Would anyone be interested in MWO sculpts of mechs?

I have to echo that I think that redesigning the old mechs from the ground up would be good for the game.  Most of the people I get interested in Battletech like the game, but don't like the minis, and for good reason, 90% of them simply don't hold up well aesthetically to what other game companies make. I have one friend that bought the intro box, then *gave away* all the minis except the two clan mechs, because he didn't like how they look.  It seems like most people who are buying the box set are people who are already fans of the game.  Having miniatures that look the way BT minis do keeps the game from being as well-received as it deserves.

So true, I also gave those minis away. 

ps. That commando looks extremely good. If they keep this up, then I would like to have a set of the Mechs in the game. But that would require high quality molds.

I don't think anyone is saying they should make the classic designs unrecognizable from what they were... I think a lot of people are saying they could stand to be re-sculpted with more detail and better proportions in  some cases.

Precisely.

Hmmm, the new Commando looks like its wearing a Games Workshop Imperial Karskin helmet.

I agree with you on the Project Phoenix reboot, but I always wanted a Crusader that looked like one in the original TRO, with the spike on the head.

It was alternatively an antennae or weapon barrel.  It was never merely a "spike."

Funny because in my opinion the old 3025 designs are much more timeless and dare I say classic than some (not all mind you) of the new(ish) designs. I am not a huge fan of the "huge and boxy" look with ... strange ... proportions which was introduced with MWDA. But that's just me ... *shrugs*

Heh, that's because we're old men who happen to like the original source material for the Unseen 3025 designs.    :P

*DING DING DING*  exactly!

I think it would be really cool to release some or all of the MWOnline mechs in miniature form.

It might really help to boost sales if purchasing them in RL would give us a code to unlock something in MWOnline itself.

Make it a real tiein...;)

I would love to see them in highly detailed BattleForce size.

would like to second that.

Absolutely.  The smaller the better (with good quality, of course).
