Better late than never! Although we had wanted these out at near the beginning of the month circumstances conspired against us and we're now getting the out here at the end of May.
Up in the store (http://www.wyrd-games.net/shop/) now are the four latest releases, Injun Joss, Marcus the Beastmaster, Sabertooth Cerebus (with a web only combo of the two to save money) and the new Catacomb Prowlers release, Dire Mushrooms!

And some additional pictures. The above ones were painted by James Wappel with the additional figures below painted by Cindy (Cdukino) and Hong (Stupidcow) for a bit of variety and a different take on the pieces.

Injun Joss (3) - full body, left hand and axe, left hand axes tube to back. We left the tube separate in order to facilitate ease of casting but is something that people can leave on or off per their desire. The right hand axe tube is part of the miniature but fairly easily modified if undesired.
Beastmaster (3) - three pieces, full body, both hands. Now we've also included with this an additional hand that doesn't have a flame coming from it as well as a machette which you can add or not per your desire. User option.
Sabertooth (5) - five pieces, three heads, body and right rear leg. All of them fit easily without pinning if desired and very little putty work as this one was socketed nicely by Steve Saunders.
Dire Mushrooms (4) - each is a single piece on its own, just there are four mushrooms to the pack. Keep in mind they are on a 50mm base which will give you an idea on their size.
As a side note, the purple one is my favorite. :D

I can say that the cerberus was a lot easier to put together than i iniatially thought he would be. It does indeed all fit together really well and no pinning is needed
Super stuff! Marcus has a great sense of menace to the sculpt, the cerebus is definitely a unique take on that, and I love those crazy mushroom guys!

I have to admit to not liking these ones (except the sabertooth). The leg positions seem ungainly to my eyes. Injun joss looks a little like hes been run over by a steam roller and those power cables don't look long enough to give him freedom to use the axes properly.
I really liked the concept pictures I just don't feel the sculpts have lived up to them this time round.

I must admit, I liked the last batch much more, esp. the Ice Witch. The sabretooth has a comic-book feel to it, which I donīt like (exaggerated proportions e.g.: It looks too uch like that Ice Age sabretooth for my taste. Heīs too lean for a proper tiger and the teeth are to big, even for a sabretooth)

I love Injunn cross (good candidate for TT!) and Marcus. The Cerberus I don't care for, but that's because I'm not a fan of the idea of a 3-headed cat. The mushrooms are awesome!

the little evil mushrooms would fit well with some chaos stuff for the gw fans..or possibly a alice in wonderland theme with maybe Kevs minis..
the 3 headed cat is interesting but again I have to agree cartoony like diago from ice age, still pretty cool..
injun joe might make a interesting shadowrun character..alltho sorta flat...
the beastmaster again another cool shadowrun type..
overall pretty good but I agree with alot of whats been said on the details compared to the last batch.course guessing what people will like is always a coin flip in the end.my 2 cents
