prisingly little metal to clean off, and that goes for mold lines too. In fact, cleaning is by far the easiest part. Assembling this man eating lady is another story. Luckily it is well engineered, and the joints are relatively deep and provide enough surface are on the mating surfaces to make for good joints all around. Of course being the model that it is, it still probably won’t withstand the “falling off the table” test. Even though this figure takes a little time and effort to put together, I still have to say that it is my favorite model this issue. Name: 060901 Theja Doris the Martian Princess Sculptor: Patrick Keith MSRP: $ 4.99 Here is a model that brought back some old memories. I imagine some might look at this model and wonder where the “Martian Princess” part comes from. Well I guess it might date me, but I recognized her right away (of course the name game helped). I used to love the Martian Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and I was always captivated by the beautiful Martian Princess that the hero of the series (who is an earthling naturally) is also captivated by her beauty. Her name was Dejah Thoris. This model is about exactly what I had in mind when I was reading those books all those years ago. My hat is off to you Patrick. The model is a one piece solid cast model, and comes with a round slotta base. There are a few slight mold lines, but other than that she was perfectly clean of unwanted metal of any sort. This is another model that you should check out under a magnifying glass, the detail is just marvelous. By the way, this race of Martians is tanned or pink skinned in the series, so don’t go painting this beauty with green skin. The green ones are a whole lot uglier and have four arms. Name: 061001 Tallah the Swordmaiden Sculptor: Patrick Keith MSRP: $ 4.99 Tallah is a single piece solid cast model and she comes with the standard round plastic slotta base. At first glance I thought this model might have some strength issues since her arms look rather slight and each is holding a hefty looking sword. But after a little testing, I was surprised that the metal is plenty rigid, so it would take an intentional effort to bend either the 68
sword, or her arms. I could only find a couple traces of mold lines under her arms, but there are a couple of support posts (one on each sword hilt) that attach to her legs and these will need to be cut away and cleaned off. Besides that she is a very clean model with very sharp and vivid detail. I could see her doing well as a two weapon fighter or a ranger in a fantasy roleplaying game. Name: Sculptor: MSRP: Reviews by Mark Theurer & Clay Richmond 8200, 8201, 8202 High Elf Spearman Tom Meier $ 3.50 each 8201 practice of Thunderbolt Mountain, the hands of the models are cupped, so that the weapon fits into the hand anywhere along the shaft. This means that if you wanted, you could easily substitute a different weapon into that same hand (perhaps a sword for the leader). All the models have excellent detail and are crisp and clean with hardly any cleanup work on any of them. In fact, if it wasn’t for the few tabs on the spear and shields (they are originally cast on sprues) there would be no clean up work needed at all. The spears are very slender, so they are easily bent and will probably have to be straightened when you first get them. Besides that, there are no strength issues once the model is assembled (the fingers of the cupped hand can also be bent if you are not careful, but after assembly they are no longer an issue). Two of the stances have the Spearman marching forward as if in formation where the third has his spear and shield in at the ready as if ready to strike (these are the ones I’m guessing you put in the front rank). If you are doing formation battles, getting a package of 20 of these will definitely give you your moneys worth. These three models are all different poses of High Elf Spearman. A neat thing that Thunderbolt Mountain does is that if you like a particular pose, you can buy six of the same pose for the discounted price of $14. Or, you can just get an assortment of 20 Spearman (random poses) for the really discounted price of $35. Each of these three models comes in three pieces, and they each have a metal base that is cast as part of the model. In each case the pieces consist of a long spear (and I mean long, it measures almost two and a quarter inches long), a shield (all three are different), and an Elf Spearman. All the pieces are 8200 interchangeable, though the spears are all the same, so it there is not much point in interchanging them. But as is the 69 8202 Reviews by Clay Richmond
