Remembering Marx WOW Figures

If you were a kid in the 1960s who loved history and toy soldiers, you probably had a WOW figure!

Hello,

There is a representation of Louis VI of France in the Osprey Men at Arms 231 – French Medieval Armies 1000-1300. He was called "The Fat" and the artwork shows a big guy.

I am wondering if there is a "heavy set", or "Big Boned," miniature that would be suitable for him. It would make a great command figure for my late 11th/early 12th century army.

The equipment shows a slightly advanced "Norman" Knight with a chainmail hauberk and open faced helm, Kite shield, and cloak.

Do I have to explain why a miniature representing someone called Louis the Fat appeals to me? =)

Thank you for any information
