I am on the fence. I do like a lot of PP's alternate sculpts, however at the moment I am really only liking a few of these. I tend to like alternate sculpts that still fit into the setting...though sometimes I will paint a miniature just because it looks cool.
To be honest, the Swamp Horror falls into the 'looks cool' category for me and I like the Plaid Piper. Alten van Helsing and Bloody Bradigan will likely depend on how the actual sculpts turn out, but at the moment I am not super excited about those two. The others I don't care much for personally.
If I do wind up getting a subscription I will likely just eBay the ones I don't want to help offset the costs though so I voted 'yes' on the poll.

Although I'm in on the minicrate subscription, I must admit that I'd prefer they move away from the pin-up models to cool looking alternate sculpts. As I've suggested before, maybe a male Druid Wilder, or a unique looking warrior for a unit (like the SmogCon exclusive Hollowman). Something interesting to paint that could spice up the mix of models on the table, without necessarily only focusing on making sexy models.

I personally don't get the connection between small plastic gaming miniatures and sexy lady forms. I get how a picture or a drawing can be sexy. But our miniatures just... aren't. I don't see it.

I'm of the mindset, that rather than sexy gals or hunk guys, interesting sculpts should be the norm. Another sweet option would be a cool accessory sprue or other custom bits to add to jacks or beasts. Having average Jane's and Joe's would go a long way, such as drinking buddy troopers, a grizzled veteran trooper, a female Ogryn bokur, a female steelhead trooper sgt, they don't need to be sexy, busty vixens, they need to look the part and be interesting.

After looking at the price and the minis themselves, I am actually tempted to do so. Sure, it's a cash grab. But it's not much more expensive than buying a regular mini, and the Swamp Horror is actually a Large Base, right?

Just adding to the tally. I'm sick of the sex object, objects. They need to grow up. If they want to construe their legitimate work into sexy pinups they can create a deviantart account. >.>

Their legitimate work has always been sexy too.

Does anyone know if you can jump on partway through? Like, those first few models don't really hold my interest, but I'll definitely take an Alten Van Helsing and Harley Versh...

Yep, you can subscribe for individual months. Only perk to the 6 month subscription is saving 2 or 3 dollars and getting the weird sheepgorman.

And the "Bombardier Bombshell" wasn't overtly sexual, she was just a hardworking Khadoran girl chilling after work and letting off some steam *. *Pun very much intended.

But they really badly wanted to make that pun. Insight into future models: Gorman di Sea Wulfe (released) Gorman di Wulfe-in-Sheeps-Clothing (announced) Gorman di Boy-Who-Cried-Wulfe Gorman di Big-Bad-Wulfe (the male pinup)

I figured the male pinup version would have been Gor-man, Master of the Universe.
Don't forget Gorman, di Wulfe of Wall Street. Or when he finally works for Circle, Gorman di Warpwulfe.
