He's the hunchback character from "A fistfull of Dollars more". I think the models hit the movie characters very well.

Has anybody got the "Western Gunfighters" box set from Grenadier? I'd like to know how they compare to Foundry.

Possibly Impassable Terrain feature? Certain to cause gunslingers pause to contemplate trying to dash thru!

I have the box set from years ago.
They were on the large size when they were released, taller than the early Foundry stuff, but probably ok with most modern stuff like Artizan, and the larger Black Scorpian figures. The Grenadier set includes a lovely fat Mexican bandit, very nice Gambler and a cowboy in chaps with a winchester and ten gallon hat and a lovely saloon girl. Excellent sculpts. :)

Mirliton has re-released a nice chunk of that old box set... it has the best of them
I think... the Mexican, Saloon Girl, the Barkeep with the sawed off shotgun and top hat, etc.  The box has 10 miniatures in it.

I think the figures scale well with the newer western miniatures but are a little larger if compared to the old Foundry range.

Highly recommended! :D
