| Going through 'odd' figures I've got lying around. This lot are by Minifigs, Matchlock Miniatures Sword and Sorcery range plus Classic Fantasy and Science Fiction range.. |

| Quite like these two. Granted, they are dated and overpriced but they have a certain charm. (I may be biased but I much prefer the Garrison S&S Range figures. Also Minifigs charge a premium for fantasy figures over historical ranges which I personal dislike when it includes bulk figures) |
I am not a huge fan of old school figures, generally, but these are quite nice, Rob.
ReplyDeleteSome rubbish old school figures, but quite a few have a lot more character than some of the modern ones.
DeleteAlways like seeing old school figures and the one on show here are rather nice I must admit, have to agree with you about the Minifig pricing system, certainly puts me off buying them.
ReplyDeleteTried to get them (again) to bring out the old S Range Ancients - flat refusal on all my offers, seems they need to sell at least 700 of any code to be profitible. I charge half as much and I've covered the mould cost after about 300 figures per mould!
DeleteAlways had a soft spot for Minifigs fantasy figures - though, to be fair, the Garrison interpretation of Hyboria was generally more interesting - ever since seeing the advert that accompanied the first part of “Valley of the Four Winds” (White Dwarf 8?) when I was a kid. Hugely pleased when they were re-released…..until I saw the prices!
ReplyDeleteI used some of the S&S Range - Picts etc - in my Persian army in the 70s. Just ordinary figures, today ones like SS50 Pict light infantry http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/images/catalogue/SS50.jpg cost £3.25. Frankly, there is no way that it is worth that much!
