I've seen it listed as "RPR50080 Zenith Superhero Chronoscope by Reaper Miniatures" in a number of places, but that mini on Reaper's site is this one:
And I've searched Reaper and can't find any figure like the former. Anyone help? |

Makes me wonder…
Reaper NORMALLY does not have that kinda base.
But the "height indicator" is a Reaper kinda thing… At first I thought it was a Crossover Miniatures fig. crossoverminiatures.com/shop
Then a SuperFigs one… link

But the "height indicator" is a Reaper kinda thing… Very much so – I'd email Reaper and ask them. |

Not Black Hat, Pulp City, Reaper, or SuperFigs. Not Living Legends or Silver Age Sentinels as far as I can tell. Not Golden Heroes. Probably not Champions, but it's remotely possible – sculpting and size looks too modern, though. Officially stumped at this point. |

That looks like a converted Captain Griffon
link I don't know where the head came from though. Edit: I started a thread on Reaper's Chronoscope forum. |

Let's try a different approach, where are you seeing these "RPR50080 Zenith Superhero Chronoscope by Reaper Miniatures" listings you mentioned? EDIT: Ah, I see, Noble Knight Games. Don't think that's a Griffon conversion. Aside from the integral base (which Griffon doesn't have), removing his cape would be a nightmare, and the ab muscles and belts don't come close to matching either. |

I really don't think that's Captain Griffin. Cape, boots, gloves, shoulderpads, head, they're all different. Only the pose and proportions are the same. I think his speedos are different too, but it's hard to tell, plus, I realised I was staring at his groin and that ain't polite. |

It is an older version of Reaper's Zenith. There is one for sale now on Amazon: link |

I don't think it was ever released, and any listings for Zenith are just a mix-up of old pic to current mini and code. Same sculptor as Capt. Griffon clearly, and I think it would bear more than a passing resemblance and that I have to disagree with other posters, but I think it is based of the same base figure. |

Could it be one of the Silver Sentinels line that Reaper used to make? Those had integral bases.
I've yet to find any pictures showing the entire lineup of those… unless only a handful where ever sculpted. |

There weren't very many of them, but it is a possibility. AFAIK the Noble Knight listing for them is everything that was made: link It's likely that Captain Griffon was sculpted off the same dummy, and given Reaper's fondness for reusing chaarcter name over multiple sculpts, it may very well be a proto-Zenith, perhaps unreleased. |

According to ReaperBryan it was a sculpt that Reaper did not buy.

Ah, similar to those Koralon sculpts I was going nuts trying to track down which turned out to have been rejected.

Interesting. Ought to let Reaper know Noble Knight has the photo up as well as Amazon. |

Thanks for your efforts, guys. Shame we were chasing a phantom! |
| Brother Jim | 02 Dec 2012 12:47 a.m. PST |
I've let Noble Knight Games know they had the wrong picture for Zenith. |
