youbastards Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Although, I cannot place Red's hair piece (not the hooded one). It seems familiar, but not.... So far, it isn't any of the pieces I thought it was either...new sculpt? Initially, I though it was Harada's: It looks like it is designed to sit over a chest cap. Quote
Onyx_6 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I was thinking it was Shanna's at first. It's a great looking piece; I would love to see this one reused a few times. I was a little disappointed that it doesn't quite fit with the cape on. Quote
Minimate-Maniac Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Red's hair is a reuse of Rictors hair. Quote

Nessex Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I very kind soul picked my up a Nissa from SDCC. I thought they were a little over-priced, but my fondness for translucent figures won out and i bought it anyway. I don't know how well her likeness was captured as i haven't read any of her comic appearances, but the figure itself is very nice. Clean lines, nice detail on the leaf bikni. The wings also went on a lot easier than i remember Wasps going on back in the day. Quote
bilbofett Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Did anyone buy these at SDCC, Zenescope is coming to Pittsburgh comic-con. And I was wondering if it would be worth it to get them there or just order them online.(factoring in gas, admission vs. shipping from site or ebay). Thanks Quote
buttheadsmate Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Regards the above......... These are currently unavailable from the zenescope shop. Quote
luke314pi Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Here is a new pic of the 4-pack: We have it up for preorder now, and it will be in next month's issue of Previews. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Luke............so 'Red' & 'Nissa' are exactly the same as the boxed pair ? Quote
dr baghead Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) aren’t those the wrong Red and Nessa or did they decide to re-use the solo-packs for the four packs? Also, after Pathfinder did such and amazing job making 8 unique characters from nothing but reuse these look extra cheap and boring, not to mention the fact they have the audacity to ask $10 for the singles and then make a four-pack that sells for full price with slight variants (if that?) of those same two characters... the whole thing just seems very amateur hour.

youbastards Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Well, at least this boxset answers the question of where all of the leftover single boxed inventory went when it disappeared from the online store. Quote
DSTZach Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 That is the wrong photo. Red and Nissa are different. New paint schemes. Quote
DSTZach Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Sorry, Luke, I don't know how you got the wrong photo. Sent you an update. Diamond has the updated one, that I can see. Quote
luke314pi Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Looks like Diamond has both photos posted for retailers still. I will update the one in our store tonight. I am glad to see the Minimates are different. Quote
Mysterious Stranger Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Not to go all "pervy" but the girl with the purple waist sash/skirt looks like she might have a little "Party Angela" going on, at least from what I can see of the waist piece under the sash. Looks to be flesh tone. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I mean this [mostly] light-heartedly but does anybody,anywhere, know [for sure] what's going on anymore ?? Quote
DSTZach Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I will tell Diamond to remove the secondary picture, I only saw the one. They will be just like we saw at SDCC, BTW. Protos have not changed since then. Nissa is opaque, Red has a different color outfit. Quote
MisterPL Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Just to compare and contrast: I think I prefer the convention versions better. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 They look quite nice but I can no longer fathom why the wing-holding piece is still necessary these days . Quote
Lobsterman Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 It does seem like there ought to just be a chest block piece with wing pegs at this point, doesn't it? Perhaps the stiffer (and thus more brittle) plastic used for the chest block wouldn't be as durable for the tiny wing pegs, resulting in a lot of sheared-off wings and complaints to customer service? Quote
DSTZach Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 They are different materials. Probably anything thinner than a shoulder peg is risky. Quote
TENIME_art Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 OMFG I am totally putting red hair on that opaque Nissa. POISON IVY. Quote
Captain Paco Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 TENIME_art, that is what I was thinking of doing with the opaque Nissa as well. I like the variation of the box set but I would like to get my hands on the convention versions but not at the prices on eBay. Quote
