Sporesplatta Fanatics careen towards the enemy, swinging thwackwheezer puffshrooms at the end of long, spinning chains and ropes. The billowing clouds of spores spewed out by these oversized fungi veil the grot hordes from sight, invigorating the followers of the Bad Moon whilst choking and blinding the foe.
Miniature Review
The Sporesplatta Fanatics are an alternative kit for the Loonsmasha Fanatics, featuring large puffshrooms rather than wrecking balls. The rest of the kit is identical, although it is possible to switch up some of the poses somewhat.
The main addition I like on these guys is the smoke or spore clouds coming out of the puffshrooms. They add a bit of extra movement to the models and help to make them a little bit chunkier. However, I think this could have been achieved by having one of the loonsmashas have some kind of large incense burner, and if they had done I might not have picked up two kits.

Roundup
As with the Loonsmasha Fanatics, I think they came out pretty nicely. I think the puffshrooms look fairly realistic, they could maybe have used something a bit extra to really make them stand out but I didn't want to overdo it.
