Title: Minibits now stocking Crossover Miniatures!

I'm very excited to announce that Minibits is now the exclusive UK stockist for Crossover Miniatures!

This fantastic range of high quality, customisable super heroes, villains, and minions can be used in any games you wish.  Crossover owner Rusti has got some cool things planned for the range, so keep an eye on the Crossover website for more details on that: http://crossoverminiatures.com/ (http://crossoverminiatures.com/)

I'll be taking these to all of the UK shows, starting with Colours on Sept 8th/9th.

So, check out the full range: http://www.minibits.net/Crossover-Miniatures-c25/ (http://www.minibits.net/Crossover-Miniatures-c25/)

Oh bugger... I was really hoping no one would stock these in the UK ......

Of course if they were available in 10mm  :-\

Cheers,

Kev

Tempting, but we'd need to sell getting on for 200 of each one just to cover the sculpting/moulding costs.

:o :D

Assuming that each figure has the three head variants included - this can give great variety across the whole range....like it  8)

Yep, certainly does!

Cool - how do the heads fit onto the bodies - are they just rounded at the base of the neck, or is there a ball / pin and socket?

There's a socket on each figure, then pins on the heads.  In theory, you could paint up all three heads, and switch them in and out depending on the game you were playing.  You'd only need to secure them enough to keep them on during the game.

Let me put it this way - I'm glad real life got in the way this week & delayed me bunging in my Minibits order - will correct that this weekend  :)

Crossover Miniatures is a hard name to take seriously. Sounds too much as if they go into action in drag, doesn't it?

Sounds good to me!

Just having a good look at the ones I ordered now - really nice figures, beautifully clean mouldings - and the spare heads are cool  8)

As Leon has said, it would be possible to paint all 3 variant heads for these & swap them out as required...I'm not going to do it, but you could  :)

Lovely - I can see these being a nice distraction in the near future...

Greetings

They looked nice at Colours but I didn't really have a need for them (to the extent one can ever 'need' a wargames figure of course).

Regards

Edward

Those look great Yorky - I shrunk the pic width a touch so they'd all show up on-screen without having to scroll over...hope that's ok  :)

Must get round to painting mine at some point too.
