Did the minis in the pictures here ever get released?

Ebob hasn't been working on his range for years (a pity), even though his Normans were released well after these galloglaich were previewed and I think the latter had already been master moulded too.

Using plurals as a second pose had also been shown on his site:

I took it that the Normans were only released so that he could use them in Saga  :D

That is a major bummer.

I hate seeing perfectly good greens disappear into obscurity.

I do love that main pose of the Gallowglass (possibly taken from the image in the Osprey book) and mourn its demise, but the others look quite awkward to me and not showing enough weight in the sword.

I would love some of those Gallowglass- I haven't seem any that compare. Ebob also had some beautiful Mongol horsemen that are now discontinued. :(

A pity, but sometimes Ebob is not really existing. You see pictures of fantastic stuff, but it will never released(Vietnam, Irish). Did someone see him and has still contact?

I'd forgotten all about those, they were fantastic

Yeah, WS&S asked me to do a Mongol-themed cover for their magazine a few years back and we wanted to use Ebob's Mongols for that, but apparently he wasn't interested in getting the moulds redone to cast us up some. We tried to argue that it would likely generate a lot of interest and he'd recoup his outlay many times over, but to no avail. I had to use Gripping Beast in the end, which just had to do.

I had a brief email exchange with him recently about an order.
