Dear Mike Owen
« on: March 24, 2011, 08:56:52 PM »
Dear Mike,

                     I have been avidly collecting your Old West Miniatures for a couple of years now. I really like your Bat Masterson and Doc Holliday miniatures. Although you have provided us with many Western historical personalities, there remains one glaring omission. I'd really like to see a Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett figure. I would hope you would consider these two and maybe some of the other "regulators" in your future Artizan releases. Thanks.

Billy the Kid was one of Artizan's specials a few years ago.

I'll second that!!! I posted the same idea on the Artizan Yahoo! Group a week ago. I have managed to track down a lot of original photos of the Regulators of that would help (?).

I think the photos might lead to some inspiration for Mike. A "Regulators" pack with Charlie Bowdre and Tom O'Folliard(?) would be a welcome addition as well.

OK - I've started a new Album with Regulator pics; most are period pics, but some were taken many years later (for those that survived anyway). Frank Coe should be armed with Sharps carbine; others unknown.

Great idea! And whatever happened to the Magnificent not Yul Brynner figure ?
Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Well, there is always Knuckleduster for the 7, but yeah I would love to see some new Artizan Cowboys, it seems like forever since we've seen any  :(.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

He did Steve McQueen too, but then got pissed off because the feedback on The Yul figure was not positive, so he binned the project :'(

Looks like someone else will have to do them ;) ;D

Yup, right shame that. Probably people who wouldn't evn buy them.  :-[

It would be very nice if another manufacturer would see their way to do something..  ;)

The thought did cross my mind ;) :D

But it wouldn't be for a while though, lots on the Boot Hill agenda in the short term. ::)

Feedback from who?!!!!! He didn't exactly over publicise them! If it wasn't for Seansdaddy over on SD's site I'd never have heard of them! That pisses me off, thanks a bunch Mike  :-[

Half joking Mike, but only half  ;)

Mounted versions of some of the models on foot in the range wouldn't go amiss either.... Always nice to have foot and mounted versions of the same model for gaming LotOW.
