s@#*! They need to move up into the likes of Wyrd, Hell Dorado, Pulp City, Privateer Press, ect. Come on! You can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thryth Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I thought that there were a couple of nice pieces in their previous release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Are those zombies extras from the THRILLER video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah, I basically need to rob a bank so I can get more of the Chronoscope stuff. And their other stuff is still quality work. Just not as tempting to my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterdita Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I purchased Harvey psyco killer from their last release. While it was a cool mini over all, chain saw and meat hook, my cast was crap. Big mold lines running down all sides, and the muscles that made it a pain in the ass to file them down without messing up the sculpt. The head seemed tiny for the body, and the overall detail was rather lacking. I prob could have sculpted it myself with some bubblegum. But I painted it up and gave to a buddy that loves slasher movies for Christmas and he loved it. So overall it was a fun gift, but not anywhere near the standard of Wyrd I've been spoiled with of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say that I find PP's sculpts VERY variable in quality too. Yeah, they have some awesome stuff, but they also have things like *shudder!* the Gorax. Dunno about Pulp City, but Wyrd and Hell Dorado have quality, characterful stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
