November 21, 2019 by brennon
Knight Models has been discussing the process they have been going through when it comes to developing the materials used for the different models in the Batman Miniatures Game.

The big focus here has been on developing a material which both holds a lot of detail but also provides you with a lot of reliability and flexibility to make sure you don't get lots of broken models when you're transporting them around.
"For this new box, we’ve been working behind the scenes to improve our plastic production. We’ve not only upgraded our manufacturing process, but also the materials we work with. Our new plastic manages to be both more robust and hold higher detail than ever before.
We are very happy with this change, and we can’t wait until you guys can hold the fruits of our labours in your hands – we hope you’ll love the new miniatures as much as we do!"
As always the proof is in the pudding but we're getting a good vibe from what we're seeing here. In fact, if you head over to Facebook you'll see a little snippet of them tinkering around with Batman's cape.
Are you impressed with what Knight Models have been offering?

Love the bats.
That Batman looks like me trying to work out which end of the divet the buttons are.
Their Metals were superbly cast but their recent plastics didnt wow me.
Really curious on the level of quality we will get. Metals are so frustrating to work with so the switch to plastic is big plus.
Hopefully this latest plastic/resin material makes for a less brittle mini. Their dynamic posing and slender pieces had some problem sculpts in 2nd edition so it’s good to hear they are working on it and acknowledge the issue.
If you check out the video on Facebook (linked above) they fiddle around with Batman’s cape in a manner I wouldn’t have tried haha – but it does look a lot more stout.
Yeah it’s promising, but then my Enchantress bends at the ankle when touched but I wouldn’t call it reassuring!
Holy confusion Batman!! I thought they had switched to resin only? The article reads like they have been using plastics for a while? Or are they classifying their resins as a plastic?
I have the game and the resin models are horrible to work with.
