Nice work! I have a bunch of these figures as well, and it will be nice to see what you do with them.

Ooh!  Nice work.  A bit "primary" for my preference but of course it suits them oh so well.  Guess I"ll be checking your blog out for more 15mm sci-fi goodness...

(The weapons actually look a lot more like old school Klingon disruptors than Starfleet phasers, but then again these aren't "Star Trek" figures at all, are they.  You just painted them that way :))

True, the manufacturer does make a sprue with a more phaser-like pistol, but I just stuck with the figures "as-is" rather than converting them.

....Oh, and they do look a little bit like the pistols from the original Battlestar Galactica, don't they?  And yes thatmight be a hint about another upcoming 15mm project.  Who else are the Sybots going to fight?  ;)

I just recently found out about these guys only to find that they've ceased trading/taking orders. I emailed them directly but have yet to receive a reply. Does anyone know what their plans are? Has the range been sold? Any intention of returning?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I emailed too, much earlier this year. I haven't heard anything, but would still very much like some.

I got my answer over at TMP here: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=429574

Not really what I was hoping to hear, but understandable.

I thought they were Galaxy Quest figures :~}

Shucks, didn't know they were unavailable.  That's what I get for not buying on sight.

There was a not-Mirror Universe set of these too, right?
