Challenge accepted. *
At the Moment the PSR site is down, Server is too busy message appears but I looked at them yesterday…they are ..well, in a word Ugly but I reckon I could find a use for some of them.
*Mind you…do what with them? Does Bashing them with a big hammer or dropping them into boiling lead Count ?

With the amazing quality of current plastic figures, you wonder why someone would even bother releasing figures that poor. |
| Pauls Bods | 12 Oct 2018 8:23 a.m. PST |
Just done a search for them…PSR (Server still down) said a new maker? They´ve been around a while now.
This from 2014
and from 2012

LOL. I guess that, if I was already stuck with them, I might be able to use some of them as statues or even clay "golems". :) Dan |

I am not a sculptor and I have no delusion that I could do better, but I am not sure I would be that much worse LOL. |

I am no sculptor, but I have the deepest respect for this form of art that I find much more difficult than that of a painter.
Of course, I agree that this minis are far from the best in the world, but I am convinced that it is possible to get a result, at least with some of the poses.
So, even if I am not asked, I would like to second Paul in this challenge. Remember this one ? Hät Sea People
Or this one ? Hät Visigoth
Or this one ? Mars zombie Pirate

Phil, you are seconded…mind you, have you seen the Price!!? : £15.99 GBP for 24 !! Now I can see the PSR page, I´ll correct my second post about PSR and them being a new Producer;
"Today we welcome a new manufacturer to our site. Hegemony Miniatures have been around for some time, making sets in very small numbers, but have plans to become more Mainstream" Though, do resin sculpts Count as plastic? |
| Philotep | 12 Oct 2018 3:04 p.m. PST |
Er… no, I didn't check before answering :) Too bad, they can be used as opponents again Qin. |

I really like the Mars Seas Zombies ! And I never really understood the dislike of the sea people from HaT either – other than they were a bit on the tall side scale wise. |

Man, this is  sad. Whoever is behind the company is clearly doing it out of love rather than business sense. Sure when you see someone pursuing a dream they are not up to the task of realizing. |

A couple of the figures in the RDG set are…ok… link but the guy throwing the handgrenade has anatomical issues.

@ Philotep said So, even if I am not asked, I would like to second Paul in this challenge Good plan ! Your figures always look great too! |

Philotep, your superb painting shows that you can polish a after all………! |
experiments with using recessed bases for figures with cast-on bases.
