Drifting off onto the weird stuff again....
I just couldn't resist these wonderful figures from Antediluvian Figures they are beautiful, as good in the flesh as they are on the manufacturer's website.
Princess Bride is without doubt one of the best films ever, you either get PB or you don't. Just say "Princess Bride" to a stranger if their face lights with recognition you have a friend for life and you will proceed to bore all those around you with numerous film quotes.
Pics of each figure and link to the manufacturer on t'blog.

Yesss!!! PB taught me true love is the greatest thing in the world! Except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky, I love that. ;)

And let's be honest...the only film Cary Elwes has ever done that wasn't complete crap. lol

Princess bride miniatures
Without the eponymous Princess?
Hmmm
-
Inconceivable!
:D
-
All that is needed now is a set of rules that allows you to recreate one of the the best swordfights in film history!
And of course a man with 6 fingers.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights ?
-
The miniature look SPLENDID, although not necessarily true to the movie characters; AND they coincide with what I am reading.

Huh? I perfectly recognize the movie characters (from left to right) Inigo, Fezzik, Vizzini and Westley - and that was 30 years ago!
-
I agree Michi the models are very close to the actors in the film, Vizzini is probably the "least best" but I will reserve judgement until painted.

Lovely.
I cannot reconcile the Robin Wright of The Princess Bride (my second favourite movie of all time after 'Zulu' :D) with the Robin Wright of House of Cards. It's not just that she's now 50 instead of 20 - it's that she looks like a different person completely. I can't see Princess Buttercup in her at all. Totally unrecognisable. Deeply weird - or is that just me? ::)

Not just you. I went through the same thing when I watched it.
-
Any suggestions for a Buttercup figure that would fit in with these? Or will more figures be forthcoming in this range?
-
Nothing concrete but I would suggest further figures in the range would be forthcoming if these are successful
-
Awesome sculpts and a great movie too ;D

I thought the same thing years ago about her when I saw her Forest Gump. It's weird how you just reminded me of that!!
Anyhow, I loved these figures and have already placed an order.

I've purchased this set as well, and my personal choice for Buttercup is Hasslefree's 'Miranda':

With just little GS work for the belt I think she makes a more than decent option:
