I'm looking for a Cyclpos - two, actually, so two poses would be great, but I'm not afraid to convert one model into two poses. Hopefully you folks here can reccomend somthing to me.
Ideally, the figure will be in simple clothes - sandals or barefoot, loincloth or animal skins, minimal armor and froofra, human or neanderthal proportions - robust and muscley, but not like the Incredible Hulk or a big orc. I'd like the figure to be 45-60mm tall, although a bit taller than that would be OK.
I don't really care about the weapon, a club would be great, but anything simple and ancient-looking is fine (spear, simple sword, mace).
I haven't had much luck so far - the closest I've seen would be some of the Bob Olley ogres (which I would have to convert to having only one eye - not impossible, but there's no way I can match Bob's sculpting convincingly).
Maybe there's an action figure out there, a toy, or a greek myth statue or something? I'm open to reccomendations outside the hobby.
Thanks, folks.

I have the cyclop made by Fenryll. A nice one :

I rather like the Rackham Mid-Nor Cyclops myself, although I'm not sure how available he is since they limited their range:

There's also this Reaper one, although the feet might not be quite what you're after?

Heresy Miniatures produce a couple - one with 'pig feet' and the other with 'goat feel', may be worth checking out the goat legged version and using 'human legs'.
Check them out at;

Good luck in your search, I have chosen a Goat legged Cyclops for my Not-Jason adventures.

Maybe the Ral Partha Cyclops-kin are usuable, I'm not sure if they are still available.

Halfway down the page: 11-453 Cyclops-Kin
Maybe they are a bit small, 4 cm to the top of their heads.

Black Tree do a nice looking one for a tenner - if you dare... ;)

There was a good thread on Frothers about cyclops minis I think - have a search around the miniatures forum!

There's one of the old Ral Partha ones on eBay, closing tomorrow.

I know there was another one that was a dead ringer for the one in the 7th Voyage of Sinbad but I can't remember who released it. It's been sitting on my window ledge for years, begging me to finish it!

Here is Hydra,s aquaclops http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=2_37 its as big as a small action figure toy.
-
The Aquaclops is AWESOME, but not really what I'm looking for this time.
Those D&D Cyclops-Kin look perfect, although a little small, I think.
There have been some good suggestions here, folks, thanks!

I got a very nice resin one. Its an official Harryhausen Cyclops piece of merchandise and is exceptionally well done and a good pre-paint, about 6" tall. Can't remember who made it but it was cheap and from forbidden planet, searching there or film merchandise shops could deliver the goods.

I guess they are ogre sized.

In the past I have used an awesome Ray Harryhausen coldcast statue; you can see it in action here:

Blood Moon Miniatures do a bearded and unbearded (http://www.bloodmoonminis.com/store.html) version (scroll down). Spartan Games also do one (http://www.rebelpublishing.net/home/shop/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=210&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=90), although he's scaled for 40mm so how big he actually is I couldn't honestly say...
That's me spent for the time being. Oh wait, there's the Steve Barber cyclops (http://blog.pierrickauger.fr/__oneclick_uploads/2007/09/cyclops.JPG), too!
-
That cold cast statue looks great, although it's not the design I'm looking for for this project, I might need to get one anyways!
Those Ral Partha guys (old Cricible Cyclops Legion) come the closest to being what I'm looking for - a little too muich armor, but they look great. I love Bob Olley's sculpting.
