Seeking old Mi-Go figure with bib and fork
« on: June 14, 2009, 10:04:45 PM »
Back in the middle 1980s Grenadier did a very cruel thing to me.  They released a promotional figure at some lame-ass game conference in the eastern United States, and never re-cast it. 

I've seen it in the lead, held one in my hand.  One of Grendier's MiGo figures wearing a bib with a human happy face on it, holding aloft a fork in it's pincer. 

I've always wanted to paint it.

I have plenty of stuff to trade if one of you clever board members attended that con and has the bibbed-MiGo gathering lead-oxide in a drawer somewhere.

Please advise - Chick Lewis chicklewis@aol.com

You should try em-4-Miniatures or Mirliton. They reproduce the old grenadier-stuff

Here's a link to a dummied up photo of one of the Grenadier MiGo poses (Thanks, Grimm) showing how I remember the bib and fork.  Fork may be held in a pincer on the other side, however.
