Britains AZW - Stock Photos v ACtual Photos (1 Viewer)

[Gazza]

Guys

This year when I saw the Collectors Club figure for AZW I was not overly impressed and thought about whether or not to keep my membership. I had the same opinion about 20035. Pics are below.





However, I decide to get the club figure and am glad that I did because I think it's good. SO I then also ordered 20035 and again - it's a good figure.








Really think W Britains need to sharpen up this aspect because they do not do justice to their figures.

Here they are in my dio to show how they look far better than stock pics.

These pictures remind me of Zulu Dawn a bit. When they are pouring down the hill towards the camp, the sun hits their shields and you can tell which are made of hide and which are not because they gleam!

The shield on 20035 is excellent because it actually looks like hide. The Collectors Club figure looks like he is carrying a Zulu Dawn shiny shield!

The early figures are head and shoulders above the latest offerings in terms of quality of finish.

Somebody said a while ago that Britains figures look toylike (well they are toy soldiers aren't they:rolleyes2but I think they are very good.

Anyone else notice the actual Zulu figure 20035 is slightly different to the one in the catalogue picture ?

Gazza, the AZW is not my thing but that's a very impressive figure.

Good spot - just noticed this myself.

Have to say I do like this figures and they go well in the dio - just think they need to improve the stock pics as they do not do them justice.

That is a nice dio Gazza {bravo}}

After you posted your pictures you had me checking my figures to find my one, I couldn't find it, I found an early Zulu with the feather (20005) then I realised Britains had released the 20035 figure without a feather:redface2:

Painting looks good to me . My issue with this figure is the facial features. He does not look like any Zulu I have seen in photos . In fact he looks like the head could be a anglo painted in dark tones. Is a different sculptor doing these?
