Re: Mountain Men Figures So random. Mao looks like he's hitchhiking. And what's up w/ the jorts and leggings?

Re: Mountain Men Figures I like the saucy stance Lenin's sporting.

Re: Mountain Men Figures These are maybe 1/20 scale?
They would be killer hanging around some SF3D models.

Re: Mountain Men Figures I saw this a few weeks ago. I thought they were very cool but expensive. I wasn't even sure if they were resin or plastic or what. I didn't know it was Thoreau, I think I had thought he was Lincoln. I actually admire Thoreau, so ahead of his time and very current just now.
My favorite of the lot (as toys) is Mao, I just love the stance and the finger up, just waiting for a ride.

Re: Mountain Men Figures Wow. Those are strange on a few levels. I like the flesh material for the face and boots but not for the arms or legs. I gotta get me a pair of those face-skin boots.

Re: Mountain Men Figures I too am loving these guys. But that is a pretty hefty price tag. I can't help but wonder if the artist for MR is off either laughing to himself or thoroughly discouraged with the public at the irony of this.

Re: Mountain Men Figures Hahaha. "Thumbs up to mass starvation!" Pretty kooky but I get a Kozik vibe (from content, not execution, that's not a jab or anything either.) zapatoloco wrote: Lovely dudes ! but alittle steep (!) at 145£ for the set...

Re: Mountain Men Figures The sculpting is great on these.
They need to release an army men green set.
