Mack Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm not sure if I like the direction the scale is heading for infinity miniatures, but maybe I should hold off on getting combined army stuff until the Morat and Umbra Legates chibi version comes out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 It was a one-off. The community responded... shall we say, disapprovingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 So what I'm getting is that; 1) I shouldn't rush out and pick it up for $40 2) I might have to wait awhile for my chibi Combined Army proxy army with bobble head Avatar. That is unless Disney buys out Corvus Belli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wow, good model with a terrible head. If you sawed the head off and replaced with a normal size head, could have a fun model to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 The body is the problem, if you ask me... and the head isn’t quite right either. They’re clearly going for a super-deformed anime style, but only went about 50% of the way there with the face sculpt and only about 10% of the way there with the body. SD style isn’t just slapping a “bigger head and smaller limbs” on an existing design, it’s about targeted exaggeration of key features and a cartoony playfulness.

Dunno, I really don't like this style, but I can't exactly put my finger on what is wrong with it. This one (v) doesn't bug me, and it's basically the same thing.

Ish Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Here’s a good comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even gave her red pants/tights. For a fighting game game character, to have the art more focused on what matters in a fight, the tiny version seems like an overall improvement. Plus this one's head is much smaller than the infinity one. The Infinity is closer to Brain's oversized head. What's the value of the OP's infinity tiny version model vs the original? How does it improve? I'm not familiar with the base version of this infinity model, but I don't see how it improves anything. If anything, makes me think that with a much larger head, the critical threshold against this model should be improved to where critical hits are much more common.

Sgt. Rock Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Musashi has like three normal models, which are fine sculpts. This wasn't intended for game play, it was supposed to be a cute collector's edition thing that was just for fun. They usually release playable models at cons, and they were trying something different with this one. They've since gone back to useable models. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
