I like this one! The flower bouquet seems a bit weird, but I also think it could look pretty cool when painted! I got ideas for this one! :) Probably will lose the sword though, or at least attach it in a different position.

It's oke. Not likely gonna pay the freebooter price for it though. I rather buy his new Reaper figs and get 2 for the price of one (almost). Still some Freebooter on my wishlist though.

Yep, they're a bit pricey, for sure, but I think Werner is pushing himself a lot harder with his own stuff. His Reaper minis are good, but a bit 'standard'. I rather pay a bit more and get more exciting minis.

The glasses are great (very Tomb Raiderish).
I don't understand the pose of the legs. Seems too static compared to the top.
The guns are OK I guess ... drop the sword.
Finally, she'd be better with some pants if she has some running arround to do ;).

She looks like Werner's trying t ocombine too many elements in one fig - she'd got a sword, a gun, a flower bouquet, glasses and cleavage in spades, but imo, they're not tying together very well. My first thought on seeing her was her saying, "I caught the bouquet, now the rest of you BACK OFF!" God knows, weddings would be more interesting with swords and semi-automatic weapons, rather than the standard shotgun ;))

Yeah that he's pushing himself more for Freebooter is a fact. Heared that from the man himself. These generally take him quite a bit longer then the reaper-stuff. I do like quite a few of his reaper miniatures though. Some as much as his reaper stuff, some even more. But true he has some gems in the freebooter range (I have about 1/3th)

I like this one, and I think with the right paint job it will really pop - though I have to admit and sort of flow with the crowd here a bit, that it might be trying to combine too much at once.
I think maybe if the sword was placed elsewhere or differently that might make a difference.

Apparently there are no "Kill Bill" fans here.
She's "the bride" or at least an homage to the bride.
She doesn't look like Uma Thurman, but she's armed like her.
I like her but not enough to buy her. She doesn't fit in with anything I have, and she's a bit hard to plowshare.

Yuck.
I dunno, I really like her face, but there's a couple major issues I have with her that will mean I dont buy her. The composision is rather top heavy... hmm you know just snagging the sword off for cool bits or moving it down would fix that, gun just looks plain silly, and I really dislike the mini skirt thing.

Wow, that skirt is tight!
I guess what I dig the most is the glasses. A very hard thing to get to mold right.

Glasses are cool but will make the face a bitch to paint. Dont like the flowers at all. I get where he is coming from but its not for me.
And where does she put that gun when shes not using it?

Could also be a bit of a take on that recent movie ... crap what is the name of it ............. hrmmmm ... well whatever it is, its the chick who has subspace portal stuff for her weapons so they just sort of disappear or reappear when they are needed.
