Good and bad

[Panzer21]

Best thing. Peter Pig. Thanks Martin.
Worst thing. The loss of small figure manufacturers like Warrior and Outpost and their associated ranges that are not available in any other form.

John,

Warrior miniatures are available and trading again - he's had help from relatives to restart the business.

Warrior coming back is lovely. I may look at spending some money with them.

In addition to the mention that Warrior are back, there are some Outpost figures available from this guy, 'mrfootballer' on eBay. He's amenable to requests, not just the listings themselves...

Martin - he can't even spell "Miniature" correctly on his eBay page...

Making me wonder whether he is legit, or a pirate?

I've bought from him in the past, via ebay. He acquired the moulds from the widow of the original Outpost guy, and has set up a 'cottage industry' style production, pretty much 'on demand'. Quite a few of the DBA crowd have bought from him, and I've heard no bad reports, only good ones. (Ref the spelling, the guy has a far east name, so my guess is that English MAY not be his first language,... but that's totally a guess, not based on info received. I'm always inclined to give credit to anyone who can 'work' in a language other than their own original one).

[Colonel Kilgore]

Thanks for the explanation, Martin.

Good for him for reviving the dormant moulds, then!

Yep, I thought they were gone for good...like so many others.

[John Watson]

I will have to enquire if he has any of the Guano Wars figure available.
Thanks Martin.

Most, if not all, the Outpost figures were designed by my mate Pete Foggin.

He might know the inside story.

Excellent Neil. Can you get Pete to give some information. We are interested.

All Pete knew was that the moulds were sold to the USA, apart from the Franco Prussian range which is now with Northumbrian Painting Services - Pete is working on 1866 Austrians to add to the range.

Googling turned up that Brigade Games had bought the 28mm moulds.

Doesn't help establish whether the eBay seller is legit or not as it's possible he did buy them from the widow. Pete traded his commission for a lump sum and was still owed some of it on the death of the owner.
