For a real take on old school....

hmmmm, all nice and well those figures being vintage and all. But honestly, I think they suck big time! 

Only my personal opinion of course.  I have never seen them before and therefore have no fond memories of them which of course is the idea behind celebrating vintage models. So as long as you like them who am I to say what's good and what's not?

Even as some one who admired Jack Scruby, I would tend to agree with that description.
My memories of Scruby minis came before the Fantasy minis came out...around the mid to late '60s. His Historical things were just as dreadful individually as the Fantasy ones, but they were never intended to be collector's pieces. Scruby miniatures were created to be used in armies that numbered a thousand or preferably more.
When they were all painted up AND you were standing on the opposite side of a fairly wide gaming table they made an impressive sight....optimal viewing distance was about 4' away. I, myself, used J.A.L. minis; they're were also pretty horrid, but, being taller by comparison, they seemed more statuesque.
