The one with the dog is excellent! Great stache too.

Been looking forward to seeing that shooting party, and I can't wait to get them 

[AKULA]

i'll definitely be getting the Shooting party to add to my Yorkshire Gentry militia.

I think I need that shooting party.

They might find velociraptors a bit of a change up from pheasants.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic but do anyone have news concerning the WWI French Soapy was working on? Are they available yet? If so who sell them?

They're not available yet. I'm quite certain it will be gripping beast releasing them. The photos on the blog include their Arab infantry and it is confirmed on their site that they will be doing French colonial troops:

If you look on that page there are previews of various new heads including German Asia Corps in caps and helmets and British in those Topi's with the quilted neck cover. Looking forward to everything they have planned

[Calimero]

OK, thanks for the info Adam I appreciate that.

[Hammers]

Das' nice. Any news on when the Indian Army Sikh and Muslim heads will be released?

Is Gripping Beast going to be at Historicon?  If not which vendor can I pick these up at?

Nope. They parted company with their US distributor some time back - late 2008, or early 2009, I believe.

So, unless there's been a radical change in things, I'm afraid GB are direct order only from the UK and won'tt have a presence at Historicon. I have found them excellent to deal with, however. Placed two or three orders for Woodbine Design Co. stuff this year - fast delivery, zero problems. Shipping was quite reasonable - not much of a difference between it and a Priority Rate small box from USPS.

These figures are fantatic.  Where can I get them in the U.S.  Don't tell me from Old Glory but when I approach them at the Historicon I am told very politely to get lost.

I assume you mean Old Glory 15s. They stopped carrying GB a year or so ago. I don't think they have a US distributor at all right now. You can order direct though. I've done so in the past and it was a very quick and painless transaction.
