Phoenix Miniatures 1670's Spaniards

[Arthur]

My stumbling upon these on the North Star website was purely accidental  as they were released with very little fanfare, but below are 1670's Spanish infantry suitable for the Dutch War in Flanders or the manning of any far-flung colonial outpost in South America. Since they're being sold under the Phoenix Miniatures label, they're not technically a part of North Star's 1672 range but they will complement it nevertheless, all the more seamlessly as the figures are obviously simple conversion jobs on Mark Copplestone's original Glory Of the Sun/1672 dollies (they're basically the 1672 sculpts with some remodelling on the heads by Tony Slocombe along with a few minor alterations to the coats).

How very peculiar...

Did I miss something obvious here ?

Well, only that they are essentially the same figures both sold by North Star. Don't understand why they would be separate ranges 

[Arthur]

The same thought occurred to me. Oddly enough, they're also more expensive than the 1672 range at £ 5.70 a pack of four figures - that's £1.42 per foot figure against £ 1.12 for the other Saleh/Copplestone sculpts.

Curiouser and curiouser

Curious maybe but I'm damned happy, I've been pestering folk for Spanish for the period for ages, including Mark Copplestone when the range was still his.
