Unboxing Raging Heroes - The Lulus

"What harm could they possibly do?"

The Lulus

Life is not easy for the Jailbirds... They are constantly on the run, fighting for their survival. And in their wake follow all kinds of fugitives and survivors. Many of them are very young, lost children who don't have a home anymore, or who never had one...

The Lulus are a patch of stray little girls who have become the proteges of the apparently emotion-less One-Shot Blondie. The little girls worship their hero and always try to emulate her, following her wherever she goes. But Blondie always keeps them safe, never letting them come near violent action. And to make sure they are not tempted by real weapons, she has equipped them with inoffensive dart guns that she crafted herself...

For those of you who are interested in the background for Raging Heroes various 'Toughest Girls of the Galaxy' projects then the link to their original Kickstarter can be found here, their last project is here and their own website is located here. Most of their original Kickstarter is now available to purchase retail. There is also apparently a game system in development but until then I'm sure there are many other systems that you can be using them for...

First we'll have a brief look at the background of the forces from which the Lulus originate.

THE JAILBIRDS DIVISION (JB)
They are a bunch of low-life bad-ass big-attitude girls who all ended up in planetary prison held by the Kurganov government. In the game, they will be used as small penitentiary contingents led by the Kurganova Shock Troops, or as a full autonomous faction (because, as you can easily imagine, many of them have escaped captivity). They are commando-style units with nothing to lose, and they specialise in acquiring enemy equipment for their own purposes.

General Assembly Tips

These models are made of resin and as with all models made of that substance you may encounter a few minor issues. Firstly you may find that some pieces are slightly out of shape...this is entirely normal and can be solved by heating up the part slightly with some warm (that's 'warm' not 'boiling') water and then carefully bending the piece back into it's correct configuration. You may also find that pieces that slot into recess or indentations may require a bit of filing due to expansion as well as the normal clean-up that we would expect with such detailed models. Where there are sprue pieces attached to the model parts take care when trimming them off so as not to lose any detail that may be nearby.

Here (in no particular order other than the numbers on the sprues) are the six stray kids that make up the Lulus...

Lulu - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu - Assembled

This model consists of four parts and (other than the usual clean-up that resin models require) was issue free.

Lulu 1 - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu 1 - Assembled

This model consists of one part only though it does also have a separate rifle you can put on the base for scenic purposes and (other than the usual clean-up that resin models require) was issue free.

Lulu 2 - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu 2 - Assembled

Another four part model. The one separate arm is quite small so be careful when handling it. The rest is simple.

Lulu 3 - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu 3 - Assembled

This model is in three parts though one of these is just a separate leg. The other is a puppy that is pulling on a loose section of her cloak. It's worth noting that if you assemble this model with the tab in the base provided it does leave you a bit short of room for the puppy and it may overhang a little.

Lulu 4 - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu 4 - Assembled

Another four part model. The separate arm will probably need some dry-fitting in order to make sure it is in the correct 'picking her nose' position. There's also a little piglet watching her do this which is a separate piece...You don't necessarily need to put this on the base though without it it does beg the question of what the little girl is actually looking at if you don't...maybe she's easily distracted.

Lulu 5 - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the models component parts.

Lulu 5 - Assembled

This ones a two-piece with the separate bit being her left leg.
