We’ve been Very busy here at HistoriFigs HQ. As such we’ve been a little too lax in posting news items. In attempt to get caught up I’ll now try and briefly summarize what’s new and what projects are in the works.
First up: with the costs of almost everything on the rise we will soon need to raise prices for most products and services. We will do our best to keep the price increases as small as possible, but when our costs rise by nearly 30%, as in the case of metal, we have little choice but to increase prices. The first price increase impacts postage or shipping costs. Each of our product websites has been updated to reflect our new postage pricing…
Next: We are nearly ready to re-release the Scruby Science Fiction figures. All of the masters have been located and as soon as we have an open slot in the mold pipeline these will receive a new mold. Once the new mold is ready the figures will be listed on both the HistoriFigs and Blasted Planets sites. And now, for a sneak peek at the Scruby 25mm Science Fiction miniatures:
On the Bloodaxe front we have some new 15mm Germans. This batch is wearing field caps rather than helmets. The patterns have been cast and they too are waiting in line for production molds. As soon as these are ready, the figures will be listed on the Bloodaxe Miniatures website. In the meantime, here is a small sampling of the new figures:
The 25mm Scruby Early Napoleonic figures are also waiting in line for molds. I’ve even added a few more figures to the list, so be sure to check back for more news concerning the release of the 25mm Early Napoleonic figures.
As I sat down at my painting table / workbench the other day I realized just how overloaded the table is with new products. To give you an idea of the figures waiting in the wings here is a short list for your reading pleasure:
N-Gauge Napoleonic Mounted Officers (figures are done, just waiting in line for a production mold)
There are several 54mm projects nearing completion (these are a grab bag mix, basically I grabbed a handful of figures that struck my fancy and have been working on master restorations). The plan is to release 4 to 6 (54mm) figures every month beginning in June.
On the 25mm front we have some long lost Colonials fighting there way back into production (some more cleanup and minor remodeling work remains).
For Blasted Planets, I’ve been working on some Cavalry figures. The first figures can be likened to Cossacks, but riding dino/lizard-like creatures rather than horses. I’m almost to the point where I’ll be able to share some preliminary pictures with you – but not quite, check back in a week or so for WIP pictures.
There is more, but we’ve covered enough for now, so I’ll warp thing sup for this posting and will try hard to get you another update next week…
