Connoisseur Figures (5 Viewers)

[Combat]

You don't often see a lot of female figures, but here is a new one from Aeroart (Roman woman):

 

[Currahee Chris]

yeah, they have started doing some Roman civilians- would be nice to go with a lot of the Roman JG buildings.

What a striking figure!!! The detail on the toga is fantastic!!

I've just taken my first step (of what will be tiny, well spaced steps) into the 'connoisseur' range, with a Tatiyana painted Pegaso piece. The first pic is the Pegaso catalogue pic,

​

the second is of mine (bought in a shop, not pre ordered).

​

I hardly have any Romans, (though I'd like to, of a First Legion price/standard), but this chap caught my eye.

Great figure :wink2: He is one of my Favorites ( see my album eye to eye if you have interest ) I'm also hoping First Legion will venture into the Roman World . I find that for the price you really get a bargain , and they will fit well with my Russian painted Roman figures i have collected over the years . Happy Collecting Gebhard

Both those Romans are fantastic...super pieces to add to your collection. Congrats!

Thanks for the heads up Gebhard. Of course, their "modern" and my " modern" might infer two different things. ^&grin

Nice to see Patton sold out before Herr Hitler.

I can see why he caught your eye, that is a great looking piece.^&cool I too would love to see a line like that. Maybe some day Matt will give in to his passion for HBO Rome.

Just revised our shelves with old figures and found some soldiers from our old serie - "Kostjushko rebellion, 1794". This serie was made in 1992-1993, even made diorama "Battle at Rashlavicy". I don't know is this diorama is able to see in Warsaw today... Some figures I show to all you

I'm amazed.
You have figures for every occasion {eek3}

I've been wanting to share pics of some of my Russian figures for a while now, and I'm finally getting around to it. I bought my first "connoisseur figure" about three years ago, and although very expensive, I have never regretted it. I really enjoy them a lot. As the prices of most other manufacturer's figures has continued to rise at an unprecedented rate, I have found it easier to justify buying some of these higher end pieces, because the Russian figures, although again expensive, have not seen the price explosion of everything coming from China. The price of Russian figures, although quite high, has at least remained steady. I know a lot of these types of figures are a little over the top color-wise, but I actually enjoy that to a degree. For instance it's one of the things I enjoy about K & C. Anyways, artistic license always adds a little spice and fun to history! My favorite "range" of figures are barbarians, and here are a few them.

Here are a few more:

My favorite one:

And the last few:

This guy accessorizes pretty well...love those lavender laces! LOL Seriously now, it's a very powerful pose and another favorite of mine.

This is the best painted figure I have:

oe, you got a great collection there- glad to see my Spartan found such a distinguished collection to jump in with.

Have you ever looked at their dark ages figures- there are some Vikings in that line that are really neat- one is running over a legionaires shield.
