Boot Hill Miniatures seems the best and does foot and mounted version: http://www.boothillminiatures.co.uk/index.htm

There are also versions from Artizan Designs (nice), Reaper Miniatures (sword too big), Blue Moon (dodgy sculpt) and Lance and Laser (out of production?).

I have all of them and find the Boothill Miniatures set the most useful.  But, they all have potential for gaming.  Artisan has a nice one (I think the first or second Zorro I bought.)

I thought the Frog God (real name and company name slips my  mind) still produces the L&L one (in the superhero line - there is a compatible female figure as a person of interest.)

Gracias,

Glenn

Well, I could... but I won't.

Correct answer - http://www.teamfrog.com/index2.htm - I think the owner's e-mail once referred to something akin to that moniker.

Alas, I don't see it anywhere!



Aside,  Wow, I didn't know about the Monty Python skit.  Or the "girl" videos...

I would have to say the Boot Hill Miniatures version (but then I would wouldn't I ;) lol)

http://boothillminiatures.co.uk/index.htm

As well as the masked bandit himself there are presidial troops, a fat sargento, dastardly governor etc. I plan to add to the range next year with a tax collector set and some Mexican civilians including Don's, Vaqueros and ladies. :)

Nice. I'm waiting for a stretch without large sculpting, moudling or casting costs to order the lot of them.

Dont forget Brigade.s El Capitan:

http://www.brigadegames.com/El-Capitan-The-Masked-Man_p_289.html

I have (and like) that figure - but it's more "Son of Zorro" or even a less known predecessor to Zorro in my mind.

Just mi dos centavos.

Gracias,

Glenn

It was Malamute's Zorro figures that broke the spine of my decision to leave 25/28 mm figures.  Then the soldados from DPS and 500 Nations Comanches that put the idea to rest pretty much permanently.   Finding adequate (if slightly inaccurate) figures for non-missionary California indians was icing on the cake.
