MERCS miniatures

[NAVARRO]

Hi folks I just received my Mercs miniatures goods and decided to post a little review about it.

First heres the link for the MERCS minis site.
Its a new company but i was really impressed by the looks of their first two minatures...

Dont be fooled by the 35mm miniatures sentence on title screen these are NOT that big and fit very nice with your 28 or 30mm ranges... dont believe me check the sizes at

https://www.mercsminis.com/scale.aspx

So now with introductions made heres my review.

I ordered from their site in the 6th of Setember and payed by paypall, they mailed it on the 8th and the minis traveled from the US to Europe/Portugal arriving on the 15th Setember... If thats not fast I dont know what is! Also it didnt got held at customs.

The minis came on a bubbled envelope wrapped in bubble sheet inside plastic zip bags. So all got here safe and not bended or broken... Although for those that like fancy artwork or design on blisters may be disapointed since theres nothing.
Once I looked at minis I was surprised how sharp they are... Mouldlines are very very small although one mouldline goes in the sniper miniature eye( not good) but the overall sharpness of cast, discreet mouldlines makes these miniatures a superb product.
The metal seems similar to GW one and is sturdy.
I tried to take some pics of the minis but taking photos of metal is very hard... although I think these shows how sharp castings are.

The sniper: comes with a base warmachine style, a backpack, sniper rifle and body.( 3 parts and 1 base)
The Heavy assault: Comes also with warmachine styled base, a backpack, amno feed, weapon and body. ( 4 parts and 1 base )

Overall I would give MERCS the following rates

Shipping handling 10/10
Blisters presentation 2/10
Minis quality 9/10

Superb minis with awesome futurisc look I cant wait for more!

thank You for the review Nav
I like the armoured one more than a sniper but I doubt I'll ever get it - although sculpts are very nice it's notally not kind of models I'm searching for now

I was looking at these guys just last week. This review convinced me to get them. Thanks.

And I thought they were both very good ones, Demi! Thanks for the review Navarro

Now I am almost sure getting them is only a matter of time...

Awesome , the more people buys these the more chances we have of getting new releases.

Theres not much scifi minis outhere, all its just to much fantasy... but what really got my attention was the quality of the sculpts ( the minis interact so well with their weapons that we can almost feel the weight of the weapons)
So after all those debates about originality of ranges and minis I can say these are what I espect from new companies... fresh and well sculpted stuff that actually adds something to the miniature panorama.

WOW, they seemed to be so much bigger than miniatures from other ranges - probably due to those large photos...

Definitely a lot bulkier than the average Infinity.
