Foundry Miniatures

[Marbles]

I bought the (excellent) 2k miniatures from Foundry a few months ago. I enquired this morning if there were any more in the pipeline and this was the response :-

I'm happy to say that there are more 2000AD models being produced - I've
seen "greens" for another (younger) version of Slaine, Ukko, Hammerstein, a
few more Judges (including Psi-Judge Anderson) and a few others.  We can't
release these models until we have approval from the guys at 2000AD (one of
the licensing agreements) but as soon as we get the go ahead we'll release
them.

I can't seem to reply to the original thread for some reason.  

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I'll definitely send it tonight. Do you want it in colour or b&w?

Some of the new figures are now available! This from the man at Foundry :-

I've been reliably informed that
you can now actually order (by phone only, at the moment) two new packs of
pre-casts - "Hammerstein" and "Slaine & Ukko".

But... did they mention the postage?

[Marbles]

Yeh its usually ?5 a go.

Still I'm tempted, just so I can say I've got 'em when no one else has. That's pretty sad really.

nb got ure cd copies pvs, in the post tmrw..

I've decided to buy multiple packs of the original set so I can sell on the spares for, say, ?10 including postage. If this works I'll do the same with the future packs.

Cheers,

Wake

Any chance of you (or the shop) getting a few of these new 'pre-order' figures in ?? The postage from Foundry is a real killer.

[Wake]

Me, yes. The shop, no.

Email me if you want to buy the original set of 4, or the new Hammerstein figure or Slaine+Ukko for ?10 for each of the 3 packs including UK postage.

The new figs aren't out until next week, so I haven't ordered any yet.

Cheers,

Wake

Wake, is the Hammerstein figure on its own for ?8.50 (before any post)?  It must be huge right?  Tell me it's huge.

But Slaine and Ukko for ?8.50?  Ukko's a wee fella and Slaine, unless he's in massive warp out mode, isn't exactly massive?

Anyone have any preview pics, with scale?

[Wood]

The new Foundry Fantasy figures are nearer 1/48th scale (36mm) than 1/60th (28-30mm), and a friend who has the 2000AD ones reckon they're about the same.

I'm going to the Colours show next week, so I'll give you a report, K?

[Wood]

Oh, and Foundry prices beggar belief. If they can do two elves and a couple of teeny tiny cherubs for ?8.50, they can sure as hell do Slaine and Ukko...

I have seen the new Foundry models and they look awesome. Dredd is a complete new sculpt with daystick and looks very mean and slick and to be honest young in the face. The Slaine is a younger version of the warrior, complete with axe and is far better than the previous model. Hammerstien rocks, the figure is huge and looks the dogs as they say, and in my own opinion is the best white metal 2000AD model I have ever seen. I will be posting images of all three of the new models on Dredd Times as soon as I get the go ahead from Foundry.
Trust me they look fantastic.

I didn't know the original Foundry 2000 AD figures had even been released, and I was the fookin' editor when they were being designed. Wonderful marketing, eh?

So much for making 2000 AD a household name.

[chopper666]

I have some preview pics of Slaine and Hammerstien and Dredd and got my samples this morning but till I get the all-clear from Foundry I cant post them in any form (including emails sorry :()

But to answer a few questions here if I can.
1. The miniatures are 28mm scale and with Slaine standing some 5cm tall and 2.5 wide, Ukko is much smaller only around 3cm tall. Hammerstien is huge and a single piece casting (ie needs no parts gluing on) and stands almost 6cm tall and from his hammer to his fist on the other arm he is 6cm wide.

2. Not exactly sure of the price of the miniatures but I suspect that they will be ?8.50 with the usual postage from Foundry (around ?7 unless you bulk order). I will find out tomorrow.

3. The next two figures are Dredd with Daystick and a Young Slaine, and Slaine the Horned God. The Slaine figures will coincide with the release of the roleplaying game from Mongoose Publishing (out now) and look great.

There are some more figures planned to be released as soon as Rebellion give the green light and there is loads of cool stuff to look out for. I will post updates on the board when I get them from Paul Watson (Foundry's webdude and all round cool guy) and will of course update both Dredd Times and Gamers Web with the information and images when I get the all clear.

Hope this helps.
