I love this sculpt because he looks so static and relaxed, but we all know this big dude could explode into menacing action in a sec.LTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-27373522860720306212011-01-25T11:22:46.691+00:002011-01-25T11:22:46.691+00:00Thanks, Colin.

The figures are available separately from HF but one figure in each boxed set will be converted slightly to create a unique figure. I already have them all so I doubt if this would persuade me to buy any of the boxed sets.<br /><br />2. It has been mentioned on the Forum of Doom that HF will be increasing their prices soon. I don't blame them, as they are only a small company and their prices have not changed for years. Whatever they charge I will still support themnd I recommend as many of you readers do as well.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-15292975306473251222011-01-25T11:13:34.365+00:002011-01-25T11:13:34.365+00:00Nicely done Bryan as always!

Regarding the heathen americans not playing cricket - proof of their decadence as if any were needed! - I seem to recall hearing that it is played in New England, those people even play rugby!<br /><br />Also regarding Hasslefree generally; in an order I got a couple of days ago on the ususal information sheet they include, there were a couple of items of note:<br /><br />1, It seems that Mantic Games are going to produce sets of 4/5 HF adventurer's - box art piccies were on the sheet. The rest of Mantic's stuff is plastic, but it wasn't mentioned if the HF sets will be ...<br /><br />2, HF will become VAT registered in the UK shortly ... so this will mean their prices will be going up.colinmnashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342098641859314933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-47932065111271154392011-01-24T20:43:40.161+00:002011-01-24T20:43:40.161+00:00Doug, you are a star, my friend!

That's great as it means I can use both figures of Ray in my ATZ campaign without them appearing anachronistic. <br /><br />Regarding ordering from Hasslefree Central if you're worried about postal charges just drop me an e-mail at vampifan(dot)talktalk(dot)net and I'll work something out for you.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-46745043778993656212011-01-24T17:33:46.724+00:002011-01-24T17:33:46.724+00:00Brayn- Cricket bats are available over here in the...Brayn- Cricket bats are available over here in the States, but they are more of a specialty item, I believe some of the universities here in the states might have a cricket team. A quick price search does find there are companies in the US that cary cricket equipment and looks that bats start around $60 for a budget Kashmir Willow Bat and go up to a couple hundred for "high" grade willow bats.<br /><br />Now as always nice work on the figures. I wish that Hasslefree figures where more readily available here in the US, I would be getting me some right now, though as it is I will have to place an overseas order more then likely to Hasslefree for the figures I want.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-48749549652090496312011-01-24T14:46:24.765+00:002011-01-24T14:46:24.765+00:00Good idea to replace the cricket bat on Dynamic Ra...Good idea to replace the cricket bat on Dynamic Ray.

Tempted to get Dynamic Ray and replace the cricket bat with a baseball bat, for variety. Or perhaps just add some skates to create a 'Crickate', a la 'You've Got Dead on You'?Zombie Adhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927366159778203819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-78052762973036516852011-01-24T12:15:34.334+00:002011-01-24T12:15:34.334+00:00You have to smile at Ed's choice of T-shirt in...You have to smile at Ed's choice of T-shirt in the film.

I'm guessing not, which would make the two Rays better suited for a UK-based campaign (or anywhere else where cricket is a national sport).Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-26763596731436934792011-01-24T04:56:36.011+00:002011-01-24T04:56:36.011+00:00Did a little research right after my post above on...Did a little research right after my post above on Cricket bats, seems they are traditionally made from Willow, the quick research didn't tell me what type of willow though. If we take the weeping willow tree in the back yard down, I might try to save some of the wood to make into a Cricket bat or two.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-26376980687479453872011-01-24T01:53:30.401+00:002011-01-24T01:53:30.401+00:00Bryan- I havent fully read all the post, but I hav...Bryan- I havent fully read all the post, but I have yet to see cricket bats in any sporting goods stores here. What we do have are Baseball Bats, Golf Clubs and Hockey Sticks galore.
