Latest Figures (Med Tec, Nina, and Dragomira 0-3) Review

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

I received these figures a few weeks ago and have had some mixed feelings about them. Let’s start off with the best. The Dragomira looks awesome!

I really am impressed by this figure, although I can’t use it yet. I have to wait for the other members of his unit to come out before I’m able to field her. Based on paint job alone, this one looks great.




Next up Nina Zero and Babylon Zero. I really dig these figures, for the most part. I think the paint job on Babylon Zero works out great.



But the funky orange plastic bit in the back makes it feel a bit “cheap”

With it’s dual nucleus cannons and the snipe ability, it’s going to be a tough nut to crack. The Nina paint job looks decent. It does look a bit rushed, like most of the other figures, but good enough.



I faced her in my last battle against my arch rival and she turned out to be quite a headache. I’m certain he will be fielding her again soon.
The worst of the lot are the Med Tecs. They look awful. Let’s start with the best looking of the bunch, the male Tec.
This paint job simply doesn’t work. The body looks almost half done. It has a lot of white showing through where it looks like it shouldn’t. But it’s the face that really gets me. It looks like he has some kind of brown smudge running down into his eyes. But, he can take heart, he is the best looking of the tecs. Take for instance, the red head.
Again, paint job is horrible. Her clothes look like she is in dire need of a bath and dry cleaning. And her face…It looks as though these doctors are more like doctors you would see in a very scary episode of Twilight Zone. Click here for what she is supposed to look like.
And the worst of them all…
This Tec looks like she has had a lot of work done from an blind plastic surgeon. Again, not at all what I was hoping for.
These techs come with a Hospital container and three high walls, that are pretty cool. The rules for the Med Tec’s to me look pretty cool. You can see them here:

Up and Coming Army: Cogs

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

The Cogs have shown up in a few Cry Havoc’s from Rackham. They are the next army joining the fight in Frostbite. They have shown some comparison photos against a UNA officer with the Cogs being quite a bit taller then every other army. I for one, dig the style and look of this army, although I do question the Orange Armor. If they weren’t fighting on a snow planet, it would look just fine however. I can’t wait to get my hands on these guys!
