Great. :)
Now here is a question for the Figure Historians.
I recently bought some figures from this range and expected them to be 25mm or "small" 28mm. They were not though. They fit right alongside my other 28mm figures. So the question is, were the original Grenadier figures this size or have Mirliton "remastered" them? (Just curious.)
-
I have the Fu Manchu and Maltese Falcon figures , the first measures 25mm to the eye , but then it looks smaller than the other figure in the pack.
The Fu Manchu figure has Grenadier engraved under the base , the other has been painted and based but I think its an original I think he's just over 25ish but its hard to tell with the basing.
-
Are the prices per figure or for a pack of three?
-
They are sold in packs 8)
-
Very 8).

I wish that the sculpters and manufacturers of figures had a very clear definition to work to i.e 25mm from foot to eye which is basically 28mm from foot to top of head.
But what we appear to have is a spread of 25mm from foot to top of head through to 28mm from foot to eye (32mm)
I defo would prefer as clear definition, probably 25mm from foot to eye would be marvellous.
-
THose are nice looking figures...anyone sell them in North America? The shipping for a small pack or two is ridiculous to Canada.
-
I think they'll be available through Miniaturicum (see: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=6181.0 ). They sell Mirliton and their shipping rates are based on the actual shipping rates. In addition, shipping from Germany is much better than from Italy.
-
Thanks Malebolgia, but the last time I had something shipped from Germany, it was far worse than even England.
-
Are the clowns scuplted by Mark Copplestone? I think I'll have to get those!
-
Clowns are creepy anyway but these take the cake. lol Excellent sculpts.
-
Good stuff ;D

I think that the 'correct' way to measure minis in mm is footsole to eye. The convention was invented AFAIK because military minis tend to wear all kinds (and heights) of headgear - hence it can be difficult to measure to the top of the head accurately....
But, yes, would be nice if sculptors could just agree on the same way of doing it....

Damn, EU customers have to add 20% tax to those prices apparently. I really don't understand not showing the full price, isn't that against the law? :?

I ordered some Mirliton (re)releases from http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/ (http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/) - not the full range but Tim thought he get hold of most of them. The link seems to be having some server problems at the moment though.
A bit of a delay as he ordered what I needed, but a very good service and it avoid any hefty postage or customs charges.

That's very useful info. I'll have to look into ordering from him at at some stage.

I checked with Tim Fitch at Miniature Heroes who is a UK Mirliton stockist. Tim says:
"I think I might be able to help you there http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/browse/mirliton-miniatures/non-fantasy/page-1.html (http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/browse/mirliton-miniatures/non-fantasy/page-1.html)
Mirliton shuts down for the whole of August so to get an order in before they do I need to submit it on Friday morning ( 3rd July ). Effectively its buy now because the next order will be 1st September with a delivery date in the uk 16 days after that."
Hope that helps.

Hello, I'm Tim from Miniature-Heroes.
I had a mail pointing me in the direction of this thread and so I hope this might be of interest to some of you.

I have none of these ranges in stock at the moment, this is all on a pre-order basis. Currently I've set the cart to display 2 of each item. Should you want more of a particular item please let me know and I'll amend the cart display accordingly.
Hope this is helpful,
Regards
Tim

I've painted all of them except the clowns and the huge doctor with foreceps, many years ago.
Grenadier had, for some short time in the 1980, sculptors in both the US and the UK. The US stuff was small to normal 28mm size. The UK stuff was MUCH bigger, nearly 1/48th scale. I was extremely disappointed at the time.
So, no, Mirilton has not remastered the castings.

Grenadier minis usually had more to scale bulk than Ral Partha. I have seen some recently, and they are noticeably 25mm in scale.
-
Ooh, I used to have those clowns back in the day. I wonder what happened to them. A good solid 28mm figure if we're still talking scales - won't have any trouble fitting in with most regular ranges these days (especially as the clown minis are all different height anyway).
-
The Clowns, along with more dwarves and a few other interesting pieces are now in the shop http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/browse/mirliton-miniatures/non-fantasy/cyberpunk/view/cp001-mirliton-bozo-s-clowns.html
Thanks
