Adctually, when you consider that they are very old sculpts, they are quite nice... they may have some of that 80's goofyness about them, but I like cartoony models for horror games - I also very much like some of the Blue Moon gothic horror minis despite their obvious clichés.

And how can anyone not like that crazed woman with the axe...? ('Say, Darling, what are you doing with th*')  :D

There is a fair bit of loveliness on the Mirliton site and I am often tempted by it.

Has anyone in the UK ever ordered from them? I keep hearing terrible, dark whisperings about the foul cult called by some the Italian Postal Service...

If you'd checked the links section at fu!uk, you'd see they have a UK distributor.  ;)

Might be worth dropping them a line to see if they can order the 'new' CoC stuff. :)

Those Grenadier figures are great. When I did my figure purge a few years ago, although I parted with the Adventurers from the line, I saved two of the big box sets of the creatures and all the blisters right up until they started adding the old Chill figures and the D&D Monster packs to the line. Maybe someday I'll finish painting them. And the Champions superhero line I saved too, best superhero figures I've seen yet. Yep, those Grenadier figures had character.
We haul ours to kick theirs.

Yup seen em, have to say though that some of your prices on a few of the individual future wars figures is let's just say 'opomistic' as they are also sold by EM4 for about 40% of the price of yours.

But you do have other stuff that Doug doesn't have which completes the old range so good on you.

That's a fair comment, but I'm getting hammered by the euro to pound conversion rate at the moment. Doug has his own moulds and I think casts in house. I've never really been able to understand how he didn't get them all when Grenadier closed. Available money at the time I guess  ???

Well I did order a few bits so there you go, (old RT bits and a nice Cthulhu Nyarlathotep) so looking forward to getting those.

You do have a few things that Doug didn't get, (datapads, more bikes etc...) but then in reverse he's got quite a bit as it is.

Cheers again.

We have the UK sculpted lines which we bought the rights to. Cthulhu were US designed which we didn't buy the rights to - they weren't available at the time. As regards other people making and selling UK designed lines like Future Warriors - don't get me started >:( >:( >:(
