Oh well another fantasy girl .

Nothing for me, that's good, it saves money.

Not really a fantasy piece, more historical, seem to remember watching a documentry about an Amazon woman worrior that was dug up in the frozen tundra and they did fight bare breasted.

Could be, but was she an mongolian ?

In my humble opinion this is a very underwhelming and lacklustre release, and way below the usual high standards we've come to expect from Pegaso.

I don't think it's a particularly good sculpt, besides which she looks more like she's from Manchester than Mongolia.

Not one that I will be picking up.

Very disappointing. Really had my hopes raised when I saw the title, what a let down.

Come now Steve, it's a well know fact that genetically, Mongolians (particularly the women) are tall, thin, leggy and pale.

Having a thread of Mongol blood myself I know this to be a true depiction.

Hi Colin

You have blue-eyed, tough as leather, strong as an oak and as fast as a greyhound forgotten.
Or were the others?: ROFLMAO:: ROFLMAO:

Yep the burrial mounds were on the mongolian Steppes

Bit more about the true Amazons, not from south america or called Zena.

Bad news from Pegaso Models for 2012.:thumb down:

 

[Piotrec]

Nothing for me either. I give a plus to Pegaso for trying a different subjects, but unfortunately I think execution of this particular one is little bit below their standards.

Waiting for the next month release.

May seem unusual for a man to be complaining about, but why does having a female figure automatically mean that at least one breast needs to be hanging out. Kind of makes it hard for me to sell the artistic credibility of the Hobby to my wife and the desire to get any female figures when they are all flashing their breasts . I know a certain amount can be attributed to historical and cultural accuracy - but not nearly every single time. Pegaso is the worst offender. I'm just now getting into busts, and apart from their Elf Huntress - every other female bust have exposed breasts. Lets not forget their Pegaso Girls and Fantasy Range.

As I said, I know there's something wrong with a guy complaining about too many breasts , but sometimes it feels like they are insulting our intelligence by acting like they have to appeal to our base desires in order to sell female figures.

I for one appreciate a good figure (male or female) for the quality of the sculpt and the subject matter, not it's cup size - Please give me some credit !!!

Sorry - Rant over

Not my thing but every month can't bring something wonderful I guess.

I would have to agree with the negative on this one... I expect only the highest quality from Pegaso and this wasn't their caliber.

 

[Mark S]

Yoww!That must really hurt once she lets go of that arrow!!..

Ahhh Hendryk, We must have met before... you recognize me. Except you forgot "tall and leggy".

She might not make it as a busty female fantasy figure, or an Amazon ("a mazos", without a breast). The Amazons, with or without breasts are as mythical as Dionysus who defeated them, but there is certainly a long tradition of real female as well as male Mongolian archers that is only a Google away: http://www.atarn.org/mongolian/mn_nat_arch/mn_nat_arch.htm

ungly piece

Well Pegaso standards are so high, they are bound to have the occasional blip. Let's hope this is it for 2012.

My hopes were raised when I saw the title too, shame.

I can't see the competition tables groaning under the weight of these.
