Since this comes up frequently ... here are the Elfball figures in the works at some stage.
(note:
in concept means partners have discussed making the figure but sketch work has not begun
sketch in means a sketch of the figure is in but no sculptor assigned
on desk means that a sculptor has agreed to work on it and is in process
at caster means that a finished green has been sent to the caster for production
Black Widows Widowmaker (1 at caster)
Deadlings/Samhaino Deadwood (1 at caster)
Deadling Monster (1 at caster)
Deadling Vampire (1 at caster, 2 sketch in)

Can we assume that one of the Bombs or a football could also fit into the Empty Treasure chest?  |

I'm curious what some of these teams are going to look like, but at this point there is not a team (all 17) for Elfball that I don't have some interest in. Especially those that start with the letter S or T.
I'm in for the two team deal at GenCon. |

At GenCon we'll have these teams fully in stock:
Black Widows
Deadlings
Desert Dogs
Divine Wind
Gnolls
Night Elves
Pharaohs of Vikhtora
Razorbacks
Valkyries
... that leaves us with 8 teams to finish. However 5 of those 8 have Grandma Wendy figures that you could use. Only the Gnome, Samhaino, and Siringit are difficult to use alternates for (although I guess you could use MechWarrior figs for the Contraptions (which were destroyed during casting and need redone) ... the Gnomes did cast okay).

live and learn.
Alex made the contraption skeleton out of plastic which melted and then the 2.5 ton press crushed the hollow figures. The arms, legs, and cockpits survived ... so Alex just needs to redo the 2 bodies. which he will be doing soon.

hmmm I guess stuff like that cant be helped
I guess on the plus side the contraptions will be of a better standard due to him having more experience etc |

Okay one sneak peak at one of them. I find two many sneek peeks and our sales completely die out because folks just start doing the "I won't buy anything from Impact! until the new stuff I saw coming is out" ... which kills our ability to make the new stuff.
But here is one sneak at one of the Sacros Midfielders.

Interesting, it looks good, but I'm not sure it's for me, depends on what the entire team looks like when completed. Any thoughts on who might be sculpting him?
Also, what exactly will the Night Elf team comprise of? Will it just be multiples of the two different sculpts? |

Does it help your thought process to know that there is a giant Croc player and 4 little crocs that go with this figure and his 5 brothers?
| Quote: | | Any thoughts on who might be sculpting him? | We are trying to beg Victoria Lamb to do them.
| Quote: | | Also, what exactly will the Night Elf team comprise of? Will it just be multiples of the two different sculpts? | The Night Elf team is composed of 2 copies each of the Night Elf, Night Elf Hunter, and Imps 1 through 4.
