Who offers figures for Dahomey, please?
« on: 03 March 2025, 04:28:41 PM »
Colonial Era enthusiasts, I've decided to expand my Dahomean army to give more trouble to my Colonial forces, but my memory is spotty.   I have painted up about 15 or 20 poses of Dahomean warriors and Amazons purchased 30 years ago, but don't remember who made them.  I also THINK I remember another more recent offering of 28mm Dahomeans, but don't know where to look or whom to ask.   Could someone with a better filing system let us all know everything there is to know about ordering 28mm Dahomey figures?  I will appreciate it.  Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Dixon do a nice but small range. Small as in they are tiny compared to Foundry's Darkest Africa miniatures.

Gringos do a range of 4  whole figures for the Dahomey but they are way bigger than Dixons offering so don't really fit side by side.

The above, and many cobblestone figs will work with them.   I think Castaway has many choices too, and they aint small.


How are ya, Chick?  We haven't crossed ships in years.

Thanks, all, I purchased the Castaway, Dixon, and Gringo 40s figures which I didn't yet have.  They look ok together to me.  The Castaways are the biggest and the Dixons are the smallest.
