Leliepvre's mannequins in the French Army Museum and I believe that these surpass them. The level of functional detail recreated is simply beyond belief.<br /><br />I second Steve's comments regarding the commercial 1/6th figures that I have seen; too much like G.I. Joe toys. These, however, are an example of a master sculptor applying his talents to an established medium and elevating it to an art form. Well done Tony!<br /><br />BillSir William the Agedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503300059802446520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-20454624620457179372010-01-10T11:07:01.638-08:002010-01-10T11:07:01.638-08:00Wow !

I like everything about it (even if he does look like a cross between Mel Gibson and Colin Farrell ;-)), even the irregular shape of the tricorne is convincing. <br /><br />It's funny, I disliked the 1/6 section of Toy Soldier & Model Figure magazine. The figures were crudely articulated and collecting them seemed uncomfortably close to grown men playing with dolls. But this is elevates 1/6 figures to an altogther higher plane.<br /><br />SteveCorporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.com
