KLUKVA Miniatures Finish Off A Trio Of Sci-Fi Outlaws
April 20, 2019 by brennon
KLUKVA Miniatures has finished off their trio of awesome Sci-Fi Outlaws which might be familiar to fans of Overwatch.
The set of miniature will make you characters from the video game, namely McCree, Ashe and her bodyguard Bob. This is perfect for those looking to create a diorama based on the recent animated short...
You know, as much as I frown upon the fact that KLUKVA Miniatures are taking these characters from Overwatch and Blizzard...I also really like what they're doing and think they've done an awesome job on the range.
I really hope that Blizzard actually gets behind KLUKVA and help them create these officially for us to enjoy. A lot of people would love to actually get their hands on more of these miniatures and the entire roster of heroes and villains from the video game.
Fingers crossed that this doesn't have to skirt the edges of legality and instead becomes something more official in the future.
Heck, maybe we could actually see a proper Overwatch board game!
What do you make of this trio?

Overwhat? Ah, this is some of them new kids stuff… not my bag of coffee.
So blatant plagiarism and IP theft then. Wouldn’t even surprise me if this is the result of using the in-game models………
Those look top notch but I wouldn’t be surprised if Activision Blizzard goes after them. Sure Activision Blizzard is among most scummiest game companies today but this is so blatant that they could easily get KLUKVA Miniatures stop if they want.
I don’t know why people gets so upset by these people stealing Blizzard’s IP when that McCree guy is suspiciously similar to the man with no name who is in turn a reeskin of yojimbo who is probably also based in some other thing because everything is a remix.
I don’t recall anyone getting upset by Sly Marbo or worrying that GW might get sued by the producers of Rambo, The Dirty Dozen, Michael Moorcock or Heinlein.
When does IP theft become an homage?
When it’s not IP theft but homage. There’s a difference between inspiration (Sly Marbo), and outright rip-off. This is in no way “transformative” work, it’s just taking a 3D render of Mcree and Ashe, and turning it into a 3d-printable format. They didn’t come up with a twist on the idea of “sci fi gunmen”, they just took Overwatch characters and 3d-printed them.
Had heard of Overwatch before, but never got intersted (I can’t play FPS, they get me huge headaches).
Forget the game, I want those minis!!!
What size are they?
Lol, that’s exaggerated.
Otherwise Blizzard plagiarizes from starcraft/warcraft the miniature games.
Overwatch is partly inspired by infinity, in return corvus belli has put some touches of overwatch in the aristeia miniatures. So somewhere Kluvka plagiarizes also corvus belli. The cowboy would make a good dismounted biker proxy for the desperadoes infinity version. ^^
Lol, considering Infinity is wholecloth cut from early Shirow works and later on just your usual Mass Effect style, implying Blizzard stole from them is cute.
the good the bad an the punchy.
