Another video?
Wow, this Infinty Week is getting better and better.
These videos are getting me super-hyped! Thanks for putting them out. I check the page every few hours so I don’t miss one 😀
Wow such amazing miniatyres! love the game
Kuroshi rider looks awesome
I love the new JSA Models. They are really beautiful sculpted.
There´s nothing better then playing with scifi samurai`s and beating the shit out of everyone 🙂
I started a year ago with Infinity and picked the JSA and therefore im really looking forward to lay my hands on the allready preordered new JSA-box.
Sadly one of the few missing modells of the JSA-Range is the O-Yoroi Kidobutai. Maybe you can help me here 😉
S
Oniwaban is the best
I like the Kaizoku Spec Ops best, probably the Daiyokai second. But there is no bad one there.
I prefer a white scheem on the Riuken girl chest, you know, looks like an armour.
Thankfully the miniature comes un painted so i can do it miself.
Yeah, I think I’ll do the same.
Minis otherwise look stunning!
I understand that but there is not to it than meets the eye… ha, ha! ^^
You realize she’s an hommage to The Major from Ghost in the Shell whose body is all the way artificial as are quite some at least partially in Infinity (thus their cubes)? And her most iconic scene was assaulting spies by dropping from a building ‘naked’ so her ‘skin’ going super cameleon made her completely invisible. This showing skin issue is clearly a nod towards that.
…and the troop profile does indeed have ODD.
I just love that.
*more to it; )
I was just looking at her and thinking a red headed Kusanagi. These little nods to other great works are really awesome. They even nailed the visor, now if only the JSA smg looked like the ones from the series that would even more cool.
*That being said the smg design is pretty awesome.
I love “catwoman”!
Are the Keisotsu hommages to persons or fictional characters as well? At the very least the female one seems so “real”.
They are literally the special team from Ghost in the Shell. The keisotsus, the Ryuken and the Kempeitai are all very inspired from them.
The red hair Ryuken is Motoko from the second volume instead of the dark hair of the original manga.
The concept designs are really amazing!
Woo more bikes
That cat theme 🙂
Love what Carlos had to say about the Dengekitai and its ceremonial touches being a “risk.” It is true that it would never need horns and flags, but it really adds to the visual appeal and makes it a very unique model!
You are right. But nobody “needs” ornamental things. Not even the ‘original’ samurai and daimyos of old. Although they had their uses beyond mere decoration. The “risk” in this case is, that avoiding clicheed elements like these is a distinct design feature in Infinity, and thus in adding this they break with a key element of their visual (and content) design. It’s the same with all the ‘hats’. It was a cool optional fun piece with the Shikami but now it’s all over the place and it is too comical for Infinity’s slick, cunning and hard near cyber future atmosphere.… Read more »
love the fee that look like they wear traditional sandals
Looks Awesome
The designs are brilliant. I must say I agree with Carlos completely my favourite bits of any of the models are the horns and flags on the daiyokai. The horns are from Japanese mythology belonging to demons and the flags are the back banners of the samurai and so for me it is a really strong link with the theme.
This scratches my Japanese itch so badly it hurts and it feels good.
I want a full force from ‘Unit 9’. That would make me so happy.
Just awesome, it’s gonna be really hard to top that daiyokai HI for me, though CB seems to continue to surprise me.
When you guys get the box, you’ll see the hidden surprise on the briefcase.
The concept art is always so rad
Celty from durarara,
The helmet will be yellow for me
Really like this popcultural crossowers.
Exactly what I thought!
Not really surprising that PanOceania would foment rebellion in the opposing Hyperpower.
