Various figures based on particular TV Shows, movies, and comics. 10th September 2005

Apemen with Guns (out of production)

• Foot apes (5 with rifle, one with long pole [standard or beater], leader with maracca) All apes wear a heavy padded banded sleeveless vest, long sleeved shirt, long pants and boots. They each have a strap over the left shoulder holding a couple small pouches like a bandolier. All have good ape faces with shaggy hair and beard. I am not convinced if they wear gloves or not. The guns are carbines with a small clip. The detailing on the guns could be a little clearer, but they do the job quite fairly. Officer stands legs apart, left arm pointing off to left, head turned with it. Right arm held at waist height holding a maraca looking device. Beater stands legs apart, holding a 12 foot pole across chest up at and angle forward of left while he stares forward. Pole has no decoration. Rifle apes - 5 variants. Variant 1 advancing slowly with rifle held up to left across body. Variant 2 standing casually, left arm hanging down, right hand at waist holding rifle up at angle, looking wistfully away to right. Variant 3 as per variant 1 but standing facing forward. Variant 4 is standing upper body turned left aiming rifle slightly up. Some flash between rifle and body. Variant 5 is an early run sculpting, and is different to all the rest in style. He wears knee length pants with exposed lower legs and feet, banded sleeveless vest with long sleeved shirt, belt with small pouch. Rifle is held 2 handed at waist height pointing leftish.
• Mounted apes (3) Eye height 25mm. One piece castings, except for separate weapon arm - i.e. apes are fixed on horse. Horses are same as mexicans above except instead of saddle blankets they have a blanket roll and sack at right front of saddle. Variants are simply basic ape in a slightly varying pose on the three horse poses. Separate right arm holding rifle in 3 variants.
• Mounted Ape new body connection (1 variant)
• Apeman general on foot
• Giant Gorilla with Recoilless Rifle. Gorilla eye height when hunched over 32mm
  • Loader
  • Recoilless Gun Arm (also available without chimp)
  • Assembled Set
  • Available in 2 sets, either plain gorilla with recoilles rifle, or with sighting chimp and loader ape. Both gorilla arms are cast separate, the right has a square pin for attachment and is a solid join, the left arm with rifle is a round pin so the arm could be aligned with some variation vertically.
• Apes with Guns in Boiler Suits (12) (26-29mm) Advancing, Attacking, Heavy Weapons (flame thrower, officer, M60, RPG
• War Gibbons (10) - part 1 - part 2 - part 3

Blade

• Blade - As in the movie! Well, it looks close enough. A very tall 32mm figures - maybe he fights Reapers 32mm (oh sorry 28mm) vampires. He has over long legs I think. He wears long coat, long trousers, leather boots, gloves, and sun glasses. He stands left arm across his body, right arm held overhead with separate sword hand, looking as though the sword ends up pointing down across his left shoulder. You can see two of his syringes at high left knee. Except for the height, he is pretty good and a good miniaturisation of the subject.

Frankenstein

• Dr Frankenstein & Monster
• Dr on his own
• Monster on his own

The Mommy

• For Anubis warriors & Mummies and Skeletons refer to Fantasy Races

Sea Monkeys

• Boy

Shiny One Eyed Robots (out of production)

• Rocket Man/Radioactive Man with pistol or cylon like from Battlestar galactica. I had to ask about this figure. To me it wasn't immediately recognisable as such, but probably a good paint job would clarify it. I took it to be a superhero style figure. I have only one variant, standing firing a small boxy laser pistol. He wears a long cape. Figure height 25mm
• Other 3 from the above set

Stirgate (out of production)

• 100SCI09 Jackel helmeted warriors (3) (29mm) These figures are based on some sci fi show or other, which strangely you can't buy the movie of on dvd in Australia, but you can buy the series. Hollywood moves in mysterous ways. These figures come kitted out in the stylised Egyptian armour with laser sticks. Poses are fairly non aggressive.
• 100SCI10 Hawk helmeted warriors (3) (29mm)
• 100SCI11 Nubian warriors (2) (28mm) Both figures stand casually, one has a completely separate laser stick
• Cobra Headed Warrior (1) A variant with what I take to be a rather broad cobra head, but the way the nose is, it almost looks hawk like too. On this one, the tradional helmet with headpice is replaced by a banded tall thick neck with the head and a banded neck hood to shoulder level. He stands casually with a big stick weapon, from the show, held vertical in his right hand. His left arm just sort of hangs down. He wears an Egyptain 'skirt', shoulder 'amour' and chunky upper arm bands and ornate wrist bands. 39mm to eye height of helmet.
• Armoured Cobra Headed Warriors (4) More Wadjet warriors. These guys are similar to ones already released, except they wear additional chainmail armour, so are slightly more bulky than earlier figures. Poses are very casual. Three come with a cobra headpiece, the last is bare headed. One figure holds the separate 'weapon' across his body, but his arms will need some adjustment to make the weapon fit straight.

Stir Wers (out of production)

• Rebel Trooper 1 reminiscent of star wars rebels
• Other 3 from the above set armed with blaster rifles

Stirship Bloopers (out of production)

• Anarexoids - Spindley limbed armoured aliens such as you might find in a Sci Fi setting involving large bugs and Denise Richards. (4)

Wizard of Oz

• Fezzed Winged Monkeys - 6 variants (also bat wings variation available) eye height 15mm, These figures appear similar to the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. Variants are archer firing with separate arrow, archer advancing holding bow and arrow loosely, with scimitar advancing/waving over head, with scimitar standing on guard, advancing shaking 6 foot spear over head, standing with spear upright. All figures have 2 separate small, feathered wings that fit onto the back with a small lug and hole. The archers also have a separate quiver. The monkeys have a simple unadorned open vest and fez. Otherwise they are unadorned. All 6 variants are based on the same body and head. Posing is nice, casting and sculpting clean
• Fezzed Winged Monkeys Flying with stand - 3 variant. Variants attached to a long flying stand with a tiny hole in their tummy to fit the pole
• Band set comprising of monkey crashing cymbals over his head, one strumming a banjo, one blowing an eastern style trumpet, one with ball ended drumsticks on a little drum, and the fifth is a more exaggerated bigger rock'n'rollin' monkey singer clapping his hands over his head. Casting and sculpting neat. Eye height 15mm, 18mm for the singer. All figs have separate wings.
• Jezzailers. I have three variants. The first is standing firing an American pilgrim style short blunderbus with exaggerated gun mouth. The second stands firing an extremely long rifle (33mm long butt to tip!). The third is the second with another monkey balanced on top of the gun leaning forward pointing with the left arm, right hand shielding eyes, spotting his target. Eye height 15mm
• Flying Carpet with 3 flying monkey crew Flying carpet on flying stand with three crewmen and a basket of some type of melons maybe
