Post by: Banderium on November 28, 2007, 10:30:29 AM: New Mirliton cow boys:

I've seen them saturday at the italian convention Dadi.com. They are tall and slender, and nice too!

Just a note: the price at the convention (17 euro) was higher than that of the site :freak:

Post by: Malamute on November 28, 2007, 11:09:04 AM: Sorry to be a bit difficult, but these are not new. They are a re- release of a set of figures that Grenadier minaitures sold back in the late 1980's - early 1990's.
At the time they were very tall in comparison to existing 25mm figures. But now they are perfectly sized for Artizan etc. I have the set and they are very good sculpts, they stand up well against most current sculptors.

My favourites are the gambler, the Mexican, the Clint Eastwood man with no name and the cowpoke in chaps in casual pose and the saloon girl. She paints up very well as a Salma Hayek, Mexican babe :D

I hadn't seen these before, so thanks for posting! :D
