Does anyone have the Foundry "Rippers!" set?

Does anyone have the Foundry "Rippers!" set shown here?

http://wargamesfoundry.com/historical_ranges/single_packs/victoriana/victoriana/rippers_vc029/?comprisesofback=42471

I was curious about the victim figure hidden behind the kneeling ripper--is it just an ordinary corpse, or have they obscured it because it's too gory to show? The mind reels.

This is purely idle curiosity, though the set certainly offers a lot of mustache for your money.

I wonder that too, open guts maybe?

I like the figures (waiting for a Christmas sale as we wpeak...)

Sorry to raise this from the dead, but years later I finally found some pictures of the victim figure--and indeed, it's exceptionally graphic.

Glad you did breathe life into this thread! The miniature in question is very graphic but the diorama it was incorporated into on the site you linked to is a piece of inspirational genius!

Yes indeed. Very nicely done. The fishmonger's cart is actually my favourite in that diorama - brilliant.

I think I have that blister, unopened, of course. Or that's what I recall from making an order elsewhere, thinking whether I need a ripper figure, and then noticing I already have a full blister of them. ::)
