Fortress Figures:

Bogies

by Leland Erickson


Fortress Figures does it again! From the mad metal mutants of Indiana comes another Bogey (another officer, this time with a power glove), and a new Space Ranger figure (powered armor dude), an Infestor pod (alien egg thing), a bogey weapons set (gatling cannon, two rifles with bayonet, two rifles without, and two chainsaw halberds), and the best example I've ever seen of why no self respecting Ork should ever mess with a Mekboy's work: the "Smart Bomb, Dumb Bogey".

While the infamous Bogies have already been covered in a previous review, the "Smart Bomb, Dumb Bogey" deserves mention. The set consists of rocket-like projectile on a base with a clearly terrified Bogey holding on for dear life (somewhat reminiscent of Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove). A definite must have for any Ork fan! The Space Ranger is a new powered armor dude from Fortress Figures. The style of the figure strongly suggests an Imperial Guard Elite Trooper rather than a Space Marine. At present there appears to be only one pose; I sincerely hope that Fortress Figures does more poses, as it is an excellent figure!
