Who makes grey aliens on hover chairs?
« on: May 14, 2014, 08:07:31 AM »
Dear gentlemen, admiring matakishi's work, I noticed that he has some grey leader seated on hover chairs.
Who is the manufacturer?

Are they still available?

Thank you very much

If I'm not mistaken, I have those aliens right now...  :D

As for the manufacturer; they were somehow linked to the long defunct Harbringer magazine and the company making them disappeared together with the mag. From what I hear, they had quite some backorders that were not fulfilled.

The minis themselves have been OOP ever since. Maybe they got picked up by someone, but if so, I'm not aware of it.

I'm just glad I was able to buy a squad of them, including a leader in hoverchair, here in the LAF Bazaar, because I do not know how I would have acquired any otherwise...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

The Greys in question were from Griffin Miniatures and, as has been said, they have diisappeared.

They cam out, and disappeared a long time back, and then re-appeared for time, and have gone again.  A good bit before the re-appearance I broke down and emailed them directly.  Got a nice reply and arranged a private sale, along with some then un-released UFOs.  Worth giving it a shot

good luck.
