Yup, I just said on Frothers how people here had been looking for a good Her majesty (Gawd bless 'er) figure. I may well be getting one of the meself. Lovely stuff.  :love:

Grrr... Verdammten Englisch! Wo ist Kaiser Bill? Kaiser Franz Josef? Erzherzog und Thronfolger Franz Ferdinand?

Seriously, that looks great.

really good questions.

The chap at the bottom of this pic could be used for Franz Josef in his later years. I've had my eye on him for a while, but I don't really want him in a cuirass, and I'm not altogether sure about that hat either. Those things have been putting me off buying him.

We definitely need more Victorian/Edwardian/Belle Epoque/etc. 'Higher Ups' in non-martial poses. Kaiser Bill and FF would be top of my list (but that's because I want them for a picture for my club!  :) ).

Perfect for all the Torchwood/VSF players.

It's such a requested figure, good to see someone has jumped in there.

Lovely! I will get that one and 28mm tables with tablecloths all the way down to the floor.

That's another figure to add to the wish list....

A nice model of the Queen (Gawd bless her) indeed.

Say Plynkes, where did those figures you're showcasing come from? The scotsman with two revolvers as well as the Elder Franz Josef figure are of keen interest to me :D

If I maybe so bold as to answer on Poly's behalf. They are Crusader miniatures from their Crusader collections.

Gorgeous model. Much more useful than the Queen (Gawd bless her) toting around a side-by-side.

On this one she's got it sawed off and concealed under her skirt. Her right hand is holding the barrels so's it won't fall over.

Tradition of London (and Scandinavia) has a Kaiser figure in full uniform and mounted. Nice figure, too.  It is supposed to be 30 mm, but I think it could fit in the modern lines of figures.

Thinking again:
Queen Victoria actually was very short.
Will be Eureka's miniature too tall? compared to the other minis.

Anyhow is a very nice figure.

Didn't someone here paint up that Crusader Scot as Mr. Brown?

Does anyone make a fig that will pass as an unarmed Mr. Brown?

Tommy 20,

A strange idea: Can the highlander of php10 of pulp figures be a Mr. Brown
in kilt and unarmed!

Wow, that's a lot better than the usual Pax Limpopo.

There is a Scottish gentleman in the Bob Murch Pulp Stallwart Companions that may do the Mr. Brown trick nicely

Great fig of the Queen.  Will have to buy one.  Saw this on Frothers as well.

I have to have one of those... there's a short story by a Spanish writer, Rodolfo Martínez, where Dracula takes another shot at the travel-to-England business and tries to turn Queen Victoria into a vampire, only to be foiled by Sherlock Holmes, Van Helsing etc. This would be perfect. Unless someone can come up with a vampire/zombie Queen Vic ?

Sounds like Anno Dracula a bit.

That's not unlike Kim Newman's Anno Dracula, which is based on the same premise, only Dracula succeeds, Holmes dies in prison and vampires become the new upper class. Meanwhile Jack the Ripper stalks the streets killing female vampires.

Queen Victoria and her descendants are werewolves, according to Doctor Who.

LOVE that epidode. Have made about a dozen or so monks up, as well as a werewolf,  to play in a game sometime.

Hmmmm, Zombie Queen Vic. That seems like a challenge for Pappa Midnight, He hasn't done this yet. I'll drop some subtle hints when I see him next.  :lol:

What the deuce?! We can't have her Majesty(Guad Bless 'Er) Zombified! Whatever next, It will be Vampires in Picadilly or Werewolves on Berkley Square, No Sir, not while the sun never sets on our glorious empire :lol:

Nope..... Not at all interested in VSF....I'm not even looking at this forum..
I will not be tempted by another genre.....

Bah!

That mini is lovely ( much better IMHO than the Foundry one) and a definite must have if I was getting into VSF. :wink:
As for Zedding Her Majesty ( Gawd Bless 'er!) that's terrible........Now Prince Albert is another matter........ :mrgreen:
