The Magnificent Seven Ride!

My Dead Man's Hand "The Seven" arrived, a little faster than expected (actually the same time as my Dracula's America Nickstarter Package).

Here are a few quick thoughts about the product, nothing spectacular - just my initial impression.


The packaging is great, OK - its just the regular flat large letter DVD box with wraparound art - but its fun and evocative. It sets the mood for the product within.

  

The Miniatures within were of good quality, though from the flash and the miscasts around two of the Seven's hats - you can tell the molds will need refreshing soon. The detail could have been a little crisper too - the excessive shininess of the models shows these were done during a run. Overall, I am very happy with them (I am an experienced hobbyist with many years under my belt - this is nothing for me to sort out) but a novice might find these a little daunting with the miscasts around the hat line. 


Seven standard 2mm thick MDF Bases are included (which is good, because thats my preferred basing standard) and a little rules card (I've blurred out the rules out of respect to Great Escape Games, all by blogs are "no spoiler" blogs) with the special Rules attached to each Model. A nice (and useful) touch here, would be to have each models name on the packaging - whilst if you are a fan of the original 1960 Movie (like I am) its easy to realize "who's who", but again to a novice it might be problematic.

Overall, 4/5 Stars - Excellent little package. I'm very happy.
