More Model News

Just a quick update… I recently got the master copies of the bounty hunter figure and all of his guns, and shipped a couple off to a painter who will be doing the “official” paint jobs to use for things like ads or box art, etc. Now production molds need to be made and the models get cast and packaged and then it will be ready to go. Everything is taking a lot longer than I thought, I’m learning the hard way just how long it can take to get 1 little product released. But, at least now I’ll know and can plan ahead for next time. So right now it’s looking like he’ll be released mid-late January if all goes well. Followed by the Gambler in mid-late Feb and the Prospector in mid-late March. I may be able to get the prospector and doctor together and plan to do 2 per month from then on.

When all is said and done, it’s looking like the gang leaders that have the figure and weapon sprue will all be $11.49. When I start doing henchman models, they’ll come 2 per pack for hopefully the same price. I’m guessing 5 man starter packs will be around $35… but that’s a ways off.

So now I just have some more waiting around to do, just in time to relax for the holidays. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday, and you all get lots of presents!


More Bounty Hunter Info

Got the Bounty Hunter green today :) Looks really great in person. The photos don’t really do it justice. The weapons are small (but just the right proportions) .. they seemed like they’d be bigger in the photos.

I’ll be shipping him off to get turned into metal on Monday, no idea how long it’ll take to get the figures after that. I’m guessing I’ll get my master models in a couple weeks, another couple weeks to get the metals all packaged up and ready to sell!

Here’s a new pic I took, next to a Black Scoripion Tombstone mini and a GW cadian, and a shot with a ruler. I made this pic a little smaller, trying to get it to look “actual size” :)

What I decided to do, with these first few models that will have the optional weapons, is they will be labeled/sold as the gang leader models. So his name will be something like “Bounty Hunter Gang Leader”, followed by “Gambler Gang Leader” etc. Then, later on, they’ll be sold individually or packaged with 4 unique henchman figures in a starter set (so, 6 starter sets in all, 1 for each type of leader). And then you can count the henchmen as henchmen, or professionals too. Each starter will come with quick start rules and a sample roster sheet too.
