At the time the VFW range was sculpted, I was the sole distributor of Minifigs in the Benelux countries and often visited the factory in Southampton. This was not solely a business venture, but I was also a personal friend of Neville, Tony Bath and Dick Higgs. During a visit to his home (where the sculping took place), Dick offered me a the master of a VFW Hero-figure on a skull that was never produced (not to my knowledge, at least). So here it is:
-
Crude by todays standard but I love the design, especially the helmet is ace :-*.
Thanks for sharing...
Btw, that weapon would be uncastable lol
-
A very stylish figure, though I'm not sure how practical it would be for gaming!
-
It is crude by today's standards, true, but at the time, the Valley of the Four Winds range was quite an eye-opener. I had a lot of the figures - goodness knows who I sold them all on to... Lost in the mists of time... ::)
-
It was a grand range indeed, the stuff now days may be technically better yes, but I find the bulk of it yawn making.
-
Please get it out into production! I love these old Minifigs ranges. Would there be any chance of me using the pics in an upcoming VFW blog post?
-
Apart from the fact that it was a gift as such and I don't hold any rights on reproduction (sorry...) I think it would wreck te mould after a few castings (look at the angles). The good news is: anybody who wants to can share these pictures, so please go ahead!
-
Iam sure i had one of those some where,, and yes please produce the heroes and all they were so stylish

There was a VFW review picture in an old Dragon magazine of what looked like a footstool with a dog's head. Never seen it and the picture wasn't very high resolution unfortunately.
