Your say on Spyglass Miniatures!

[Caenem]

With all the discussion between you and Ceno I had a flash of brilliance.

Me want a Cenobyte! Flesh-tearing hooks are the way to go! Besides that, the only thing I could \"request\" would be a sleeping dragon and/or wolf, curled up with their tail right by their muzzle. The dragon could be regular scale. Who\'s to say there aren\'t man-sized dragons somewhere? As for the wolf, I\'m a wolf fanatic, and always wanted to paint a sleeping, curled up wolf. Your sculpts for Spyglass look damn cool so far. There\'s something about that Elf Archer and her pose that\'s just too damn cool. Keep it up!

Steve - durnit!

Anybody live in the Portland, OR area that could help me out?

I\'m looking to pick up about 2 of each.

There was a thread a while back about what kind of minis people would like to see, that are not covered by the current companies. I\'m not sure whether it was in the general discussion, or one of the other forums. But that might give you some ideas..:idea:

I remember that thread....

That thread was the \"minis you wish existed\" one and there were tons of good ideas.

In fact Corvus, I think you may be almost uniquelol

Not just unique . . . more like bizarrely unique. lol
Never heard of such a thing. ???

Take for instance the barbarian fellow you use for your avatar:

I\'d like to see more than just one pose of the same fig. Maybe have the same Barbarian in leather armor, winter gear, riding a horse, as an older man, with a beard...I think you get the idea.

The recurring character thing would be incredible not just for folks who play RPGs or wargames, but for people like me who want to be able to \'tell stories\' through a diorama.

Now that\'s a really cool idea!

You know, this whole idea of being able to give feedback directly to the sculptor/creator is really way cool! It\'s enough to make one giddy:bouncy:

Thanks Steve!

Right, I think that should sort things out (I\'m looking at you Corvus )

well, you know my policy about buying new minis...

but hey, maybe collecting spyglass minis has just turned out to be my new project

No, seriously, I will order them someday, if the time is right
They\'re just too damn good to resist

 

[Temperance]

More ideas:

Foppish noble -- good for a rich merchant or something similar. Someone who looks like they\'ve never held a sword.

Charismatic noble -- the stereotypical Prince Charming

Oriental figures

 

[Mengu]

I must be the odd one out.

Instead of another cool human barbarian, another cool elven archer, and another cool female succubus, I would much rather see a cool human archer, a cool elven barbarian, and a cool male succubus. When I see those, I\'ll feel more like I must have them. For now, they are tempting but I manage to keep my plastic in the wallet.

Would you belive it?

:wow::~(

Me Sowwy buddy Steve...

Kit kat and Supervike`s fualt....


lol

Peace!

 

[kittykat23uk]

Ah, somthing that would be quite cool- Vertigo released a comic called \"fables\" where all these fairytale/ story book characters are ostracised from their homelands and are forced to live in the real world. Great artwork, It\'d be nice to see some minis based on that. :idea:

[Stripwalker]

my take on it

Well the idea is great and your price is great and I\'d do order some this minute BUT- $11 for shipping to Canada on 2 little figures is fricken highway robbery! The same type of items ship for no more than $5 on Ebay. Seriously, find a new way to sell them than on CMON cause the shipping rates are stupidly outrageous on here.

 

[SJB]

Oh no, not more shipping cost problems. Stripwalker, when did you try to place your order? The postage rates were redone yesterday I think as they were showing up wrong. To my knowledge it shouldn\'t be as much as $11 no matter where you live. It only costs $5 to Europe so Canada shouldn\'t be so much.

Please try the shopping cart again and let me know what comes up.

[SJB]

I just ran a dummy order for two Spyglass figures through the shopping cart and gave my address as in Canada. Shipping was shown as $5.

I assume that you must have tried to place your order before this got fixed. I hope that $5 shipping is more to your liking (it certainly seems more reasonable)



If you try again and still have a problem let me know and I\'ll get Borg or Chern to look into it.

Here\'s an idea, but it might want to wait until more miniature lines are being sold through the CMoN shop.

It might be worth while to put an ad out in a Magazine (like Dragon or Paizo\'s new miniature/card game/board game magazine...) for CMoN and the various figure lines at the store; Spyglass, Freebooter, etc. By splitting the cost over several figure lines and CMoN, it might end up drawing more attention to the website and the various miniature lines.

I suspect that it\'ll be a good idea to wait until more miniature lines are present at CMoN, as it\'s probably not a good investment for you, Ng Chern Ann, and Warner Klocke at this point.

Just a thought for the future of the store and CMoN. (Now all I gotta do is get my own line running. lol Well, first I need to really learn to sculpt...)

 

[Stripwalker]

Awesome- you can expect an order from me then

 

[mobosix]

WOW!

I received my Kordius the Slayer from New Wave today. I also just placed an order for the three that are on this site! Man your sculpts are clean and beautiful! Keep it up.

I\'d like to see you finish out the \"core\" character types. After that, go back and do the opposite sex of the same type. Having both male and female models of a character would be sweet! Of course you could always throw in a few non character types for variety.

I\'d like to see the following...

monk
knight
dwarf
elf w/swords
Mage

Both female and male of course


Now, where can I see those Amazons people are talking about. Or better yet, were can I buy them

 

[Big Mean Elf]

Cheesy Big Elf...

Me been think`n on it....you know if I had my tread up here to discuss my cool (or not) new mini company...and some other sculptor pimped his shit via a post in my thread,I would think they where be`n a dick head.



Me was not blah blahed by anyone,just came to this on me own...

:wow:

I did NOT mean to steal Steve Babies thunder here,with my post a few up...I was actually pat`n the other what would we like to see mini thread,cuase some good ideas are in that long little post.

:]

Just think`n...mabey me was out of line or taken wrong perhaps,me do rub folk wrong wrong some time time...

:~(

I have know me pal SB fer more`n a few years now,we emailed each other often enought back in the day,and have been all over the Yahoo groups,and we have both been talking bout do`n our own lines fer fun and cash,course.



Me just don`t want to be taken wrong here or anywhere...so some ass hole like me (My comments on Jen h fer xample),is not inclined to bad mouth me in a few years when I`m doing my thing,here and abroad.

just think`n to me self...

Hmmm...wonder how folk dat don`t know me well must take some of the (Funny?) shit I say...?

:wow:???:flame:

Peace!

:innocent:
