Like the Aeetes set, the figures look like Copplestone sculpts.

Not bad. Much better than the last batch. I don't know if she's pretty enough to use for Helen, but the pack is a useful one!

Pretty nice figures.
Like the Helen figures.
Hey for only 55.00 dollars you can have three packs of them.

Sorry guys, Foundry prices are sometimes too much to take.

The face that launched a thousand ships..?

A nice release, I think. The Colchis group and Helen are the better of the lot.

sorry but they look total shit.
That Pegasi is bad for the 80's let alone now.

They're certainly the best of this batch, but they look to me to be by the same sculptor as the others: the square broad shoulders are very characteristic of his/her work (see also the Victorian civilians).

Yes. Better than the last batch; but for the prices they charge Foundry should find a sculptor and painter who have seen a woman. I enlarged those nymphs and the one on the left has an enormous bifurcated bush growing down both legs.

Yes the nymphs are particularly the worse set of the bunch, quite ugly.

The concept for the nymphs is really great, the execution less so. Still, the one with the weird growth between her legs aside, they look like they might be ok (not Foundry-price ok, but tabletop standard ok). But that paintjob doesn't do them any favours.

True that, I think with a different painter they might look much better.

you could be right, how told once, seeing the Amazons in "flesh" I was surprised how decent they are.
