They look fantastic. Some very small changes from the picture ... for aesthetic or legal purposes I wonder? ... but lovely models even without the nostalgic element.

I do recall Don Troiani going after a Spanish company for producing a miniature based heavily on one of his paintings, but I don't know how it turned out. There are plenty of cases where IP has certainly been threatened but I think it gets tricky when you move from 2D to 3D.

Beyond my pay grade anyway.

Boris is great - I came across him when he did some work for Fields of Gore and was lucky enough to get him to sculpt a few pieces for me. I  hope he can get this out without issues, I would love to get that barbarian!

OMG!
That is amazing and looks like he is doing the background to present them. Time to sell some stuff if this becomes available I think.

Fabulous! It will be hard to resist buying those.

And about the copyright issue. Seriously, guys?

I mean, unless he calls those "Hero Quest", they are simply one of millions of fantasy heroes inspired by painting or movies or stories.
