probably the most colorful and ornate series I have ever collected...

has the figure circled in red been produced yet?

I might have missed it...but can't find it on any websites...

No Michael, You haven't missed it. This figure has not yet been released.

Great photos by the way. Clear and precise, shows the figures off beautifully.

One of my favorite lines by any company. Just received the 2 newest earlier this week and eagerly awaiting the last warrior and conquistadors.

Would also like to see Montezuma and some of the higher class Aztec such as priests.

Ken...

thanks...I wasn't sure I missed it or not and got tired of researching it...appreciate the confirmation...

The Conquistadores are coming as well as many more Aztecs!

More Aztecs too. - I like the sound of that.

I hope John gets around to do some Tlaxcallan allies. The Spaniards could not have won without them.

Michael, your photos show off the figures very nicely.

Brad...
thank you...I used the "pajama setting"...hehehe...just kidding you...^&grin...
they are colorful...and dripping with ornaments...good action poses too...
hard to take a bad photo of them...

I thought you would have shown them in one of those great settings that you are renown for. I know you have probably built the setting and are waiting to surprise us. I've got two groups waiting for a fight too. Regards Greg.

Greg...I have built a base...about 3' x 3'...already framed out in wood...stained and polyurethaned...
the sculpted foam landscape is in it already too...

I cut out an ocean in the front of it...but got sidetracked making buildings for Ebay and the Texas Show...

I bought a lot of cheap foliage for aquariums (good scale)...even primed and painted them for realism...they look nice...

I also started amassing large palm trees...finished about 20 of them...going with the Pegasus Style B...and have painted them also...
I need to get another 20 or so more...

there is still a lot of work to do on it...but I will start again on it soon...

I thought I had plenty of time...
but I think in the next 2 months or so...
we might see Conquistadors coming out...

I spoke to John a few times...
asking for maybe a landing barge/small boat of Spaniards rowing and/or coming ashore...

also asking if he might fabricate some Aztec architectural structures...
which is far beyond my talent...
I wouldn't even attempt it...
all those crazy designs with snakes, designs and faces...etc....
not necessarily giant sacrificial pyramids/altars with stairways forever...
but maybe a couple 2 or 3 small structures similar in size to his awesome Peninsular War ruined house and gateway...(PB-01 and PB-03)...
something for a good backdrop for pictures...

he didn't say yes...but he didn't say no either...^&grin
he said he would add it to "his list"...
so maybe he will...
I dunno...

I used to ask for so many things in the past...
he once told me his "Mike Miller list"...
was longer than his personal list of things to do...^&grin
but maybe he will...I hope...
he is very accommodating to his collectors...
a man of the people...^&grin

Michael,

None at all taken.

That's one fine collection Mike! When you put them all together like that they just explode with color and energy! I'd love to see you build an Aztec temple for them. That would be fantastic! (or maybe you already have?) Thanks for the sharp image.

I hope John will build some structures...
I think there is a pretty good following of this series....

I just thought I would add to your thread Mike seeing that you have some influence with John. I would like to see some normal looking warriors to mix in with the costumed one's and give a sense of diversity. The Spanish would have thought they weren't of this world with jaguars and eagles running around until they saw a proper face. I like the suggestions about the Conquistadors and a Montezuma figure as well. Let's hope. Regards Greg.

I know directly from John that this series is selling very well and I'm sure many of your requests will be forthcoming. All I can say is there are many more
figures already sculpted and personally I am thrilled that JJD is selling out on most releases.

Feeling good to have the full set of releases so far, especially after seeing some of the incredible upcoming Aztecs and the Conquistadores. This is going to be a good sized collection.

Here’s the most recent.
