Subject: [cavewars] Re: Using Pendraken Trolls As 15mm Cavemen?
Just got my Pendraken Trolls (my "Morlocks") today at the hotel. I don't have a camera with me, so I'll try to give a written breakdown of the 6 variants I got . . .
But, first of all, please note that the product codes in the pictures on the website need some correction. The one with the club (right) is labeled as FT3, but it is really part of the FT1 pack:
http://www.pendrake n.co.uk/sub% 20page/minotaurs .htm
FT1 Troll with Club - Mixed poses (5) £1.35
There are actually 3 different poses in the pack.
* Long hair variant advancing with club on left hand (the so-called FT3 image on the website), wearing "loincloth"
* Bald variant advancing with club on left hand, wearing "loincloth"
* Bald variant standing with club on right hand, wearing "loincloth"
FT2 Troll with boulder - Mixed poses (5) £1.35
There are 2 different poses in the pack.
* Long hair variant advancing with boulder overhead (the image labeled as FT2 on the website), wearing "loincloth"
* Long hair variant standing with boulder overhead, wearing "loincloth"
FT3 Troll Leader (1) £0.24
There's only one pose in the pack.
* Bald figure, standing holding a cleaver overhead with right hand. His "loincloth" is sculpted as if it was made of mail instead of fabric. He also wears a fur vest of sorts, with some metal circles sown onto the surface
All in all, there are 6 poses. The figures are a bit taller than the Rebel Minis figures I had with me in the room, but that may be due to the thickness of their integral bases. They are very ape-like in physique, with short legs, long arms, broad backs and shoulders, forward-placed heads.
First chance I get, I will take pictures and post on my Flickr account for all to see.
I really like the figures. I wanted something that could look like an ape-human hybrid, or a de-evolved human, and I think I found the perfect figures. My only wish is that they had more poses available.
Hope this helps.
Dan
