Post by: NurgleHH on March 11, 2015, 11:09:40 AM

Found this on Miniaturepage (new kickstarter from Studio Miniatures):

Without the hands the rest is nice, but what happened to the hands??? Had Lionheart giants hands?? Or did the designer put 40mm hands to 28mm figure???

I don't think the figure is  meant to be the Lionheart, I believe its based on Graham Chapman as King Arthur from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :)

He sort of has a Monty Python feel.

There's a post about this on the post Apoc board.

I think the hands look fine, the feet look a bit big, but it might just be the photo.

And yes, I believe it is meant to resemble Mr. Chapman.  ;)

If it is Graham Chapman - and it looks like him - then his hands are in large gauntlets:

This is the closest I could get to his feet:

He's obviously holding the "reins" of his horsey, while Patsy, not shown, clacks the coconut halves together. The big feet lend more comic relief to the overall effect....
