Regnak Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Are the big cogs part of the model? enquiring minds want to know... especially as I reckon that the cog makes up 75% of the model. Well, the guys confirmed the big cog on Pandora's base was part of the package so I don't see why they wouldn't include the smaller one...

Ratty Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 sweet as.. personally I think that Candy might be OK.. but if it isn't I'm sure I can find something to use instead on top of the cog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEah, we really need someone to post a pic of the bare metal model... So anyone out there at Gen Con who picked on up, PICS PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gru6y Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 This may be a bit premature, as the photo is pixelated, but it is probably the worst mini I have ever seen. It is so horrible, I cannot even belive it was approved for production. Expectations: Reality On top of that, I really hate the paint job on it (and other pieces painted by this person ie ALJ, APandy, AltRamos etc). Luckily, there is plenty models that can be used instead. For example, her: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gru6y Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, it is a bit out of place, but I don't mind it, because of the nature of Neverborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talishko Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yh to be honest I think wyrd should have sticked with a cliché lolita girl in a nice little skirt, ponytails, a raunchy pose and a little basket on the arm...

LonelyPath Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Teen Candy reminds me of a Bloodbowl model without all the armour, lol. Personally I would have preferred to have her as depicted at the end of Rising Powers, standing upright and laughing insanely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I agree with the OP- this was a great opportunity to sculpt a bad-ass model, and that opportunity was abandoned for some reason. I think Ratty might be on to the reason (maybe a rush job), but I can't imagine that there was a terribly well-thought-out concept sketch involved here.

CalmPlains Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 The paper bag was hilarious. I literally had to contain myself before posting a reply. Thank you for that, it made my morning! Why would Wyrd make a big production of the fact that Candy was growing up, only to drop the ball so badly on the miniature? +1 That there will be MANY alternative sculpts. +1 Worst model ever seen. +1 To school girl idea, give her a lollipop or bubble gum bubble = win. And the cog coming with her, is prettier than she is. Keep the cog, melt her down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmPlains Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 After some internet searching, I am no able to present the forums with an exclusive look at the new Candy model's concept art! Please forgive the low resolution, the concept art would really do her justice if viewed in HD. Click here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Funny, my first thought was "roller derby?". Hahahaha, I hadn't actually thought of that. Now when I look at the pic I can't help but think it. We need to give her roller skates! (oh, and Bloodbowl armour, heheh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I agree with all the statements about her posing, colour scheme, face etc etc. Since I like the eye candy (ohoho) from the film Sucker Punch, I'll probably end up using this Reaper fig (Whitney) with the lower hand holding a large lollipop, and the upper hand empty - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popg0estheworld Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Gentlemen, Through great personal effort, time, and dedication. I have come to an extremely elegant and affordable solution that can help all of us in this time of need. I feel my improvements might warrant an entire resculpt. But until then. I will be selling these "Model enhancers" in resin for $20 a piece. I think you will find the price is fair. SEE HOW THE HIGH-QUALITY PAPER CARESSES THE HEAD AND HIDES BLEMISHES. In all seriousness. I agree, I dont really know what they were thinking with this one. I want the Pandora avatar too much to not get it, so the price is right. Comes right with it. Guess we'll have to cross our fingers and hope this picture was taken through an "ELDRICH HORROR" filter. Otherwise we all make a gentlemen's agreement to pretend old Candy stands in just fine for new Candy. I will do this conversion for anyone who is interested, free of charge, as long as you pay shipping costs. I am dead serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(TV) Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Let's just say I'm worried until I see a better picture. Regards, TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I want to see a better picture but personal I am glad she isn't the typical slutty school girl. As others have pointed out here there are already a million minis of those out there. Besides who is look at Candy when you have that Awesome Pandora Avatar out in play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
