Zorro update
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:09:42 PM »
Ok Chaps,

I now have a very large box of freshly cast miniatures  ;D

.... Including Zorro on foot and mounted, all the dismounted lancers and all the dismounted Vaqueros.
I also have mounted lancers and mounted Vaqueros, but no finished horses for them yet.
The horses will be ready early june along with the next 8 figures plus mounted versions.
So by late june they will all be ready for shipping. :) (At last I hear you say!)
If anybody just wants  dismouted castings and the Zorro pack send me a PM.
My website will not be ready for a while, so you will only be able to contact me via LAF or Email,
I am away on holiday until 18th may so will not be picking up PM's until then.
By the way the shiny lead versions look even better than the greens... The detail stands out more. :D

Mrs Dewbakuk is going to be SO upset with you  lol

Any chance of pics of the ready figs? I'd suggest a thin grey/black wash over the casting to show all the details in a photo. It can then also be painted over easily without obscuring anything.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Good Morning Malmute....

When you refer to dismounted "lancers" are you talking about the Presidial troops?

I'll be ordering a bunch from you but I can always start with ther Presdials if that is the case.

Great news! Disney is finally releasing the 1957 TV series, starring Guy Williams, on DVD!

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Zorro-Seasons-1-and-2/11858

I remember watching this faithfully as a kid and enjoying it tremendously.  It was unfortunately also the source of one of my biggest childhood traumas! I was in the middle of watching what I believe was the last episode, with Zorro fighting Capitan Monasterio on the rooftops, when a transformer down the street blew and we lost all power! I never found out what happened because I never saw the episode again! I was crushed! Now, you'd better believe that I'll be one of the first in line to buy these sets! Great inspiration for the new figures.

The release of the Zorro series is indeed great news, but I bet it doesn't come out on on region 2,

There are so many old TV shows I want but the U.S. never release them on region 2: SWAT,MARTIAN CHRONICLES,TIME TUNNEL etc.

It displeases me greatly. >:( (Multi region DVD players aren't always the answer either.) >:( >:( >:( >:(

As regards the figures though, count me in for the lot when the horses are ready I'm seriously inspired by these.

I don't even have any suggestions for the range as you seem to be doing everything I want already. I'm looking forward to those American interlopers.

I've seen a region 2 version of the series in stores for at least a year over here...

No sign of it here in the Uk. I've settled for a 5 disc set of old black and white Zorro movies and the Antonio Banderas ones.

Sorry for the late reply, just back from holidays.
Yes I was referring to the Presidial troops as lancers.
I am planning to do some dragoons next ( the chaps in red tunics and helmets) Not sure whether to do the mounted versions open handed to take a lance or holding carbines? Any suggestions?

I think that open handed is the way to go... You can then either place a carbine or a lance in it?
