Is Funky, the Bomber worth it if you’re shopping in Gaming?

Quick answer

What you’re actually buying

You’re not just buying a shape; you’re buying a specific character from the BROGS collection by HighCraft Miniatures. The name says it all: Funky, the Bomber is designed to be a dynamic, high-detail companion for your tabletop. In the 3D printing world, “high detail” is a marketing buzzword until you look at the file. Here, the studio leans into fine details and high-quality sculpts, which means your printer is going to have to work for it. That’s the point. You want a miniature that looks good on the table, not just a blob that came out of the vat.

The real value at the $7 price point is the file variety. You aren’t just getting one STL and hoping for the best. The package includes a professionally pre-supported version for resin printers, a Lychee pre-supported version, and a version without supports. If you’ve ever spent two hours in Chitubox or Lychee trying to figure out where to put supports on a complex character without ruining the face, you know that this is the part of the process that kills the joy. By providing these ready-to-print files, Funky, the Bomber saves you the technical overhead and lets you focus on the actual print.

There’s also a 40mm base included. This is a small detail that matters if you’re building a cohesive army or a battle-ready unit. You don’t have to hunt down a generic base that might not match the character’s stance or style. It’s a complete package: the character, the base, and the print-ready files. For a solo character, this is a solid entry point into the BROGS line, especially if you’re looking for something with a bit more character than a standard orc or elf. (Funky, the Bomber)

Why it’s on our radar

This is on our radar because it solves a specific pain point for resin printers: the gap between “I want to print this” and “I actually have a file that will print.” Most indie miniature sellers give you a raw STL and wish you luck. HighCraft Miniatures goes a step further by providing pre-supported files for both standard resin and Lychee, which is a smart move for a broader audience. The BROGS collection itself is interesting because it positions these characters as “companions” for adventures or painting challenges, which suggests a focus on playability and visual interest rather than just aesthetic sculpture.

The $7 price is also worth noting. It’s low enough to be an impulse buy for a new character, but high enough to suggest a certain level of quality in the sculpt. You’re not paying for a mass-produced generic model; you’re paying for an original character with a specific design language. If you’re looking to expand your collection with a character that has a bit of flair, Funky, the Bomber is a strong candidate. It’s a single character, so it’s not a huge commitment, but it’s a complete package that should get you from checkout to print in minimal time.

What actually matters

Before you hit buy, check your printer specs. The pre-supported versions are tailored for resin printers, so if you’re running FDM, you’ll be looking at the unsupported file and doing your own support placement. That’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s a different workflow. The Lychee pre-supported version is a nice touch if you use that slicer, as it means the supports are already optimized for that software’s physics. (Funky, the Bomber)

Also, consider your paint palette. High-detail sculpts can be a nightmare to paint if you’re not prepared for the fine lines. The “fine details” that make the model look good in the render are the same details that will make your brush sweat. If you’re a painter who enjoys the challenge, this is a win. If you’re looking for a blocky, easy-paint model, this might be more work than you want. The 40mm base is standard for many tabletop games, so if you’re building a unit, make sure it fits your existing setup. (Funky, the Bomber)

Finally, check the file size and complexity. High-detail models can be heavy on your computer’s RAM during slicing. If you’re on an older machine, you might want to test the unsupported file first to see if it handles the complexity without crashing. But for most modern setups, this should be a smooth process. The key is that you’re getting a complete, print-ready package, which is a big plus for the price. (Funky, the Bomber)

FAQ

Is Funky, the Bomber compatible with FDM printers? Yes, the package includes a version without supports that you can slice for FDM. However, the pre-supported files are optimized for resin. If you’re FDM, you’ll need to place your own supports, which is standard practice for that technology.

What is the Lychee pre-supported version for? Lychee is a popular slicer for resin printing. The Lychee pre-supported version means the supports are already placed and optimized for that specific software. If you use Lychee, you can load this file and print without doing any manual support placement. (Funky, the Bomber)

Is this a full army pack? No, Funky, the Bomber is a single character from the BROGS collection. It includes the character and a 40mm base, but it’s not a multi-unit pack. If you’re looking for a full army, you’d need to look at other products from HighCraft Miniatures.

Bottom line

Funky, the Bomber is a solid $7 pick for resin printers who want a character with personality and a print-ready file. The inclusion of pre-supported versions for both standard resin and Lychee is a big plus, saving you time and hassle. The high-detail sculpt is a challenge for painters, but that’s part of the fun. If you’re looking to expand your collection with a unique character, this is a good place to start.
