The blue skinned ones look like they are a pair of the old Rogue Trooper miniatures as well :) .

Yup.  Two of the Rogue Trooper metal figure (nowt to do with "Rogue Trader") range as replacements for the plastic meeples in the old GW Rogue Trooper board game (they had licenses for Judge Dredd and RT games in the 80s).  There's a Gunnar (rifle) - one of the genetically-engineered infantry (GI) troopers from Rogue's unit and a Major Magnam (GI officer) with pistol.

This! While there are certainly recasters about, the paranoia about it from some people is really nuts and can be a pain for those of us who bought up large in the old days! When I sell multiples of rare minis I always include a small bio about how I have been gaming a long time and stocked up well in the early 90s  :)

Lovely minis by the way.

Thanks - I had not thought of being accused of being a recaster!  They were part of a really big purchase by the club and have seen a lot of action over 3 generations both sons were and 2 grandsons are "into" of gaming so have suffered casualties along the way and the survivors are a bit bashed!

Sounds like something a recaster would say...  lol
I wish I'd had the money to stock up, lol
