Ok - you had to paint on a lot of the detail but he did do a very extensive range. My old friend JR had some Peter Laing elephants - never the best castings, they were popularly referred to as 'angry mice'.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-29789862561634681952011-01-22T08:39:51.964+00:002011-01-22T08:39:51.964+00:00Conrad Kinch,

They were also very cheap ... which was another reason to buy them!<br /><br />Interestingly, they were reasonably in proportion anatomically speaking, and when one compares them with some newer figures, actually 15mm tall and not 18mm, as many now are.<br /><br />They would probably not sell well in today's 'super detail' figure market, but there are still quite a few of us who would buy them if they were available.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-16242055775288435232011-01-22T08:33:51.929+00:002011-01-22T08:33:51.929+00:00Jhnptrqn,
