Great to see Asterix and pals- are they Metal MAgic? Both entries epitomise the wonderful variety of both the comp. and hobby. Could'nt resist voting for the subtle tones on the goddess and girls

Tough - both entries show talent and dedication of their makers, but the highly detailed bases and some nostalgic memories  8) made it for the Asterix group this time ...

Both nice sets but I have to go with Asterix.  I just wish I could get Asterix figures on this side of the pond.  Unfortunately, due to licensing or some such thing, I can't even order them from here.  I could buy them if I visited Europe and bring them back with me but I can't have a distributor send them to me! Weird!

The Asterix miniatures are indeed from the Metal Magic range of Asterix boxes and blisters and were sculpted by Josef Ochmann.

Ben, pour moi c’est évident...Astérix et Obélix.  Vive les Gaulois ! Franchement, j’en suis bouche bée. Bravo !

Well, for me the choice is obvious...Astérix et Obélix. Long live the Gaulois! Awesome! Nicely done!
