Bombshell Miniatures’ New Bubblegum Chewing Sniper
January 30, 2015 by stvitusdancern
In the words of the famous movie line, " I am here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum!" Which brings me to the new release from Bombshell Miniatures, Candy the Mobile Sniper.
This new release is a beautiful sculpt of a female sniper who is chewing gum and wearing Rollerblades ( talk about being multi-talented). It is 32mm scale and cast in pewter, even though it is designed for their game Counterblast I can see it being used in other skirmish games, Malifaux maybe?
Can you chew gum, shoot a really big gun with precision while rollerblading too?

I like that one a lot.
I don’t need one. I have no real use for her. But…it’s a rollerskating, bubblegum-blowing sniper. I need one.
Lololol. I love your rationale! Lol
The concepts of female models gets crazier by the day!
At least roller blades are more original and make a nice change from high heels, even if they are just as impractical! lol
hey now, I’d gladly welcome a male equivalent to pair it up. Wargaming needs more twinkydudes and less burly conans. Especially for scifi, where burly dudes are just unrealistic given evolutionary trends of humanity.
Fun miniature anyone might want ‘for the hell of it!’
Reminds of the girl from the console game, lollipop chainsaw, only with a sniper 🙂
Funny/quirky.
Wonder how well it scales to MERCS minis
I just ordered. I can’t wait to see what I can do with her.
Nice
Hope to see the results posted in the Painting Forum
Maybe I’ll order a second one and send it to @elromanozo and see if he can do a proper painting video on her.
I like the detail of the miniature, but i can’t really believe the concept/pose. A sniper should standing/sitting still and steady her gun when taking shots. Being on rollerblades might be a cool idea to reposition quckly, but then I feel she should have the gun close to her chest and looking at where she is heading.
Thanks for all the great comments everyone! I don’t really picture her firing on the move so much as being able to relocate more quickly from setup to setup.
I would opt for a jet pack for that tbh
and an invisibility cloak.
In fact I did my own sculpt. Sadly it doesn’t come out well in photos for some reason! lol
Well, in games like Infinity a “sniper” just means someone who grabbed a long rifle. In one game, I’ve run-and-gunned five dudes with my sniper, so rollerblades are just as appropriate for that as high heels my miniature had.
Now, can we get a male version? You can keep the outfit the same! : 3
