New  Elizabethans coming soon, sorry but they seem a tad dissapointing from the photo.

Hmm. Interesting.
But predictably disappointing. Dr Frankenstein has been at work again...
I clearly recognise some of those heads and one or two torsos. They must have been lifted off Mike Owen's Sea Dog dollies, and popped onto some rather second-rate legs and arms by some lesser hand...  ::)

Ethical? Dunno. Legal? Probably. Effective? Not really...
Not terrible either I suppose - but nothing like as good as the Owen originals, which remain my favourite 28mm figures anywhere ever.

Come on Mike! For Pete's sake sculpt a few more for yourself under the Artizan label. Stick one up your former employers. You know you want to  :D

I hope that this doesn't mean that they'll be discontinuing the Perry (?) ones again.

not great but beggers can't be choosers, I like the idea of Artizan doing some.

These are so shitty, they must be plastic, yes? Just look at the crap poses. It all makes terrible sense if that is the case. Still complete crap, but it explains a lot.

The musket men are definatley Owen sculpts with head swaps and the odd frilly collar thrown in , they should be ok but interesting to see if they do this to the rest of the range as may on reflection be some mileage
