Does anyone know who makes these figures?
« on: 13 April 2017, 12:06:11 AM »
These 2 have SR 6 on their bases.


The handgunner seems to be a different manufacturer from the other 3, the billman has SR and a number, can't read it, on it's base.


Cheers in advance if anyone identifies them.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

Are they closer to 25mm than 28mm? They could be old Minifigs  or even Hinchcliffe.
I shall check with an old friend of mine who knows a bit a bout older ranges.

25mm. The bases are the wrong shape for Minifigs for 3 of them I think. Hinchcliffe is a good suggestion, I'll see if I can dig up a catalogue. Thanks.

Hi there. I may well be wrong here but I think the three with round bases may be old Garrison Renaissance Swiss . As for the handguns, another vote for minifigs. There is e-bay picture on the web of some Garrison medieval & I think one of your open handed guys is in one of the lots. Good luck getting a definitive answer

Hi again, the handgunner IS minifigs. Hundred Years war range code HYW 11 , picture on Caliver Books website.

Well done that man! My friend and I were scouring through the Hinds Figures website to see if we could track down any of the poses - there's some old Hinchcliffe poses that are pretty close. Garrison may well be a possibility too for the others. :)

Another vote here for Garrison, Hinchliffe figures were more 'spindly' and Minifigs short for their weight; just like the handgunner figure.

Thanks all. The handgunner is definately Minifigs, thank you. The bases of the 3 billmen don't look like garrison bases. Here is one of the billmens bases.



And this is a Garrison base.



Of course, maybe Garrison didn't base all their figures the same.

Okay... I think I have it!  :)

I'm guessing 'SR' is Swiss Renaissance.
