Title: Can you identify who produced these 4 figures?
Post by: Vampifan on July 16, 2018, 11:02:26 AM

As the title says, can you identify who produced these four 28mm scale sci-fi figures. I bought them in the 1990's but have no idea who made them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What material are they made of?

They're metal miniatures. Also, they came with integral bases and not slottabases.

I've no idea... If they were 25mm, I'd possibly suggest looking at Ground Zero Games but they could be Shadow Run from somewhere...

With the differences in head sizes, it could even be an amateur venture...

They are definitely 28mm scale and certainly not Shadowrun. I suspect they might be from the old Metal Magic Spacelords range but can neither confirm nor deny this.

1 to 3 are House Langencoat (sp?) troopers produced by Acropolis Design / Zap Miniatures for their Andromeda 5 range. 4 is a Vehicle Driver from the same range:

Some, but not all of the range is currently available from The Baggage Train: http://the-baggagetrain.com/epages/84d5106b-5668-4250-9f87-3aaa606a5389.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/84d5106b-5668-4250-9f87-3aaa606a5389/Categories/ecee596a242de13b779391cdaa2c528d (http://the-baggagetrain.com/epages/84d5106b-5668-4250-9f87-3aaa606a5389.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/84d5106b-5668-4250-9f87-3aaa606a5389/Categories/ecee596a242de13b779391cdaa2c528d)

Any time! There used to be a nice flickr album by Paul Henni who sculpted the figures. It had pics of all his painted catalogue figures, but I can't find any trace of it any more :(
