I really wish I could like the Raging Heroes sculpts, but they are posed so stupidly as to be an insult to any woman IMO.

Have to agree about the poses. These would have some potential without the gymnastics.

they are posed so stupidly as to be an insult to any woman

And most men, too, I suspect. At least, I'll never buy one, even though, as you, I like some of the designs and the overall quality of the sculpting.

Not to mention the miniskirts or bikini bottums. Very practical for a combat uniform. At least as useful as a chain main bikini.

But considering how well the kickstarter did I suppose I am in the minority.

owen

You'd be amazed at how hard it is to get a sculptor to sculpt a girl with all her clothes on. I had one sculptor that just wouldn't deemphasize the chest on one model to the point that I had to send pictures of attractive girls without their clothes clinging to their chest to show it was possible. He kinda gave up after that.

Snipers in heels?

I like the pose of the second to the last figure, except for her holding a knife (how is she holding that rife one handed)and the over large rife.

"Snipers in heels?"

Gives a +1 shooting modifier for height advantage (but you can't run and fire at the same time)

How about the weight and overall clumsiness of the "rifle"?

I have never seen an intelligent looking sculpt from Roginshrbozz.

I'm digging most of them! I bet North Korea already has a few units of similar soldiers with those pink miniskirts from the youtube video!

These figures are so bad as to be laughable. They are satires of themselves. The only reason they have boobs is to show they are female. One could hardly tell otherwise

They are cartoons, I guess.

Not really my cup of tea, I'm afraid.

Most of the time with real combat uniforms in the field you have to be very close to tell men from women. Uniforms are meant to be uniform. And not fashion statements.

And yes 90 pound sniper rifles are probably a bit hard to use. Blame 40K for ;leading the way.

owen

The *second* most ridiculous point is the size of teh weapons.
Excessive poses, but in line with Infinity, Soda Pop &c…
As for the grab, gaming minis are not intended to be scrutinized under a magnifying glass but to be seen from some distance : their most distinguishing features have to be somehow emphasized link or highlighted.

But the *first* most ridiculous point – as with practically all figurines and movie depictions of 'futuristic soldiery' – is the assumption that soldiers in the future (say, in more than a few decades) will look like mere extrapolations of current designs and projects.
With the development of nanotechnologies Dejah Thoris bearing no more than jewelry would probably be more likely (but you'd not see the mini, since the jewel in her navel [do Red Martians have navels, btw?] holds the generator of an invisibilty (visible, IR, UV, radar…) and repulsive field
