What ever happened to The Figure Trader?
« on: September 29, 2010, 07:19:10 PM »
Just reminded about these guys from another thread?

Anyone know if they still have a store or have been bought up by someone else?

I think some of the figure ranges got sold off but it'd closed down due to ill health.

Oh, and before I forget to ask (I know, I asked a several times before, but maybe this time ;))

Does anyone of you gents own the "Sabotage" rules from "TheFigureTrader"?

I have a printed copy by my self, but the problem is that one page is double-printed therefor an other one is missing.
I'm searching for a copy of the missing page.

Cheers

Yeah, I've wanted that drop ship for quite a while.  I had a bunch of pics of it at one time, not sure where they went.  I've never seen it in the flesh, but it was a very decent size compared to 28-30mm figs.

I'll see if I can find more pics...

Yes, it looks like it has a no nonsense approach to scale vehicles, if it needs to be big to be correctly scaled then make it big. Very nice.

Hei,

got some contact today with Steve, the guy behind "Sabotage".
Asked him about the minis.
They were sold to Andy Turlington, Sgt. Major Miniatures, who will re-release them as part of his existing range.

Sadly, the vehicles are not available yet, and Steve is not sure if they will be  :'(

Steve is now working on that:

Hey guys, sorry I didnt see this post earlier.  Yes, I bought that figure line.  My mold maker is working on them now.  He is putting them on their own bases, I dont do plastic bases.  Once that is done, he will mold them up, and I will start casting and get some photos.  I hope to have them out by the end of the year at this point...

He didnt have the drop ship available for sale when I bought these, or else I would have snatched it up, that is pretty!  I dont do resin, but know someone who does.  I need to e-mail him to see what can be done on that front...

Andy
