August: Maxiumus look good - at first I thought its the new Optimate - but I think I will not use him. The Ninjas are very nice resculpts, I will get them. And Draikos - traitor stuff I don´t like and will not use.
Damn the Ninjas look fantastic. I thought they were going to ignore JSA for a while. I needed other troops a lot more but these are very cool looking. Darkios is pretty cool. Max is... ok. Something about him looks very plain though. It could be the angle. I'd like to see his sheild.
For Maximus, I'm not convinced at all by the paint scheme. Not sure if it's the color that fits well for Aristeia but seems off for Infinity.
Ninjas look amazing. Just continuing a legacy of incredible sculpts for them. Awesome. Drakios looks okay. Not sure how necessary the S5 was, but whatever, he's solid. Standard 'gun in the air, sword or pistol pointing ahead/rested, bent knee on tactical rock' pose that is essentially the standard pose to expect for any Infinity model at this point. Maximus... woof. Hideous.
Agreed on all three points. Drakios... I guess they decided to cut a few points off him (by increasing the Silhouette, which is a handicap after all) - also, fluff-wise, IIRC, he had a tendency for overeating (mentioned in his original fluff). Apparently he went all-in on his sweet tooth... ;)
It's probably the paint job on Max. His face looks different from the TAG. Minimax is ok. I think it should have been bigger. Not only is it a repeater but has CC21 with DA CCW.
I am kind of disappointed in Minimus. He looks too much like a Tinbot (specifically the Jannisary Tinbot). He definitely doesn't look a threatening as he should. Maybe a conversion with a Max head would do it... The ninjas are awesome. And Drakios looks imposing.
My only gripe with Drakios is the sword, too fantasy for my taste. I might try to replace it with something. Maximus/Minimus... I guess it's proxy and conversion time XD
Minimus has double duty as Tinbot for his Fto profiles. Considering that Maximus's CC threat comes from fisting alone its only natural that his lil pal would do the some for some double fist action. Cmon CB: Long Wang, Dikpals, and fistymus and yet new battle nuns are no longer kinky.
The figures in Hexadome look great. The Maximus is the same size as the TAG Max but on a smaller base.
I have reports that the unicool used for the figures is not on par with the quality on the infinity ones
It's not Unicool. It's a plastic PVC. The video shows a Max vs Max. It looks as good or better than siocast but not as good as unicool.
Ninjas are indeed awesome, what a way to see the sniper making a comeback. Highly unlikely for Unicool to be done as a batch run as it is an investment to do the moulds, not sure on the type of plastic and the quality, but I am sure we will know soon enough once the kits are out in peoples hands.
It seems Unicool can also produce PVC via secondary company. Apparently Ramper was offered that for Acheron. So it's PVC, but "made" by Unicool, as claimed by CB MK dept. PS: Ninjas are uber cool, the pricing not so much
