Might as well take advantage of the fact i have a PC in front of me!
The long overdue Soda Pop Miniatures review. Soda Pop is a fresh company that released its signature figure “Candy & Cola” early October. From the art direction and universe background, it’s a very much an Anime styled Cyber punk figure collection. The second figure to be released “Maya” seems to follow this trend with a a large (and very pink) Bubblegum Crisis esq Mech design. No doubt this range will be popular with Wargamer/Anime fans or maybe even pull some of the Anime fan base into the Wargaming fold.
"Candy & Cola" yum
Candy & Cola (above) is the signature character for Soda Pop Miniatures and the figure is a limited run (100?) that had a side promotion with Coolminiornot. The figure seems to capture the Anime qualities without looking ridiculous, this is a great hurdle to pass as previous miniature companies have struggled to capture that “Manga” look without changing the perspective of sculpt. We can hope that the quality of sculpt continues as the range grows. As of today, Soda Pop Miniatures cast another load of the “Candy & Cola” figure with 46 in stock (better than last week which was 3).
"Pink Mech doom!"
First of all the green matches the art, it’s absolutely stunning. I can’t wait for this figure to become available (hopefully) this month if Soda Pop keep their promise of the 1 figure per month rule. Great concept, great sculpt. Nothing more I can really say about this one until I have it in my hands.
Soda Pop Miniatures have 2 more concept sketches on their site, all equally armed with big weapons are massive oversized Mech with guns (just the way we like it!). Finally there is a company that has nailed the Anime style on the head and brought it to 32mm scale form.
