This may be the model that gets me to buy. That said, i wish they'd stop with the "clearly two handed ranged weapon held, also with a good sized melee weapon drawn". No one in their right mind would unsling a crossbow like this and hold a sword out of any known guard position. It's a minor stylistic thing, and i realize i'm being anal retentive, but good lord this drives me crazy. I actually like pose B the best though. I have mostly ignored mini crate up until now: what's my deadline to decide and buy ? April 15? EDIT: Nevermind, its literally in the article. 4/19.  |

I think I'll pick this one up. Even if I end up never fielding Alten, the model's still pretty cool and I'd use it as a role playing mini for sure.

This is a pretty sweet model. And once again, it's a model I don't have the original version of. Pretty win-win for me!

Yep, that'll get me to subscribe for a month, at least. I haven't liked any of the other sculpts.

Just saying, this is one of the few good sculpts, arguably the best next to ashylyn. Haight you know, his pose is really screaming ANIME to me. Like seriously, only an anime character can wield weapons like that and walk with such swagger  |

It is literally the only anime my Japanophile friends have made me suffer through that i can honestly say was excellent). |

Have you seen Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon or Trigun (this one starts out lighthearted but gets dark as you hit the second half)? |

The titles I could add as great shows to watch with those 3 are staggering... |

Love him. getting him. Needed an Alten Ashley anyways, and this one is ridiculous in an awesome way.

I personally would have gone with the current pose, but with B pose's lantern, but I suppose this works too. It certainly looks good.

Have you seen Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon or Trigun (this one starts out lighthearted but gets dark as you hit the second half)? Saw Trigun: first 2/3 was excellent - last 1/3 was positively insufferable. The entire storyline with Knives not only changed the overall tenor of the series, but the transition was rather abrupt. The series felt like it could not figure out if it wanted to do comedy or drama, and ultimately only ended up doing one well. Cowboy Beebop was fairly decent - the parts i enjoyed most were just the crew Firetrucking around on the ship. The character development was good, the overall plotline i found a little thin. Unforgotten Fridge was a great episode. Never saw black lagoon - in fact, the next "oh you have to try this" anime, and the final one i agreed to watch, was Wolf's Rain which made the last 1/3 of Trigun seem downright pleasant to watch by comparison.  It's just not my thing, and i'm okay with that, I am not shitting on the entire genre, but just as Trance music takes skill and is art, i'd personally rather listen to alleycats caterwauling and mating than spend an evening with it as my background music. |

If you thought Bebop was fun Samurai Champloo(same company, several of the same voice actors) is also very, very good.
