Look like it is going to be an excellent range.  And glad to hear some "High Chaparral" figures may be coming down the road.

If you are open to at least listening to requests, I would like to suggest Bob Valdez from "Valdez is Coming", probably my favorite Western.  I have neve seen a figure that matches that character well.





Now that is a good idea.  :-* My favourite Burt western is Ulzana's Raid. However I do accept his character in Valdez looks pretty unique.

He is probably next on the to do list. Great film character. So wanted a sequel to be made with him returning to the US.

Thanks for that  ;) although the terrain comment is a Red Herring as the figures work very well with standard off the shelf 28mm terrain.
Quite, I did not make my second comment/link clear (now edited) - that is a 28mm scale building.

Excellent! Like Mr Weaver, I'd go for a Bob Valdez, McIntosh and Ke-Ni-Tay  8)

If you're going with the High Shrapnel will you be doing Bonanza too?

Or Little House on the Prairie?

If you add in F Troop, people could consider Pony Wars in 28mm

Brilliant in 'The Wild Bunch' if you could capture this lowlife he'd make a great edition to any shower of Mexicans...

Yeah, the one I mentioned two posts ago. It was on telly last night, you missed it!  :)


It's the same film the first two figures in this thread are from. That's Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner.

No love for James Garner? Or Richard Boone?

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
