Kick Ass Figures

One of my favourite superhero films and graphic novels is Kick Ass. The film Kick Ass 2 was okay but nothing special, in my opinion. I only recently discovered Bad Squiddo Games run by Annie the Dice Lady, who is such a wonderful person. Whilst browsing through her excellent range of female miniatures, I saw that she had made two versions of Hit Girl from the movie. I had to have them to go along with my Hasslefree Miniatures version of Kick Ass himself. And here they are.

Dave Lizewski was an ordinary teenager who lived in Staten Island, New York. Inspired by comic books, Dave planned to become a real-life superhero. He purchased and modified a bodysuit, and armed himself with batons. During his first outing, he got stabbed and then hit by a car. After recovering, he gained a capacity to endure pain and enhanced durability. He named himself Kick Ass.

In the centre is Hit Girl, an 11 year old vigilante, who along with her father, Big Daddy, are the real superheroes of the film, even though they have no actual superpowers. Big Daddy's real identity is Damon Macready, formerly an honest cop. Framed by Mafia boss Frank D'Amico, he was jailed. His wife committed suicide, leaving behind his daughter Mindy. Against the protest of his former partner Marcus Williams, Damon trained himself and Mindy as preparation for getting revenge on Frank. They undermined Frank's operations by raiding his warehouses, robbing his money and destroying his drugs.
The third figure shown here is Mindy Macready the schoolgirl. After taking out Frank D'Amico and his gang, Dave and Mindy retired from crime-fighting. Marcus became Mindy's guardian, after Big Daddy was killed by Frank, and she enrolled at Dave's school. Their retirement lasted until Kick Ass 2 started.
These figures would work well in almost any superhero game and they complement each other so well. Great figures beautifully sculpted. The figure of Kick Ass is produced by Hasslefree Miniatures as HFA071 Aaron (named after Aaron Johnson who plays Kick Ass in the film). He costs £4.50 and can be found here - http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=aaron~hfa071&category=modern-%26%0D%0Apost%252dapoc~modern-adventurers The figures of Hit Girl and Mindy are sold as Vigilante Schoolgirls on the Bad Squiddo Games webstore and they cost £8.00.
