Title: 28mm Wild animals
Post by: dooger on 13 November 2009, 01:49:12 PM: I've looked at a few sites and wonder what the preferred source (UK hopefully) of African animals is? I've already placed a huge order with Foundry (fulfilled in 2 days - they are great!)....other than them - any recommendations (cheap as possible - I'll keep my eye out for plastics obviously but am not hopeful!)?
Thanks

If cheap is what you are looking for I recommend MegaMinis ebay store (you can get at it from
www.megaminis.com

They stock a lot of animal figures (I remember Matakishis site showing few of them being used for his Tarzan and Alien Abduction stuff If memory serves).

They are not UK based but I have always found their service, shipping time and shipping costs from the US to Ireland to be excellent.

North Star as Svennn has said would be ideal.

I don't do ebay and can't understand why these folks don't have their own web store.

They have lots of kewl stuff that has gotten my attention but every time I see ebay store... I just move along.

Sorry to contradict you old boy, but they are fairly easy to get hold of from Ral Partha Europe:

Unless that's not the full range?

Good, quick service from them too - recommended for populating the veldt!

I have two of their sabre-toothed tigers and two of their mastiff dogs; they're nice miniatures, but not as detailed as some. They do a good range of African & Asian beasties, though, plus prehistoric mammals, dinos, and North American critters.

I have a bunch of the old HLBS dinosaurs; based on the quality of those, the now-North Star animals are probably very nice indeed. Prices seem about the same, North Star vs Dazed.
