I'm still going to use them, but I'm certainly disappointed. I ordered 15mm miniatures and got 20mm miniatures. And I am one who finds the "are these in scale" discussions tedious -- but this is ridiculous. <br /><br />"Steve was up front with me about the height issue". I wish the order page had been as up front!Nicholas Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750294903050480971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-47933979131620229152011-11-04T01:34:25.537+00:002011-11-04T01:34:25.537+00:00Hi Steve

You should know that you can take it as a compliment that I am so disappointed.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-35987227770150538802011-11-03T23:18:50.997+00:002011-11-03T23:18:50.997+00:00@Mark: I am thinking your comments are aimed at th...@Mark: I am thinking your comments are aimed at the industry in general but, for as much as Mad Robot is concerned, I can promise you that it was a mistake on my part and will not happen again. It certainly wasn't done deliberately and I hope you'll give a new company like Mad Robot Miniatures a chance to make good on our next release.The Mad Robothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837688493939678599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-23243787997857156412011-11-03T22:37:06.792+00:002011-11-03T22:37:06.792+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Mad Robothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837688493939678599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-78554320917356597262011-11-03T21:44:48.645+00:002011-11-03T21:44:48.645+00:00These new Mad Robot miniatures look beautiful.

I would love to have been able to say - these are THE 15mm Sci Fi miniatures I've been waiting for since I received my first Traveller box set of rules back in the late seventies. Unfortunately though they are obviously NOT 15mm.<br /><br />Sure we can rationalise, create a back story or simply make excuses for the height difference in human miniatures. But I resent this reliance by manufacturers on the customer accepting what I see as 1) lazy sculpting or 2) a deliberate marketing ploy.<br /><br />Because of that they have been relegated from a MUST HAVE, purchase two platoons at least and my first Sci Fi purchase in 6 months, to OK, I MAY try two packs some time next year.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-65643435317423322392011-11-03T12:12:13.541+00:002011-11-03T12:12:13.541+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-4364399508041929292011-10-24T02:15:50.239+01:002011-10-24T02:15:50.239+01:00Just say they're wearing a light powered armou...Just say they're wearing a light powered armour suit; I'd rather have new released compatible with the older ones than compatible with another line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-60707282469841235862011-10-23T23:23:39.050+01:002011-10-23T23:23:39.050+01:00Hmm strange that they turned out so tall, wonder i...Hmm strange that they turned out so tall, wonder if it was a miss communication between Steve and the sculptor? nice looking figures though, I will buy them anyway.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499495967206208750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-66568099159314742322011-10-23T21:41:39.297+01:002011-10-23T21:41:39.297+01:00@SpaceJacker - that's not a bad idea... twin p...@SpaceJacker - that's not a bad idea... twin pistols, or a pistol and some kind of comms device.

It may be a bit different if they are on the same side but I use some 10mm aliens as small troopers so why not some genetically modified troopers more elemental than van-dam!<br /><br />But even so they do look cool:)<br /><br />Cheers Mattcomstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113465913200361130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-86626541351220656902011-10-23T15:48:12.544+01:002011-10-23T15:48:12.544+01:00I think these would look great as some alien force...I think these would look great as some alien force.
