They's purty.

sorry for off-topic, but I just had to look through some of the dictionaries until I have found the meaning of purty  :) I found that on http://www.thefreedictionary.com:

Variant of pretty.
Regional Note: Purty is probably the most common American example of metathesis, a linguistic process in which two adjacent sounds are reversed in order. Metathesis in English often involves the consonant r and a vowel, since the phonetic properties of r are so vowellike. For example, the word third used to be thrid, and bird, brid. By the same process, English pretty often came to be realized as purty in regional speech. Most such words stabilized because of the influence of printing and the resultant standardized spelling, but purty for pretty has survived in regional American dialects


what dialect would that be? just curious :)

sorry again for the off topic, will move that part of the topic later to an own thread.

Purty has a hillbilly or yokal quality to it.  Think of the guys in Deliverance... lol

As a southerner I have to say it is common to here "purty" more in the south than other areas of the US. But not all of us who use regional slang are of they Deliverance ilk.

After eight years, you ask this?  ;)

If you are asking about the make, they appear to be Gripping Beast miniatures.
