One of these companies need to make a good George Washington Figure!
 
It's always baffled me that Aeroart, and American owned company hasn't produced more american "heroes". Geo. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, MLK, etc.
Can you imagine how amazing an Aeroart "signing of the declaration of Independence" would be?!?!?!? Or a vignette of Lewis and Clark with Pocahontas.
 
Actually, im baffled by a lot of Toy Soldier companies with some of the things they do.. FL made a decent one, the face and expression on the face looks terrible..
 
Those are vityaz figures. A single 54mm foot figure can be $350-$750, so you are talking a lot of dough for a 110mm mounted figure or a vignette. They have 120 Joan of arc for $14,000

How do you tell the price. I see a Lincoln one but can't tell if there's a price.

They don't have prices listed but I'm going by average prices for mounted figures like the Samurai they sell. They're usually $2,00 and up for a 54mm figure and like Zach said the bigger the figure the prices really skyrocket!

54mm figures on foot w/out flags are $500.00 each- just brutal prices. Thor kept Vityaz prices reasonable, but when their alliance ended Vityaz prices went through the roof. I wish I was collecting back during the Aeroart/Arsenyev years.

I'm trying to remember but didn't WB make a decent WA? Or maybe it was one of those figures that didn't look as good in hand as it did in the images the preceded it.

Most WB LTD figures are average looking, but they are improving..

I didn't think the FL version was bad. I'm sure it's not of interest to you but the Trophy version had a very good likeness.
 
John Jenkins made a couple of GW figures for the French-Indian War. One mounted (red uniform) and another on foot (blue VA uniform). There was a somewhat interesting debate on what type of uniform Washington would have worn at Monongahela since his status at the time was somewhat unique as a volunteer aide to Braddock. He is depicted in portraits both in red and blue coats. I don't think we ever resolved it.
 
That one on eBay is mine. He’s not great and missing a walking stick or something. Priced accordingly.
 
Also, I’ve never seen the uniform like that. I could be wrong but I’m not even sure it’s supposed to be Washington???
