New Releases Are Here!

For Noraland:

Magical Ballerina Fairy Princess Infantry*

Princess Infantry

Recruited from the most doughty and redoubtable ballerina fairy princesses in all Noraland, equipped with the latest fully automatic, high velocity glitter wands, and rigorously trained to the very acme of lethal terpsichorean proficiency, these formidable troops give pause to the ravages of the most depraved and demented monstrosities.

The MBFPI average about 22mm tall.

* Despite being classed as infantry, MBFPs can use their wings for brief low-level jumps.

Pegasus Unicorn Pony Tactical Bomber

Pegasus Unicorn Pony Tactical Bomber

It is a matter of some consternation to Theo that he has been unable to consistently wrest control of the air from the forces of Noraland, and the Flying Pink Pony Unicorn Bombers extract the price of that failure. Delivering up to a 250 kilocarat payload, the bomber can accurately drop weapon-grade glitter, aerial sparkle-burst, or even scent warfare (though the latter has been outlawed since the Chanel #5 bombings that ended the Great Slime Mold War).

For Theoland

Squidboy & Whaleboy

Squidboy

Whaleboy

Theo's first experiment in recombinant monstrology was an attempt to create a super-monster with the strongest and best traits of squid, whale and human. Unfortunately, the diametrically opposed essences of cephalopod and cetacean were too much for the containment field of his prototype Mark I Monstermixer.

When the fire had been extinguished and the debris cleared away, the infant Squidboy and Whaleboy were discovered amid the wreckage.

Both grew quickly, but where Squidboy early on showed amazing dexterity and a mastery of mad science second only to Theo's own, Whaleboy was slow and clumsy - and until Theo completed his cybernetic fingers, incapable of the simplest manual tasks. Added to his hardship was the unrelenting hostility of his 'brother', an antipathy Whaleboy soon reciprocated with interest.

Whaleboy, however, was made of sturdy stuff. A self-imposed regimen of brutally rigorous exercise strengthened his lower body, and with newly perfected bionic hands, Whaleboy soon showed his mettle, becoming a master of the art of war (particularly submarine and amphibious assault).

WB is 28mm, SB 31mm.

Squidmen

Squidmen

Despite the name, Squidmen seem to have nothing of the squid about them, looking more like a compound of human, hammerhead shark, goldfish and something with long sharp claws or spines (lionfish?). Some say they were a failed attempt by Squidboy to create a cadre of loyal henchmen as a bulwark against his nemesis Whaleboy, hence "Squidboy's men" or Squidmen. Others suspect beakers were mislabeled in the lab. They carry a variety of weapons, preferring large, loud, noisome or otherwise impressive and ostentatious devices. For reason which are not entirely clear, they prefer to dress in pirate costume.

They are 34mm tall.

Giant Sabertoothed Winged Mole with Gills

Giant Sabertoothed Winged Mole with Gills

A recent product of Theo's diabolical laboratory, the Sabertoothed Winged Mole with Gills is truly a creature of inescapable destruction, a relentless nightmare from which there is no awakening – as well as having snuggly soft fur and a cute button nose. Theo considers the Giant Sabertoothed Winged Mole with Gills to be one of his great monstrological successes, and has produced them in great numbers.

The model is 37mm snout to tail, which is quite big for a mole in this scale.

Ninja Cannon

Ninja Cannon

Like most things about Ninjas, how Theo managed to convince them to allow themselves to be shot out of a cannon is a mystery – but convince them, he did, and with results devastating to his enemies. Functioning not only as artillery but anti-aircreature, ballistic ninjas are a truly terrifying and effective weapon system, limited only by their constraint to a single target and the restricted rate of fire.

The Ninjas are about 30mm tall.
