Title: Does anyone know who makes these figures?
Post by: twrchtrwyth on 13 April 2017, 12:06:11 AM

These 2 have SR 6 on their bases.

The handgunner seems to be a different manufacturer from the other 3, the billman has SR and a number, can't read it, on it's base.

Cheers in advance if anyone identifies them.

Are they closer to 25mm than 28mm? They could be old Minifigs  or even Hinchcliffe.
I shall check with an old friend of mine who knows a bit a bout older ranges.

25mm. The bases are the wrong shape for Minifigs for 3 of them I think. Hinchcliffe is a good suggestion, I'll see if I can dig up a catalogue. Thanks.

Hi there. I may well be wrong here but I think the three with round bases may be old Garrison Renaissance Swiss . As for the handguns, another vote for minifigs. There is e-bay picture on the web of some Garrison medieval & I think one of your open handed guys is in one of the lots. Good luck getting a definitive answer

Hi again, the handgunner IS minifigs. Hundred Years war range code HYW 11 , picture on Caliver Books website.

Well done that man! My friend and I were scouring through the Hinds Figures website to see if we could track down any of the poses - there's some old Hinchcliffe poses that are pretty close. Garrison may well be a possibility too for the others. :)

Another vote here for Garrison, Hinchliffe figures were more 'spindly' and Minifigs short for their weight; just like the handgunner figure.

Thanks all. The handgunner is definately Minifigs, thank you. The bases of the 3 billmen don't look like garrison bases. Here is one of the billmens bases.

And this is a Garrison base.

Of course, maybe Garrison didn't base all their figures the same.

Okay... I think I have it!  :)

I'm guessing 'SR' is Swiss Renaissance.
