Gladly will plop down some cash for a model.

Don't forget the Panther and Wolfhound variants.
And the Football Atlas.
Wait, by all means DO forget that one.

Just be glad it doesn't have all the spikes and tusks that the Dark Age mini had. It was truly a mech for the post-apocalyptic Australian Outback.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Kuma done by Scroggins & team.

Somewhat related, check out Sleeping-Demons DeviantArt page for some Mech pixel art (including a Kuma 2).

We absolutely do. Need more industrials.

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #1296 on:** 21 November 2023, 08:33:50 »

Speaking as someone who has at least two of every IndustrialMech mini - yes.

No, don't forget that, looks nice! (Also needs spikey-bits as an option for MWDA-looks.)

Could we add the Hierofalcon Prime and Jade Phoenix arm sprue to the store?

I'd get one just to paint it up like a Futurama Robot.

How about the Hermit Crab?

A special holiday 2023 promotion, the Wasp and Valkyrie will be on available on IWM webstore for two weeks only, from Saturday December 9th thru Friday December 22nd.

Prometheum5 · « **Reply #1304 on:** 09 December 2023, 15:14:30 »

Ok that's a pretty cool surprise! Just a quick note, the Valkyrie link seems to go to the Wasp page.

Xan · « **Reply #1305 on:** 09 December 2023, 15:22:51 »

And I thought I was done spending money on minis for the year....

Cool to see those molds are still available. Is there a reason they are typically taken out of circulation? If that is not something that can be answered no worries.

I was wondering about that too. The Wasp disappeared right at the beginning of the decisive lawsuit and never really came back, I don't even know if the Valk made it to stores.

Sartris · « **Reply #1308 on:** 10 December 2023, 02:02:30 »

It did not. Con exclusive

Valkyrie never got released, was just finished when Wasp was pulled.

Thanks, speck. Are they "vaulted" now due to limited demand or is there another reason you can share?

I think it was more of a case that they didn't match the new artwork.

Oh, OK, so they were early models that underwent some changes later? Understandable.

Speck could give you the official answer, but those two minis came out before the Kickstarter redid all the Macross-dervived mechs and used different art.

Alex Keller · « **Reply #1314 on:** 13 December 2023, 16:48:39 »

Yes, there was a time when it appeared CGL was willing to use the Dougram art and authorize miniatures with very similar design to the old 1980s minis, but then the final Harmony Gold lawsuit paused further activities until that was resolved.

They came out before the first KS like the Shadow Hawk, but were pulled / not released when the lawsuit happened. They are based on the same art as the CGL minis.

Must be something with the angle or lighting of the images, then, because they look similar but different to my plastics.

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #1317 on:** 14 December 2023, 17:42:02 »

There were some minor alterations between some of the designs that appeared in the Combat Manuals and First/Second Succession War and the versions in the Kickstarter, which probably accounts for it.

Just want to call out the good people at IWM again. My Black Friday order arrived yesterday. Which, given I'm in Australia, is pretty spiffing good! Thanks again, IWM crew!
