Better Orangutan
« on: May 07, 2014, 03:06:15 PM »
Currently using the seated 'Clix "Super Ape" for am Orangutan (which works adequately for my needs) but anyone have a figure they can suggest that would be more "orangutan-ish" looking that doesn't cost  a fortune.

Gracias,

Glenn

Okay figure, but I think I will wait and see how they recover from the current status before I seriously consider it.

Thanks, love the figure, but it doesn't really fit into a Sumatran VSF jungle setting without a little modification...   lol

Well, there's always this fellow: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/micro-art-studio/discworld-miniatures/the-librarian/prod_15847.html?review=write

But he doesn't look very Sumatran either.  :P

Blocklisted at work.   >:(   lol  Their lists are getting longer...  ::)  Guess I was not the only person going 'outside' when 'stuff' processes...

LOL, I will check it out at home.

Appreciate any leads (or plastics...  ::)  have to run now...   :D   ;) )

Gracias,

I've got a discworls librarian mini from the early nineties. Don't know who made it but I got it in one of those fantasy souvenir shops at the time as a single polished pewter figure. It's 28mm anyway.
I think there were two versions: one walking and one with a book. Considering they were sold in this kind of shops I suppose they were widely distributed at time and you may find one easy enough.
If you don't believe in lead, you're already dead.

For VSF, with the right backstory, he might work!   ;)   lol
