I am conceited enough to reckon that as well as having some interest in the history-to-date of Attica Games, folks might just be interested in what’s going on with Attica in something approaching real-time. With the business now a little over a month old and Helen and I slowly getting the hang of the whole packing and a-posting and a-writing for the Facebooking and the Blogging, I thought it was about time for a real-time update.
The last six weeks or so have been about the Plastic Population here at Attica, our sci-fi horror artificial life forms. Here is their proposed marketing blurb, which tells you about all you need to know :
“They are the Plastic Population, living invention of the fiendish Professor Polyphemus – Product of the Population Printer, Property of Polyphemus ™.
These poor proto-people begin to degrade within days, sometimes hours of leaving the birthing pod, ending their lives as little more than flesh puppets of their evil master, caring only that they survive long enough to carry out his orders.
These figures would make ideal zombies or space plague victims. The Professor asks only that you recall the criminal intent behind their creation and respect their nefarious natures!
The minis will come dressed in the classic lackey coverall or leather armour and with a range of tools and weapons to allow some tailoring.
There will also be some Misprints – horrific, misshapen nightmares ushered onto the field of battle by the Plastic Population.”
More on the Misprints and some spare PlasPop heads next week. PlasPop – that could catch on!
