A Lenin figure?
« on: 03 February 2014, 10:36:30 AM »
Hello all, I'm not a regular on this sub forum but I think it must be the right place for this question...

I'm after a 28mm (or larger) figure of Lenin for a statue, is there anything out there? Buying singly would be very preferable.

Thank you!

I think this figure is 54mm will be just right for the monument.

That's a great figure and a nice variation on the typical 'Lenin hailing a taxi' pose. This one looks more like 'Lenin buying his copy of the Evening Standard and twenty Craven A'.

Cuprum, can you still find small Soviet statuettes of Lenin, etc in Russia?

I think the answer would be yes. There is an article with photos in the Daily Telegraph today of a statue of Lenin in Kiev being removed (in December) and now replaced with a gold painted toilet.

Can't find the later bit online, its in the paper edition today. There is a video of the statue being removed though. So if Lenin survived in Kiev until a couple of months ago...

I think it will be difficult. In the Soviet period, such figurines almost not made. Then the produced a small busts and sculptures are large enough (about 40 centimeters tall). Now nothing of the sort, of course, at all not  manufactured.

I converted a Dixon cowboy to make my own Lenin figure years ago.

Is this any good? I realise that the box is 'Stalin and Co', (sounds like a bad sitcom) but the Molotov (third from the left) might pass. The figures are 54mm, but if you want it for a statue that shouldn't be a problem, and it's also very cheap - £6.50 in the UK. (The models are by ICM)

I just purchased a 1/35 scale resin statue of Lenin made by Verlinden Productions, USA. I haven't assembled it yet but it looks like it will be about 8" tall including the pedestal. It has damage sculpted into it, as though it was standing in a Stalingrad city square. I'll be fixing the damage with filler.
