A new line of 25mm Minoan/Mycenean figures sculpted by Geoffrey
Valley are available from Bull Dancer Miniatures. Recently received
were a spearman with shield ($1.20) and archer ($1.00). These figures
are exactly 25mm in height (Barrett Measurement), and are on the slim
side, well-muscled and excellently sculpted. Both have finely done
head-pieces and the facial sculpting is very nicely done. The archer
has just fired his arrow and is garbed in a loin-cloth, bare-foot
and in a relaxed skirmishing position.
The spearman has a separately
cast shield, wears a sword and is also clothed in a loin-cloth. The
very highly recommended figures would do well for any of the Trojan
War period armies which are becoming more popular. Available from
Barry Lee at 4132-12th Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55407-3242.
* The Courier uses the Tobey Barrett Measurement [BM] System to simplify comparison of figure sizes. The number is the height in millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of base) to its eyes. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L=light, M=medium, and H=heavy. Thus, Hs will fit in with other Hs and some Ms, but not Ls.
