Do you know where to get these "Monkey" miniatures?
« on: 02 September 2013, 07:02:52 PM »




Does anyone know where these figures can be bought?  A now non-existent French company called "MSB Toys" used to make them.  There are Monkey miniatures available from a few different sources apparently, but that version of Monkey is very suitable for a project that I have, so I am trying to get my hands on that one in particular.

Any help appreciated :)

They were made by MSB Toys, a French company. The bad news is I believe they folded several years ago  :(

Thanks Auton.

I guess I will take a punt in the Bazaar, just in case...

I have these which are a little on the small size, the Black Hat ones which are nice and readily available and a set which are my favourites which I bought via pm from someone in Australia or NZ who did a private project IIRC.  I cannot find a picture on the HD but I will dig them out when I get chance and post.

I have seen greens for some new ones on Frothers which I think are the ones mentioned above for a Kickstarter - nice too.

I have been looking for a figure to serve as a decent proxy for Monkey as interpreted by the 2010 sci-fi/post-apocalyptic video game "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West".  The game character was voiced and motion captured by Andy Serkis.  The Monkey shown above looks pretty suitable to represent this guy.



The Black Hat guys dont look like that guy, but the MSB figure is quite a good match I think.  Do you guys have links to shots of the upcoming KS miniatures?

Battlefield Berlin has a few left  ???

I think that that is a set of busts rather than 28-30mms :(

That's why the pic didn't look quite right when I found my link ;D

An absolute plethora and I didn't even list the ones I found in HK and China as I knew they would be impossible to get

Thanks for the other links guys!

Yeah, I hesitated about buying them from Matakishi and missed my chance.  Silly of me, particularly considering that I had bought other figures from that same thread.
