Does anyone has pics of the UY metal miniatures?

Post by Murata »

Hello all,

I am a new member here, although I am an UY fan for a long time.

I just discovered that Dark Ages Miniatures did, at some point, some UY metal miniatures, but I can't find pics of them anywhere... :cry:

Does anyone have some pics of the above mentioned minis?

Has anyone seen some of those minis for sale on eBay?

Thank you all and glad to be aboard.

Were those by the same people that put out the Groo minitures?

I have those...somewhere hence why I don't remember who put them out (I remember a green blister pack on them). I wasn't aware of any Usagi ones though.

Here is a couple pics that were posted over in the Fan art section of the forum.... Great paint job, Gen especially looks awesome.

I thought I'd say hello and post two of my miniatures I've completed. Some of the set are better than others, but I think Gen is one of the best sculpts of the UY figs. I really want to do the ninja and Inazuma too. Anyway, I hope you enjoy a little look at these folks:

You are going to be at San Diego Con. Let me know which ones you need on the "what to bring" thread, and I will have them for you at my booth. You can either carry them back home, or mail them to yourself. The convention center has a UPS store.

Stan,

Since I never got these, it's probably time I did! Reserve a full set for me @ the SDCC. Thanks

Cheers Stan, I'll have a check on which ones I was sent and let you know :)

:cry: What about a poor portuguese who can't afford to travel to San Diego - USA?

How can I get all of these?

My suggestion would be to contact a member who is going to the Con to see if they'd be willing to help you out. Otherwise, Stan frequently visits Europe and posts "what to bring" topics for those trips too. While I don't think he's been to Portugal, he's usually in Spain.

The big drawback is that they are made of tin alloy, and are quite heavy to mail.

I had been invited to Spain, but had to decline because of my extended stay in Belgium and France. The festival indicated that they will invite me again in 2007.
