Mini in the Lead Advneture Forum's logo?

[Witchsmeller]

Hi all, Ive been looking for a mini that looks like Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  I really like the one up in the logo, but have been unable to locate it.  Can someone tell me who the maker is?

He was sculpted by Mark Copplestone as a special commission for an American company, only available from the USA via a company called RLBS (I think)  :
The figure is very tall, probably 33mm, he dwarfs most 28mm figures.Nice figure though

Thanks for the info.

I believe it is supposed to be the fictional character Alan Quartermain from, among other books, King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard. The character was borrowed, along with other fictional characters from other writers, by Alan Moore as he wrote the Victorian Gothic graphic novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen*. This novel was the basis of the film you are refering to. So nicely spotted on ya!

* I am personally hoping that the next sequel is going to be called The League of Extraordinary Cads and Lechers.

As an alternative figure, try this one:

The figure is a 'slim 28mm' and paints up much better than shown in the picture.

I agree with Bullshot. The Parroom Station LXG figures are more or less exact copies of the characters from the graphic novel. I think the Quatermain figure is spot on, as is Captain Nemo.
Here are my versions:
