@brigadier: I've thought of that as well. Might not be a bad idea. AshotNINJA : OK, more shooting poses it is. I'll be finalizing the poses in a few weeks, more to come then. **OFFICIAL NEWS** I'm happy to announce new pricing on our Heroic head sets. These new prices should give folks a better chance to enjoy what we're trying to here at Mad Robot. New sets are coming soon! -Steve |

Yeh, on the Cadian sprue you can do one firing and one running, then the rest all look a bit dull. It's one reason I much preferred the old metal ones in interesting poses.
Edit: Love the new pricing. Next lot of infantry I build will have Sadoukadi heads!

Steve, you just got yourself a customer. I pledge to you that I will send you some of my money (in exchange for bits, of course) once you've got enough bits to justify the shipping costs. It's got nothing to do with your prices or anything, just that I can't afford to pay for so many shippings. If the rest of your bits are as good as the ones you have on offer now, I will be buying many things.  |

Really cool stuff. I'm looking forward to future releases and I'll most probably be a client of yours  Ludovic |

Wow fantastic, I wish I'd thought I doing that, lol. I do have a down side to them, I have Cadians, somethings missing for them to fit in. And will I be able to buy the arms separately or do they only come attached to the body?

There are plans for arm sets without pads, with pads. and...a few others If you're not talking of shoulder pads, I'll need a little more info. The torso is there for size reference only. Torsos will be separate from arms. -Steve |

Glad to hear it and yes I was talking shoulder pads. Do we have a time scale for these being available?

Well, I just started with the arms so it will be end of November, start of December before they get up for sale. I once I get one set completed, it will be much quicker with the next ones. I'll post some updates for feedback as they progress over the next weeks.

Might have missed this one your website, and if so I apologize, but where is your company/shipping location based out of? I only ask because I definately think I'll pick up a few guns (and most likely the female bitz when you get those done) and I'm trying to guage shipping cost.

Madrobot: You rock  Another thing I don't currently like is the STC ethnicity of the 41st millenium. I wouldn't mind a bit of 'colour/color' in the form of heads, as Cadians/Catachans still look like white guys with great tans (or if I pick up bestial brown by mistake, fake bake....) Any chance of some heads with a carribean flavour? My guard army ain't got nuff natty dreds, ya hear? |

Bobulus: I have plans for power-glove arms. There will be 3 right arm poses and 3 left arms poses for a total of 6 options. I'm thinking I may just to a selection of sword and sidearms with the hands attached, as opposed to full arms. How does that sound? Ponen19: I'm in the NW suburbs of Chicago, IL. US shipping is a flat $6, regardless of how much you buy. 3ff3ct: I thought of that myself, maybe mixed in with normal head sets, maybe a sprue of plain, bald heads. As for the dreads...you're on your own Guys, I'm totally blown away by the input you're giving. I would like to remind folks that I am a one man operation right now. I only say this so you don't think I'm not delivering on these ideas, as some of them will take some time to get to market. If I can get some sales built up, it will help move things along but it's mostly a matter of being patient. Most of my days are spent in front of the computer trying to get as many things completed as possible. Please keep the ideas coming, we've got a lot of bits that need building! -Steve

As for the dreads...you're on your own There's a couple of companies that do standard afro-carribean heads already you see, and only one that I know of that does dreads. I thought it might be a nice niche for you |

Awesome! Low shipping cost means more money free for bitz! And don't feel too rushed or pushed too make anything. It's pretty cool that you're allowing a public forum like this to have so much input on your stuff, so I comend you're initiative to find out what the public wants instead of just making something and telling us to deal with it.

Here's a few sneak peaks of what I think will be among the next wave of releases: Boonie Hats  Colonial Defense Force  Plain Bare heads  Any thoughts? -Steve |

Like all 3, want left handed arms more than heads though.

I love the boonie hats, but maybe you could add thin straps on the sides? My own boonie hat has straps on the sides so that it won't fall off OR I can dangle it on my back. The second one doesn't really appeal to me. I feel it is too ... common? (I keep saying this, I know) No offense, but it doesn't look all that distinct from other heads. The last ones are interesting, not for what they are but for their potential. You can give them your spare cadian helmets, model hair on them, bandanas, whatnot. Since you're working on heads, you could consider going in different directions, offer up heads that nobody else has in stock. For instance, you could go with heads with kepis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kepi_mg_3387.jpg) or perhaps some peaked cap heads? ...That said, do you have plans for individual hats that you can put on bare heads? Listen to me, ranting on and on when you're busy already.  |
