Possible new Alamo range in the works

We've got a H&A Alamo too, and no figures at all.

Currently using it for Indian Mutiny, Back of Beyond, Boxer Rebellion, and anywhere else that looks dusty or arid, but would love to use it as a Zorro setting, so might consider a few figures..... Could Zorro (and some fat villains) be amongst your personality sets ?

Well, by popular demand I will do Presidial cavalry first, both dismounted and mounted variants, a fat sargento and a certain masked avenger dressed in black mounted and dismounted.
I am speaking to my sculptor tonight, so we begin at last :)

I wouldn't go that far!  :o  I expect this will be a labour of love for me as I know its a really niche period and will not appeal to everybody. As long as I get to produce some nice figures for my own collection and if I sell a few along the way it will be a bonus :)

Yes, then I will alienate all my friends with my horrendous pricing strategy of £20 per personality figure... Anyway got to go, I am off to spend my first millions on a yacht, a holiday home in the Bahamas and a date with Salma Hayek :D

I'd love to do that period one day. The whole story is so good for gaming.

Good luck I really hope you do better than covering your costs. 8)

Should be able to find some useable figures among these Pulp Figures packs:

HI Lee, I am not sure they quite fit in with my Alamo ideas. But when I make my first million and have set up my global empire. I will design some especially for you :)

The Alamo has just been used as a Gondor desert outpost under assault by Harad in LoTR game, so I think it's time to get a Zorro figure and put it to proper use.
