If you're in Wargaming, you've heard the three classic "female model" arguments before. The first is whether or not female models should be made "realistic" or "fantastically proportioned." The second is whether or not either of those is objectifying/degrading/inappropriate, and the third is that female models generally undersell, as they are only collected by female gamers and certain slightly disturbed members of the male gaming community.
While I intend to try to step around the political landmines of those first two questions, for what it's worth I always felt the third was generally a cop-out. Quite frankly, many of the female models on the market are simply not as well sculpted as some of their male counterparts. Now, there could be a lot of reasons for this ranging from a lot less experience crafting female forms in small scale, spending less time and effort on a model less "likely to sell", to literally not needing to try as hard to be on par with the competition.
Raging Heroes is changing that.

They've launched a Kickstarter called "The Toughest Girls in the Galaxy," targeted at bringing three all femme fatale armies to light. This first Kickstarter is an attempt to jump start their company into full-fledged production, and allow further development of their gaming world, to eventually include it's own game system. The units they will be releasing will be predominantly resin, with some of the heroine models in white metal. There are three independent factions.



Now, as far as support... this thing funded in thirty seconds. Thirty. Seconds. It struck $300K in the first day. Over 1300 backers at the time of this printing. So, You're going to have to forgive them if they're a little slow on updating us with examples of the unlocked models... nobody ever plans for a 2,500% success on the first day. I'm sure this wasn't even in their wildest dreams.

As far as freebies on this one, thus far there is one freebie model announced and unlocked, but it requires a bid of $95 to get it. Other than that, while the models seem appropriately priced, this isn't a "giveaway kickstarter"- this is a company trying to increase their line and get start up funds. I'm sure as it goes along there will be more rolled out, but if you want to back this, don't expect it to be a Reaper/Mantic style kickstarter with the "free model of the day" unveiled regularly. If you're looking for a "buy one get two free" Kickstarter, this isn't your bus stop. However, if you're looking for an original Kickstarter for some truly inventive feminine models of the highest quality, this is definitely one to pledge on. A bunch of our regular readers and contributors are already talking about this one, and I know MBG has been really big on their products of late, and that man knows quality when he sees it.
Will this continue to skyrocket and surpass the mythical $1M mark? Will it peter out and basically limp along for thirty days having blasted its gas all on a whirlwind one night stand? I guess we'll all have to keep out eyes peeled to find out!
