Artizan/Copplestone announce joint range

[UncleRhino]

Although I hated the Austin Powers films, I just can't stand Mike Meyers, there would be something kind of funny about a rules set called either

Groovy Adventures or Shagging Adventures

I don't think that would be necessarily the angle that Rich wants to take, but you never know.

Oddly enough, before I saw this post, I started rereading the 007 novels from the beginnig this last week.  I remember seeing those The Spy Who Loved Me when I was a kid and that was just so cool.  Before reading the novels about ten years ago, I just could not stand most of the films from the seventies on.  Now, I actually LIKE Moonraker etc...  Moore was just rotten, and I detested Pierce Brosnan.  I gave Timothy Dalton a pass because he was Prince Barin.  Honestly, I don't know why only one film with George Lazenby was made, but that is one of the best, hands down.  

Hell, I think I have Live and Let Die to blame/thank for my intense lust for Jane Seymour...either that or Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.  

Anyhow, I digress...I hope to see a model with his shoe off and talking into it.  Get Smart made me laugh in reruns as a kid.  It would also be nice to see a Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg set.

I understand the reason George Lazenby only made one Bond film was he turned down the chance to play the character again thinking it would damage his career (Up until this film he was a model, having done a Marlborough cigarette ad I think) Not the best decision to make. ::
The producers then went back to Connery and lured him back with more money.

... and that was because of Diana Rigg!    :mrgreen:

This range has got me very excited, but at the same time a bit pipped at the post  :cry:

Though not having to do the planned 'Geezers Royale' range will leave me the funds to concentrate on more cops and robbers and the 1970's horror range.

Artizan figures are top drawer and I for one will be throwing my money at them. :love:

I can't wait to see preview pics since I won't be at Salute.  :cry:  

I wonder if they'll do the Avengers?

Can't wait for these.

Holy sh%$t.

While it is always cool with new ranges I personally see no immediate use for these miniatures. If I was to give up on the 1900-1940 ranges I am currently keeping myself to and expand into a new Lead Adventure areas with some purpose, it would rather be to Future Zombie Outbreak (just because Hasslefrees are so darn paintable) or VSF just because... well, you know.

Seconded. I'm sure the new range will be a blast but I have lots of themes to do I really prefer at the moment.

My brain says no, but once I see the preview pics I 'll turn into a dribbling obsessed imbecile who won't sleep until I've got my grubby mits on them!

Thanks for the appreciation on the Rig. Darren at Black Knight did a truly outstanding job on this for me. It took over a year I think, but is pretty modular as all the buildings on the main platform are free standing.

I think the new Kiss Kiss Bang Bang range will give lots more opportunity for play.

what is ``Black Knight`` ?

Grimm - Sorry that's Black Knight Studios. It's a one man operation but Darren builds some great terrain - there are a few more examples here:

No website I'm afraid, but if you are interested send me a PM and I'll send his email address.

Wow.

I've seen (and bought) the preview pack today at Salute. They're great! However, I handed them over to my painting friend at the event today, so still no pics to post for you yet I'm afraid.
