Boot Hill Miniatures seems the best and does foot and mounted version: http://www.boothillminiatures.co.uk/index.htm (http://www.boothillminiatures.co.uk/index.htm)

There are also versions from Artizan Designs (nice), Reaper Miniatures (sword too big), Blue Moon (dodgy sculpt) and Lance and Laser (out of production?).

I have all of them and find the Boothill Miniatures set the most useful.  But, they all have potential for gaming.  Artisan has a nice one (I think the first or second Zorro I bought.)

I thought the Frog God (real name and company name slips my  mind) still produces the L&L one (in the superhero line - there is a compatible female figure as a person of interest.)

Gracias,

Glenn

Well, I could... but I won't.

Correct answer - http://www.teamfrog.com/index2.htm - I think the owner's e-mail once referred to something akin to that moniker.

Alas, I don't see it anywhere!



Aside,  Wow, I didn't know about the Monty Python skit.  Or the "girl" videos...

I would have to say the Boot Hill Miniatures version (but then I would wouldn't I ;) lol)

As well as the masked bandit himself there are presidial troops, a fat sargento, dastardly governor etc. I plan to add to the range next year with a tax collector set and some Mexican civilians including Don's, Vaqueros and ladies. :)

Boot Hill without a doubt, one of my all time favourite figures of all time  :-*

Nice. I'm waiting for a stretch without large sculpting, moudling or casting costs to order the lot of them.

I have (and like) that figure - but it's more "Son of Zorro" or even a less known predecessor to Zorro in my mind.

Just mi dos centavos.

It was Malamute's Zorro figures that broke the spine of my decision to leave 25/28 mm figures.  Then the soldados from DPS and 500 Nations Comanches that put the idea to rest pretty much permanently.   Finding adequate (if slightly inaccurate) figures for non-missionary California indians was icing on the cake.

Sorry, "Glennese" (bureaucratic bad habit) for Dayton Painting Services which carries the (IIRC the London War Room) Soldados de Cuera figures.   http://www.dpcltdcom.org/  Radetsky AT prodigy DOT com is the contact e-mail.

They are a bit of a niche, (Ya' think, Glenn?   ::) just a little?) so I asked about them and he sent a virtual catalog where all the figures are listed.  I don't see them on the web age right away. 

Gracias,

Glenn

I got the Artizan, Reaper and Boot Hill...
And I prefer the Artizan.  But then again, I think his sculpts are great.
The Boot Hill was a VERY close second.
I really don't think you can go wrong with either.
