Hey Paul, just read the review and I'm curious to. But if someone has the figures and he wants to post the pictures, I propose to post them by PM.
It's a free forum and we have some younsters among us.

I did some careful internet hunting at one stage and eventually found pictures of the figures. The words "awful" and "poor" would be the best description. Like all of MIR's stuff, it was some badly converted figures cast in crappy resin.

Hey Chris, if you say "poor" and "awful", how did they get those ratings? They're not bad for a MIR set.

Well to me they looked badly sculpted, and badly cast. The anatomy of the figures made most of the "positions" look impossible for someone with that shape.

I agree that for a MIR set they were normal, the problem being that this is like being normal at a school for the intellectually disabled.

Hey Chris, I think you've misunderstand my words. I didn't see the figures but the ratings. That's what I ment.
Do you have a link to see this figures? Sent it by PM if you've got it. And to Chen to :mrgreen:

Nothing wrong happened here Cole and Benno would be curious to :lol:

I've also seen scans somewhere. But they didn't look very convincing. Seen it done better in this scale (but without any kind of uniform).

Whose done it better in this scale?, and surely the uniform would `get in the way`?

Personally, I think that the woman warrior in the Esci Barbarian's set looked better and way more like a "real" woman than any of the MIR set. And she's open to converting too I hear.... ;-)

So are the female warriors in Caesars Fantasy Adventurers and Elf sets. :drool:

Hey fellas...y'all want to see some really real lookin' women? Try the grocery store or a shopping center, maybe Church on Sunday. They're everywhere. All you have to do is leave the freaking house every once and a while!
