Many thanks - now to track them down in UK.  Just missed the Hasslefree sale >:(

I have a fair collection unfortunately the thread was lost in the Photobucket money grab:

They're having a black Friday sale on some items - could be worth a look - https://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=artemis-blacks~%2A%2Aartemis-black-friday%2A%2A

An elderly Citadel miniature.

This even more elderly chap has him painted already!


Thanks again

Not to derail the thread but does anyone know where I can get a 28mm Malificent?

As long as we're sourcing Disney figures: anyone have a lead on Frozen's Olaf by chance?

I once did a half-hearted attempt at sculpting him, but the result looked more like him sitting in front of a fire a tad too long, and I scrapped it pretty quickly... ::)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

When it came out, that counted as painted by me ^___^.

I saw a couple of official Disney figures in ASDA this morning that may be worth a look. They looked about 28mm tall, so oversized for scale, but probably okay with other 28mm figures. They seemed to be toppers on something (sorry, they just caught my eye in passing)

I was recommended to try a Disney Busy Book


All the figures are too big


So they now inhabit my Christmas train set up below the tree.

Have you checked out the Disney Kinder Eggs. They are close to the size you want. It just means you will probably need to eat a lot of bad milk chocolate or give that to your kids and then you have the figures you will need... eventually.  ;D

Thanks, I have not yet had a chance to do so, mainly because I have not (yet) seen them on sale locally.  I have grandchildren looking for them!
