The metal models of 1st Edition Malifaux weren't bad, honestly. They were mostly sturdy, had pronounced features, which made them easy to paint. The problems they suffered from overshadowed those nice points by miles, though - Though nothing was really wrong with the models technically, they suffered from what many other first edition models often do - To make the model easy to recognize and to bait people to play the game, all models looked the same, while having no sense of unity or unique flair (Umm, what? The 1st ed models have way more personality and flair than the poorly rendered and flat plastic sculpts).

When you want to make new, memorable models for a range, your models must speak volumes of the setting, because the models are what most people see first when they get interested in a game. That's why [[40K]] make the models stand out through easily definable models (There's a lot of races in this game, something for anyone!), because we know a lot by just seeing the model painted. Malifaux, on the other hand, didn't do this at all. The universe is an alternate victorian era, with steampunk, wild west and supernatural horror elements, with focus on the later. The models didn't convey this at all - The models were strangely [[Weeaboo|anime-esque]] in models and ''especially'' artwork. [[PROMOTIONS|Female models had big boobs, long and full hair, slender bodies and were modeled in a distinct sexually way, thrusting their butt out or showing boobage]], while male models were either forgettable or cloaked in brown cloth. Now, sure, this isn't necessarily distinctly [[anime]], but the way the models were presented, it didn't give us any idea of the universe it all took place in at all - [[Infinity]] wrote the book on [[Weeaboo|anime-esque]] models and makes all models like that on purpose, simply because it's a part of the concept, but Malifaux did it because it's easy. They even had "Avatar" models where the women are even more sexualized and the men even burlier, like they are trying to be fucking [[Anime|Kill la Kill]].
