I've been waiting for this one for a long time. I was very happy to finally see it for sale again!
I think the freehand work on his cloak is amazing!


Emperor Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy AeroArt/St.Petersburg Collection 6211

 

[Htet]

My first Russian figure just receive it.

 

[zblang]

Great figure!!!

Don Alfonso of Aragon by Grudsky Studios. The figure is most likely Alfonso V of Aragon, uncle of Ferdinand of Aragon who married Isabella.

Jean d’Albret, King of Navarre, 1506, by AeroArt. I’m not sure why AeroArt used his French name as he is Juan III of Navarra, a rival of Ferdinand’s.

 

[zblang]

I️ have that one as well. A great figure indeed.

 

[jazzeum]

Thanks, I like it very much. When I was at the Hackensack Show, picking this up, I asked Thor if he had ever considered doing Queen Isabella. He said they might do Isabella and Ferdinand as a pair, similar to your Emperor Maximilian and Mary of Burgundy, which looks outstanding.

 

[zblang]

That would be a must buy for me!

The Sultan Saladin, by AeroArt, 5144.2.

Some Russian Additions
All Aeroart other than Joan of Arc...there are no markings on her so not sure who made it. Not the best figure, but I am sucker for Joan figures!

Zach,

I don't know if I've said this before, but your photos are much better than Aeroart's images. I love the dragon on the back of the kneeling Japanese figure! I like your new Joan too. I saw her on ebay and almost bid too, but recently splurged on some other nice pieces. Happy Thanksgiving!

Jean d’Albret, King of Navarre, 1506, by AeroArt. I’m not sure why AeroArt used his French name as he is Juan III of Navarra, a rival of Ferdinand’s.

Because he is French, Albret is far to the north of Navarra, he married The Queen of Navarra in 1484 an added King of Navarra to his titles :
seigneur d'Albret, duc de Guyenne, comte de Graves, comte de Périgord de 1481 à 1516, vicomte de Limoges à partir de 1481 et vicomte de Tartas

Beautiful figure joe!

seigneur d'Albret, duc de Guyenne, comte de Graves, comte de Périgord de 1481 à 1516, vicomte de Limoges à partir de 1481 et vicomte de Tartas

I’m aware of all that but as he was King of Navarra, he should be rightly called Juan III of Navarra.
