Kabuki Shrink Down Their Star Vixen To 35mm
February 16, 2016 by dracs
Kabuki Models recently came out with a 75mm model they named the Star Vixen, a hot woman dressed as a trooper from a galaxy far, far away. Since then, they have received requests to make a smaller version and have just shown off the brand new sculpt.
For the 35mm version, Kabuki have gone for a rather more practical stance, rather than the dramatic run-way model posing of the original.
This makes me think that, as well as a good collector's piece, it could be used as a game piece.
Which version of Kabuki's Star Vixen do you prefer? The original, or the upcoming 35mm version?

Looks really good.
Aaaaaaand boob plate armour comes to Star Wars. Err… yay?
Boob plate arnour oh no the world is falling apart lol
I hardly said that the world is falling apart. Rather I expressed exasperation at yet again encountering ‘boob plate’ – a tired trope in model making and fantasy/sci fi art in general that, in addition to its role in the misogynistic depiction of women, is also simply sadly lacking in originality or any kind of artistic merit. People with the skill to create renders like these can and should do better, if only as a matter of pride in their craft.
How do you know they don’t have pride in their craft? Psychic powers?
Include boob plate, and you play a role in the hatred of women, have no originality, and no artistic merit. Thats a pretty harsh assesment.
No psychic powers required – the evidence is right here before our eyes. The technical skill required to create a render of this general quality is not insignificant by any stretch of the imagination, and yet it embraces a pandering and sexist depiction of women. I am having a hard time accepting that whoever created this render is incapable of doing any better, so that leaves three real options:- 1) Laziness, 2) A sexist aesthetic that speaks to a deep seated and toxic attitude toward women, 3) Or a simple preparedness to put the imagined profitability of ‘T & A’… Read more »
(No psychic powers required – the evidence is right here before our eyes.) Your eyes. Clearly you have mystic vision that can see beyond. Rafiki would be proud. ( The technical skill required to create a render of this general quality is not insignificant by any stretch of the imagination, and yet it embraces a pandering and sexist depiction of women.) Opinion. I will assume you’ve never met the artist, so you have nothing to support this statement other than leftist theory.

Our eyes… unless you somehow can’t see the renders at the top of this post? The rest are reasonable inferences given the juxtaposition of a complex artistic style of the render with a needlessly sexualised depiction of the female subject. I have never met the artist, but isn’t the point of art at least in part that it speaks for itself? Is it not at its most base level a form of communication of ideas, opinions and feelings? To create art is to make a statement, and what this piece appears to be saying is rather unflattering. I find it… Read more »
Nothing misogynistic about a little resin woman, If you don’t like it don’t buy it.
That depends entirely on how that little resin woman is sculpted and presented, and while I wouldn’t give such a sexist model shelf space, my refusal to buy such a models does nothing to mitigate its misogynistic character.
Furthermore, candidly if you don’t like my feminism, progressive and what I have to say, then you don’t have to read my comments, now do you?
Then don’t fucking buy it. There’s plenty of other minis you can buy, no need to whine every time you see ones you don’t like. You’re talking out of your ass also, like claiming the artist should do better (to please you it seems) and that the artist has no pride in their craft. You must teach us mortals how you can read the minds of artists making renders, I’m sure we could all benefit from it.
Try actually reading my posts with something approaching comprehension before you start frothing a the mouth and molesting your keyboard next time, okay?
Just say no to keyboard abuse…
Okay, that was mean. Let’s just say that I get a lot of flak for simply insisting that women might be viewed as more than interchangeable and disposable sex objects, in fiction, art and day to day life, and it makes me ratty after a while. Apologies to @panzerkanzler.
Prefer the original but ya the new one will look good on a gaming table.

Its in spanish, but as you can see, they are real armour special for women.
The only that bothers me, are the rights to produce a “far away galaxy” miniatures.
