It's not so much the size of the sword that's off-putting, that's to be expected due to moulding limitations, but the fact that they didn't even attempt to model the style of weapon we're used to seeing for El Zorro.  It's a hack and slash blade, not an elegant gentleman's dueling weapon.  It would have been more acceptable to see something like those of Brigade Games' Swashbucklers.

Fair point!

Easily remedied though  :)

Not trying to take your thunder away, but speaking of Zorro:

A very nice figure, but..... he doesn't come with a mounted version ;)

No, I also like yours better. This one needs some serious putty-work on the cape....

True and as you have previously said you have held the greens in your hands,
next time it will be the lead version :D

The "Malamute version" have way more character in it?s sculpt too. Some might say that the Malamute figures are "caricatured" but they just cries to be painted.

I have just received the master lead figures, so mould making will commence very soon. Not long now. :)
