No picture but I'm looking for a dastardly fellow - cloak and top hat -  standing over a damsel tied to the railway track. I seem to recall reading once that this was a show freebie but I could be wrong.

Please remind me of the origin of the figure and feel free to offer to sell me one.  Unpainted, of course.    :)

From memory it was a freebie given away at Partizan either last year or the year before. It may also have been sculpted by Matthew Bickley - I know he has done them before.

Try PMing Yankeepedlar01, David (his dad) may have have one or know of any psares.

Yes it was a Hammerhead/Partizan freebie. I will have a look as I may have a spare but I did send a set to Mr McBrice. There is a Harold Lloyd hero type too. I have seen a good version of him recently - SD forum?

There is a photo of the Harold Lloyd figure on the pulp board at the moment displayed by Yankeeperdlar01 entitled Harold the Hero.I am sure that i is also a Matt Bickley sculpt.

Did you manage to find a Harold mini ? May I ask how, because I'm far less lucky than you  :'(

The next Hammerhead show is only a couple of weeks away.

Does anyone know what the next figure will be ?
