You may notice that the dagger isn't touching her leg on the Skyclad, well that may not be the case with the metal.
This is one of the minis that had to be remoulded, the connection between the dagger and leg is very slight, and can in a lot of cases be pulled way. Which is good in some senses because you can move the arm if you like, however for casting purposes not so much.
We fixed it though so she'll be fine now :)
We've also seen Jaguar Shaman Boudi in her own update so when I saw she was a little out of focus I didn't retake the photo, justified my laziness ;)
Whadya think?

I didn't realise until I was editing the image that Winter Matthias is a little hidden and you can't tell that he's in a different pose to the others as he's leaning more forward so I've knocked out a quick low quality camera phone one too...
Worse photo but better angle :)
The palette is a separate piece and of course you can just snip off the paintbrush end on any of them to make it a standard wand.

Gonna squeeze another update in before bed. This time around we have...
Skyclad and Pin-Up have the original 'cutesy' leg, we switched up the left leg for the Winter version :)
I'm still not sold on the disco ball bra armour though, don't tell Kev ;)

Ok, this one has been a bit of an issue here, let's get the image out of the way first then we can chat...
L-R - Dawn Skyclad, Pin-Up Dawn, Winter Dawn
As you can see, she isn't leaning on anything. We went back and fore about putting a rock on the sprue or something but in the end decided it wasn't worth it.
A rock is, well a rock. I'm pretty certain most people can find a rock :) And a big chunk of metal on there increased the cost of the miniature for very little benefit. Plus everyone would have the exact same rock. So yes, we ummed and ahhed but went with nothing in the end.
We 'are' last minute still deciding on whether there'll be a premium upgrade slotted in at the very last second to the pledge manager in the same way as with Glory but Kev hates my idea cos it's almost impossible to cast in metal so it'd be a premium resin upgrade and we kind of already have Tryke for that.
The idea, which is all it is right now, is a sort of skull totem with a baby Triceratops skull on a totem of bones. Like the bad version of leaning on Tryke :) Would anyone be interested in that, bearing in mind it would be a premium resin upgrade only as things like that don't really cast in metal unless you fill in all the gaps and make it look worse.
