Didn't see answers in the messages, so I'll ask - any suggestions for:
The Magnificent Seven Yul and the gang plus Calvera
The Sacketts - the brothers, Ben Johnson's character, Tom Candy, the opposing force from the closing shootout (Bigalow Brothers plus the punk troublemaker)
Appaloosa Cole & Hitch, the Jeremy Irons character and his ramrod, maybe the gunmen who helped spring Irons
Lone Ranger and Tonto
Josh Randal - Wanted Dead or Alive
Paladin- both his gunslinger and his gambler outfits
Cheyenne - Clint Walker
Wyatt Earp - the Hugh O'Brian TV version

I'm sure I have others,,,these are just the ones off the top of my head.


Also a question.  May be more trouble than it is worth but is there any interest in a publicly available reference / spreadsheet sort of listing matching character - TV or movie source  - company(s) and approx scale?

Thanks.

Artizan at Northstar do one.  Originally a freebie I think with some rules.  Now available as part of the Legends of the Old West pack, along with Crockett, Billy the Kid and Custer

Dead Man's Hand have quite a few TV, Movie and Real Life characters

https://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=58&cat=363&sub=523&page=1

In the Lawmen posse, they have a Hell On Wheels Bohannon, Everitt Hitch from Appaloosa Series and Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday.
In The Outlaw posse, they have 3:10 to Yuma's Charlie Prince.
I'm sure in both sets you could attribute the figures to other movies or tv that I'm not familiar with.

They also have singles like Jonah Hex

Knuckleduster’s personality figures are amazing!  I recently painted Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson from Once Upon a time in the West, along with Clint Eastwood.  The detail is incredible.

Are there any models/proxies for the Cartwright family from Bonanza? Namely, Ben, Joe, Adam and Hoss.

Also, what about the Cannon family from The High Chaparral?

Knuckleduster Dead Man's Hand does the newer (with Denzel Washington) Magnificent Seven, along with their original Magnificent Seven pack.  And Empress Miniatures does a few movie sets, especially Open Range - the Kevin Cosnter and Robert Duval figs, and the Baxter Boys (even the guy with his arm in a sling...).

(Edit:  My bad.  I meant Dead Man's Hand in this original post.  As you can see, I changed it.  Sorry...)
