Brigade Games do a good range, as does Griffin Miniatures.
I think those two are the best.
Copplestone has a pack too I believe.
Excalibur does one in a pack with Mulder & Scully.

Those are the Griffin ones, I think. They are really nice sculpts, although I believe there have been some issues with them sending orders out recently.

i.e. not doing it, in case that wasn't clear.

I cannot find that one, maybe it's OOP...?

It's in the scifi range, with the humans.

Got 'em, thanks...  :)   ... I may have to buy some Excalibur minis, some of them are really great (while others are dubious).

Whats the deal with Griffin anyhow?

They've got cool stuff, but can't seem to get their sh*t straight.


I wonder what happened to those awesome zombies and hunters they were working on?

I asked similar through Frother's a while back, nice long thread full info. All went quiet, nothing came of it past the greens and masters. Griffin, erm didn't really live up to people's expectations as customers both with Harbinger and miniatures, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah the preacher with a shotgun and those zeds were awesome.

You never know, you might, if you're lucky; just know someone who might have something on the paintbench that you might like the look of .....;)

Watch this space......

Would there be any retailers that might have them?  Any of the big on line shops?  Don't want to chance it if they are going to screw me but I would really like to get those bad for my Weird War II gaming.

Brigade Games' miniatures might work just as well, as would the Thrade from 3-D Miniatures Design Group. Admittedly they're wearing space suits, and Brigade's are a little "cartoonier," but they're all excellent models.

Those Thrade look interesting!

A little bendy, but a great pose!

A Grey without a probe is not a Grey.

Don't bother trying to order from Griffin... the guy will rip you off...
The website is set up to place and pay for orders but nothing will get sent out and the guy won't respond to any email you send him.

It is a shame too cause I was trying to put a set of the Alien Greys together too... I am now only missing two packs.

Too bad some other more reputable company doesn't pick up those molds... in the right hands I think that line could really sell well! :?

Yeah I got the full skinny on Griffin and it is a very troubled company so I would stay away from it at all costs.

Now that you mention it, their may be a line of grays from the same sculptor in the near future by my company so keep your peepers pealed.

That would be sweet Brian!  I hope they will be compatable with the original sculpts.  I would love to be able to send you money! :lol:

I'll let everyone know what is happening as soon as I do.
