We look forward to trying this new venture out with the MFCA's input.

To keep it "in house" for you guys ... we've asked 5-13 Studios to come up with the sketches for the first figure that we do as part of the effort.

The idea is that 5-13 could bounce his sketches off of the community here to get ideas about what you would be interested in and then when finished ... we'd purchase the rights to produce sculptures from Chris's art.

We'll be interested to see how this all works. In terms of creating things like a camera crew or a chain gang ... those are all possible in the future if we think the return will be there. Those types of ideas are more expensive just because they need multiple sculpts to pull off correctly.
For example one of the other companies that makes Wargaming football figures (but only women figures) does an Orc and a Dark Elf camera crew:

So I could see Impact! trying out a human based crew.

Now as for cheerleaders ... I have to be honest that you might want to check out one of my company's competition: Shadowforge (based in Australia). The War Store carries their line of miniatures here in the USA ( http://www.thewarstore.com/humanteam.html ).

If you go down to the end of that link you'll find these 6 pure human cheerleaders that would work well with most of your teams already without waiting for Impact! to produce them based on this joint effort project.

However if you don't mind a bit of converting ... Impact!'s Beer Garden Beauty would be easy to cut off the hand with the beer mug and convert to be holding a pom pom.

Anyway looking forward to working on this project with MFCA and hoping it turns out good for both of our organizations.
