"How About Some Modern/Near Future 15mm Cyber-Ninjas?" Topic

I would love to see Rebel Minis expand their night-vision goggle "Modern Spy" range to include multiple poses that could be used as modern/near future cyber-ninjas of sorts:

Watch this short clip, to get a sense of the general "feel" they should have:

Each sleek pose should, of course, have a combination of assorted modern weapons (pistols plus other firearms) and a few blades (short swords would be great). Climbing gear also, for those special assignments.

Imagine a dozen of them penetrating a corporate or a secret government facility, or carrying out an assassination mission in the middle of the night?

What do you guys think? Should we ask Rebel Mike for something like that?

Kremlin Miniatures does Cyber-Ninjas:

Don't be put off by their primitive website, I've ordered from them and their service is great. You just have to email them your order, and they can send a paypal invoice. And they have free shipping, even to the US!! (You just have to buy a minimum of £10).

Interesting!

OK First, the Blade link is an awesome fight scene, and living proof of the TV trope: "Never bring a gun to a knife fight."

With that out of the way. YES, I totally love that spy figure. I wish there were more versions/poses etc. and would gladly buy a box.

Ideal cyber-ninjas should be like the blade ones: with cyber-masks, lithe, trim bodies (including some recognizable females) and skintight nano-ninja garb. IE Much like Rebel Mike's offering.

Ivan, those are interesting figures, I'll have to take a look. They look a bit baggy in the image on the site.

Wellspring: "Ideal cyber-ninjas should be like the blade ones: with cyber-masks, lithe, trim bodies (including some recognizable females) and skintight nano-ninja garb. IE Much like Rebel Mike's offering."

I agree wholeheartedly with that description, particularly the skintight garb.

I think Mike captured the concept perfectly with his one pose:

I would love to see a half dozen additional poses though, but with silencer weapons and blades (using the latest in modern tech, but not too futuristic):

But, instead of being just thieves and spies, they could be used as assassins and high-tech special infiltration teams.

Anyone else out there feel the same?

I've started sculpting some for my own uses but I've also received a trial order from a well known 10mm manufacturer to produce some sci-fi ranges for him. At a pinch, when he casts my 10mm forces I'll put up the idea of him reviewing my 15mm ninjas and maybe doing a cast of them. If it works out, I'd love to share my work with others as they're coming along quite alright

S,

Awesome.

Can't wait to find out what kind of look you have envisioned for your "ninjas". Any hints?

I have the Kremlin ninjas and they are very cool.
