Westwind 'Berlin or Bust' 28mm WW2. Perhaps not the worst ever made, but on paper it *should* be a good range, but the reality is awkward, distorted poses; odd proportions; weapons that look like they've been cut out of flat planks; completely 'wrong' helmets, and great differences in figure size even within the same pack. |

I think the Andromeda 5 range have to get a mention here-

I think the range was intended to be some sort of necroumnda/judge dredd sort of thing with rival scifi gangs. But the sculpting has to be a text book case of how not to do it. You know how normally with sculpting a figure you build it around a rigid armature attached to some sort of handle? Well I dont think thats how they did these- you can actually see where the putty or whatever it was deformed as it was being held , especially round the legs and feet… |

The original Minifigs 15mm figures on a strip could be pretty bad because they were often unidentifiable blobs and we used to call almost all of Minifigs products "Mini Pigs" which is where I get my Handle from. |
