Superfigs!!

[supervike]

Superfigs have been around for awhile, and they may not be the 'sexy' choice for mini-painters, there are quite a few in the gallery that look promising.

I'd love to see a few of the minis with 'better' paint.

Anybody have any thoughts/experience/info on them?

There are several in the "brick" category I like, but my favorite is in the 'vehicle' category...



Not to sound like a knock, but they have kind of a 'non-professional' feel that gives them ALOT of charm in my eyes.

I kinda like 'em but would want to see what a decent painter would make of them.

Did a CMON search but nothing on there that I could see....

spacemunkie did one of this guy...



its on his http://www.groundforge.co.uk/ site, but here is the pic...



Although it is much much better than the 'superfigs' paint, it seems there is only so much you can do with him...I still like it tho!

Boy Mr Munkie's is much, much better. They should contact him and have him paint thier stuff, cause to be honest, I did no like that mini until I saw his version of it.

I have one or two around here somewhere in my pile of stuff (which I plan on thinning out as soon as I can get some time) and they aren't too bad.

Have to agree though, its amazing how much more appealing a miniature can seem once a painter with some talent has gotten ahold of it.

I thought these were being cancelled?
At least I'm sure Discounthobbies.com has stopped carrying them.

I like superhero figs. Citadel I think used to do some nice ones.
These have a few with great character, like Mistress Nightmare.
The one you show here reminds me of Captain Simian from "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys."

I always marvel at the fact that there are so many good painters out there and yet mini companies still advertise their stuff with photos of crappy paint jobs.

Thats a great point. I mean you could probably take any of the top 1000 from CMoN, and offer nothing but free minis, and you'd have a ton of talented painters hocking your wares.

I've considered getting that Mech-Gore cyber-monkey thing before.

It'd make a great avatar :D

There are a few Superfigs minis that are really quite good. I'm always tempted when I go to Wargames World...

[supervike]

Ah, so you've seen some of these in person Scott?

How do they measure up, scale wize to other minis (privateer press, cell, etc)

[Spacemunkie]

The human sized figs are, well, human sized really! That big dude I painted is troll/ogryn sized. Deinitely fit into the 28-32mm bracket.

They are generally extremely stylised and the cast quality isn't the greatest. Saying that, they're not that expensive considering the amount of lead you get.

One or two of them are excellent.
