This may be a bit early, but if "Star Patrol" is a bit Gerry Anderson-
style, then these:

might provide those intrepid spacers with a ground vehicle and some
gear for their contrl bridge!

Hi Tim,
Nice to hear from you again and thanks for your order, also very much for the kind words about my figures. The Lost Legion aren't being cast up yet because to put it bluntly I'm skint.;o)
 
I've designed loads of new figures for GAFDOZ which I'm very excited about, so when the last few remaining Captain Gamma stuff is released I will list the next 30 upcoming figures.
 
The Star Patrol figures are currently being sculpted by Bob Olley and there's 6 new Protectorate Guard being sculpted by Brad Shier.
 
I'm also planning THREE more GAFDOZ ranges and another range set in a particular decade.
 
This on top of the Geezers range.;oS
 
I just need to win the lottery.;o)    
 
Best regards
Craig

Hi Craig,

Any ETA on the Lost Legion figures and others you've been teasing us
with (like President Borealis Kaus and The Martian Colossus)?

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your quick reply, I think I will order some miniatures to
see for myself, but it looks promising ;)

Hi, new member here (as are all of us!)

I have a question about the height of the miniatures. Last night I have
painted Klug Pluton with Corvus Libra and Kaitos Deneb already primed.
He was a pleasure to paint!
I also have Lady Mira but she is a lot smaller than the others.

My question: miniatures like the protectorate guard and other "manlike"

I'll hold my hand up for that one. Craig sent me the two new figures
to paint and asked me to take some photos of them unpainted for him. I
didn't have my usual camera so could only take pictures with my camera

There will indeed,
Similar to the Protectorate Guard( Who are due to be reinforced soon) there will be Lost Legion troopers with alternative arms. Probably about 6 figures in total.

The Lost Legion: Better known as the Solar Legion were lost over 25 years ago during the campaign against Deimos the Moon Witch and her Hordling Army.After the Hordling Army was defeated Deimos fled and the Legion went after her. Neither were never seen again. The Lost Legion are goodies.
 
Sir Gannymede is a one off. You can't have loads of Lost Knights. Though there will possibly be a GAFDOZ supplement for his kind.

No previews yet Grif,
They haven't been sculpted yet. First off Bob Olley is doing the Lost Legion. The Star Patrol look like a cross between Thunderbirds and Forbidden Planet.

(hopefully) three months, at WSDs "Retrovians" for Treens. Some Orks

painted to look like Dan Dare in spacesuit...at least, that'show I'm
going to paint mine...and if you choose the right head for the robot in
the same package, the robot would look a bit like "Robot Archie"!

Craig: That's great news! We need spacecrew that LOOK like spacemen,

Thanks for that - will have soon painted up all the Geezers! figs I have, so need a new challange. Of course, I also have a whole load of motors to sort, so that will keep me going for now.

 

What about 'Old Melon Head' and the rest to complement WSD? In fact, given what is happening, why not have a chat with Roger and look at leasing / buying his range to complement yours?

Hmmmm. I know WSD were heading in that direction with their planned
League of Space Nations Officer so I didn't want to tread on Roger's
toes.

However, when I sent my designs for the upcoming Star Patrol figures
to the sculptor, the comments I got back did make comparisons to the
Pilot of the Future himself, so they may suit your needs.

I have searched and found wanting the figs available at most shows -
the Irregular ones are not quite right.

Well, I'll start the ball rolling! Craig, can we have some art for the

front cover art, or perhaps a photo of Captain Gamma? I think I can put
up the former, and maybe the latter, but I thought it polite to ask!
So: what can we do? Possibly a list of character classes in GAFDOZ for
