here we are, the sample figure of the Valkyrie Battalion is up! If you paint this before the main kit releases (which I'm aiming for around the New Year, with luck!) and show me then I'll send you a discount code for that kit! cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

Watching the new season of Shark Tank and they managed to immediately become a parody of itself by having one of the pitches be Ball 2, the sequel to Ball, powered by AI. To really seal the deal, the ball 2's battery is not rechargeable or designed to be replaced.

If you missed out on the Boss Fight Studios Hellboy, there's a new pack that includes the figure and all the extra accessories

EE still has it for preorder.
