Ebay always "Amazes" me...

[Conquistador]

This seller is sure that his Jane and Tarzan is not available for retail purchase:

VERY RARE 25mm WARGAMES FOUNDRY TARZAN & JANE
Item number:141270979415

When I wrote an e-mail to him asking if he would re-list if this didn't sell (as it hasn't yet after multiple times,) so I could id on it next Friday (pay day) and casually mentioned it is rare as a pair but hardly rare or OOP...

Seller said -

Dear zorrog,

The Tarzan and Jane are rare they were given to you if you bought a lot of items from foundry they were never made for retail what other figs are you talking about

- <snip seller id>

Paraphrasing, I said go to: http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/our-ranges/darkest-africa/explorers and look at the third figure from the left in DA011 and third figure on the right in DA016.  I bought the former set in April, 2014, and have all the figures from the second set collected individually or in small lots from Ebay/friends.  I think they are the same figures as in the Ebay auction.

They are easily available from foundry in retail, what is rare is having them as a pair without having to buy two sets.  So they are technically rare without all the other figures in the sets, which is why I am attracted to buying them...  they would be nice alternate figures equipped with spears and/or reatas.

So, are the two figures the same as the ones in the Foundry sets?  I have them in my IHMN Companies and they look like the ones on the Ebay auction.  Are they the same in your opinion?

Gracias,

Glenn

Her knife looks longer than I recall but they sure look like the ones I have.

Good Point!  I noted that after my Ebay e-mail to him, (of course,  never fails,) but I am not sure that isn't a normal variation or the angle of the picture.

I don't mind being wrong and I do want another "Foundary" 'Jane' to become a blonde Sheena since my spare 'Jane' is painted a brown skinned brunette (yes, Coffee colored hair, brown eyes, and olive skin tones are a personal weakness of mine - wife, Canadian born, has the first two - and is the most beautiful woman in the world IMO, as it should be,) and I want a blond, caucasian stereotype Sheena to go with her fraternal twin.

Maybe he has the pre-retail version indeed...

EDIT: Her hair is silver now but her mom had a picture of her (younger) with a guitar and she looked very Joan Baez looking. 

Quite improper for LAF aside, why is it (Baez, Ronstadt,) that the women who sing/sang so attractively when I was younger had such daft leftist politics?

Because they cared... unlike the daft right wingers who only care that they are allowed to carry guns on school buses

Well played.    

Guilty of the 'carry' thing (even on school buses) but also care about people and justice.
