Soda Pop Miniatures Gives Us A Hint At Their Next Project
November 12, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Soda Pop Miniatures latest Kickstarter, Super Dungeon Explore: Legends ended today with nearly $1.3 million raised. With all of this excitement and thoughts of mountains of chibi miniature goodness and what adventures lie ahead for all of us stalwart adventurers, there comes a sly little message with an interesting picture.
The phrase on the picture "See you next time Space Cowboy" and the name Rail Raiders with a cowgirl with futuristic pistols is leading a lot of the comments to believe we might be seeing some kind of Sci-fi western game from Soda Pop Miniatures in the near future.
My only request is can they give us some time to let my bank account heal? I guess I should just hand over my bank card to them, it would be easier. I wonder if I can write them off on my taxes as a dependent?
W hat is your theory on what this could be?

I think of one thing when I read that: a little ship named ‘Bebop’.
My first thought as well. If it’s gonna be train robbery, it needs to reference Firefly, not Cowboy Bebop.
Actually I think it is going to be reffing more off Galaxy Rangers, Brave Star and the like* more than either Cowboy Bebop or Firefly, which is a good thing since the former isn’t really a Sci-Fi western setting particularly (I suppose you could count it, but it really is more of a Sci-Fi pulp setting with a few western references here and there) and the later had too many logical flaws as well as inconsistency issues for what it was supposed to be. *(I say like because I know there is an Anime set in the Captain Harlock universe… Read more »
Well, don’t forget Trigun- if you’re looking for Science Fiction and Western mash-ups. Actually, the two genres are pretty closely linked- the science fiction action film replaced the western when our society realized that the Native Americans that the heroes were killing with impunity were actually oppressed people. So, now we have our heroes kill aliens instead. Firefly, and especially the film Serenity, has a lot of comments on the genre- it acts as something of a move through the classic to the revisionist western (especially with the portrayal of the Reavers, and the reveals in Serenity). It definitely earns… Read more »
@fleshtuxedo let the cat out of the bag at GenCon: “Rail Raiders is a mash-up of sci-fi and classic Westerns in which the players assume the role of “space-train robbers,” competing with each other and with the “lawdogs” defending the trains. The game system is designed to be easy to learn and fast-playing. The box will include more than 30 Soda Pop miniatures, 100 game cards, 10 custom dice, 18 train car tiles, and game tokens. The game will be for 2 – 4 players, and plays in about an hour. Rail Raiders will be funded through an upcoming Kickstarter… Read more »
Oh, how I hate chibi style!
Sorry, but that’s the truth!
I accept your apology….
Thanks! 🙂
I love chibi and wish all minis had chibi versions of them in all games 😛
Oh, man how I want to see Privateer Press create a chibi Commander Stryker! Or Haley, Denegra, Nemo, Sorscha… man, I’ve spent to long thinking about this.
Dang, now I want to see that too.
They could do it! It’d be way cooler than their other joke minis that they sell at cons.
They practically have the artwork laid out for them with some of their pins.
