The one that took me the longest when I first saw these (just the bare minis, not your painted versions, Vampifan) was actually MacReady, because the body seemed a bit stockier than Kurt Russell did in the film.

I'm prabably the only person who has painted him as Pendragon. Whilst I agree with you that the Nancy figure is the least useful, I can always find a place for unarmed civilians in my figure collection. Victims and innocent bystanders do have their uses.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-53701430237823809452012-04-22T15:01:15.465+01:002012-04-22T15:01:15.465+01:00There are other figures of MacReady available, Rob...There are other figures of MacReady available, Robert.
