Clarence and myself  would love to collect this far out range.
We have decided to start when everything is out there first.
Our  Kemp town Brighton Club have had our hands burnt a few
times . Working in fashion has taught me not to run before l
can walk.
Keep it up Ged and love the range.

Just a note from Button-Counting Central Command: The Spanish suffix denoting the follower of a leader is -ista, not -asta. So it's Villistas, Zapatistas, Juaristas, Sandinistas, etc.

Just in case you have packaging going off to the printers. Looking forward to seeing the figures. :)

How do these compare, size/style wise to the Old Glory Villistas?

Gracias,

28mm Gringo Villiastas painted by the very talented Andrew Taylor and sculpted by Bertie Teale

Personally I think these are some of Ged's best figures so far

Nice paint job. The figures, sorry to say I'm not so wild about. A bit stiff and they seem to be armed with BB guns. That said everything else I've seen from Ged has been top class so maybe it's the angle.

Thinking about this - how do the guns on the figures scale out versus historical weapons of that era such as rifles, lever action carbines, shotguns, etc?

Gracias,

Glenn, you can readily judge that by judging the number of hand widths of the figure against the stock and barrel. These are seriously undersized.

appreciate the feedback .actually i noted the comment and have altered the weapons on the new figures ......though the winchesters used are
about the right size ...but all comments welcomed.

Any plans for some Wild Bunch personality figures?  I'd buy those, just because they are Wild Bunch personality figures!!
