I thought this one was cool!
They have smudged faces, dirty boots and cloths, the weapons and shields are battered and used, in short, they are alive, and that's what I thought was wanted here.  I'm still trying, and am still psyched to be in the thing.

Greetings
I think, 80's mini ont une âme [have a soul] (<- french expression, don't know if it has a sense in english)

have a soul.  And yes a lot of older minis have a soul,  seemed to have that "otherness" that made them special. Perhaps because in those days nothing was as industrialized as it is today. Perhaps because the models wouldn't be known to the world instantly.

Today, with the internet and online photography you'll see every flaw or otherness or whatever prior to buy something. And if there are no pictures there is still the online community. You'll refute them or love them. And there will still be the one or other sculpt which won't be "mainstream" which you'll love and others not. And that will be great.
