Skulls Minis Turn Goblins Into Awesomely Charming Superheroes!
February 11, 2015 by brennon
Skulls Minis have taken to IndieGoGo to show off some amazing Goblins that have caught the superhero bug as bad as we have in our world. See what you think of these charming and characterful Gobzheroes!
As you can see they've drawn on a whole bunch of both Marvel and DC heroes as well as a few others to create these awesome pieces. I love the inventive ways in which they've tweaked the traditional looking heroes and given that goblin spark. Big Red is pretty awesome as is Dragon'Gob.
Kicking things off on this side we have the very cool looking Gob'Tectiv who has something of the Hellboy about him and it's hard to say no to the awesome comedic Hammer'Gob. I think of all of them, even the ones above, the Tree'Troll is my favourite. I really loved Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy film and no doubt he will be a massively sought after model even after the fundraiser has ended.
If you want an idea of scale you can see them all measured up here against each other. I think this is a pretty awesome collection and perfect if you're a painter looking to pick up a very interesting and individual project.
Big thanks by the way to aegolius for pointing us towards these!
Which hero do you like the look of most?

Awesome stuff.
Big Red is so cool.
I hope that the campaign will unlock the whole Gob’vengers team.
I’m sure this has been on Indiegogo before. I really don’t need these, but I’m still very tempted.
Looks like it was only five weeks ago that it first went on. I wonder what happened?

Problems with Marvel but they’ve found an agreement

Marvel asks them to change some things on their miniatures (mainly the colors had to be changed, and the “Grumpy’gob” claws had to be modified, reason why they write “new blades incoming”)
Thanks :). And my apologies for fat finger negative karma 🙁
I fixed your fat finger 😉
We’re gamers/collectors, we don’t need any of it… Shiny syndrome.
lol I need a Tazzer’Gob:

They are adorable!
Those are really neat and funny idea.
That Ironman gob would be a perfect leader form my mek/goblin army in 40K.
epic guest stars for your “No country for old kobolds” campaign!
