Supergirl Leads A Cast Of New DC Heroes & Villains From Knight Models
March 10, 2017 by brennon
Knight Models has announced their selection of releases for this month. We're starting off with the additions to the DC Universe Game with Supergirl making an appearance alongside Aquaman.
Supergirl does look rather awesome in her classic outfit here. The less said about the TV show the better I feel, but it's neat to see this other 'Super' being added to the collection to fight along the other heroes. I'm not sure on the rock being held aloft above her head; maybe it should have just been a clenched fist?
Aquaman does look rather epic, despite his rather tarnished reputation in popular culture. A proper lord under the sea.
I like that they've given him a look to suggest he's underwater, floating there ready to engage his foes. He's certainly come a long way in many people's estimates although he has always been a very powerful superhero.
Arkham Knight Campaign
The Arkham Knight Campaign was also announced in full today allowing you to take on the final chapter of the video game series with the Arkham Knight himself.
This somewhat spoils the reveal of who he is (if you haven't played the games and/or read much of the comics) but the model does look superb. As well as him though we have some other heroes making it onto the streets of Gotham with Nightwing...
...and the ever changeable Catwoman.
While Nightwing only has rules for use in the Batman Miniatures Game it looks like Catwoman will cross between both systems. She looks more like the Phantom than Catwoman in that particular outfit but it's certainly a great looking sculpt and pose.
When it comes to bad guys you do have the unmistakably evil Penguin and his new gang.
I wouldn't want to run into them on the streets of Gotham now they've been taken over by criminal scum. Leading them we also have another miniature to fight for Cobblepot, his Penguin Lieutenant.
This is all shaping up to be a great set of releases for lovers of the Batman universe and DC in general. It is still a real shame that we're not going to see more from the Marvel side of things as imagine how cool Hulk Vs Thor would have been if they'd done the gladiatorial outfits from the upcoming Ragnarok movie?
What do you think of the newest releases?

Damn these look good …….really, really good. I have avoided making any purchases from Knight models but i suspect I may be eventually reeled in. I particularly want to get the Thing mini before he ceases production as he always was a fave …… but then again so is Aquaman ….. what can I say ….I like orange
Do not hang around on Marvel stuff, it is selling out everywhere extremely quickly, many retailers have already exhausted their final re-stocks.
Cheers mate I’ll get right on it then
Those are stunning.
Not too shabby, KM.
I really hope to see a new Marvel miniatures game someday (It’s just begging for it) using multi-part plastic/resin kits. Maybe also do some generic hero multi-part kits as well so we can build our own heroes in the Marvel universe. Have a set amount of points to spend to build them then team up with other established Marvel characters or run a custom group of your own. My dream . . .
But wouldn’t multi-part plastic kits of Marvel heroes look very disappointing compared to the KM metals?
Depends how you make them. GW’s hard plastics at thr moment are outstanding. Very well detailed but more importantly, because they are designed and assembled as a kit, you get some absolutely fantastic poses.
I think we will hear something at GAMA (starts Wednesday)…my guess is FFG grabbed the rights.
Getting those penguin bits, in the comics this gang has motorbikes and with the vechile rules it would be great to see some. Keep ’em coming KM
A lot of solid releases. While I do like the show Supergirl and think it got better as time went on, I did feel the way @brennon did about it for a while, but I would highly recommend the first crossover the show did with The Flash. The model is cool, I think the rock over the head is to emphasise strength and empower women, as DC had one or two… well scandal is a too strong a word but a couple of publicity ‘blips’. I like Aquaman, and agree with the floaty water hair thing. While he has been… Read more »
The current Aquaman run by Dan Abnett is pretty damn good. So was the Geoff Johns New 52 run. Well worth a look.
I don’t play KM’s games (Pulp City is my superhero fix – and a bloody good one it is too!) but I might pick up an Aquaman model. Great stuff!
Wow. I love that Penguin model!
fabulous figures, the penguin reminds me of Donald Pleasance.
That’s Toronto’s CN Tower behind Supergirl.
Naw…that’s CatCo’s radio tower in National City…
i’m in agreement with Ben on super girls rock not being the best design choice and her face is a little squashed, the rest of her is spot on though. all the other sculpts are really nice.
cat womens boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of these days those boots are gonna walk all over you.
Oh yes please ………………………… Excuse me while I take a cold shower
