"The importance of West End Games to Star Wars cannot be overstated. Their edition of the Roleplaying Game (1987 – 1998) expanded the Star Wars universe in ways fans had only dreamed of. Other publishers, the prequel production, and The Clone Wars production used the names of West End Games for characters, species, technology, and weaponry. While the influence of West End Games continues today in Star Wars Rebels, they didn't just publish RPGs and Sourcebooks. They also produced metal-lead-free 25-millimeter miniatures…"

Cherrypicker, if they really made more than one ewok figure, we can do business.
Otherwise, shows how people look on things differently. I've got some of the figures myself, but I could never get enough variety of the military types to put together more than a squad. I'm told the Star Wars people wanted a miniature of every oddball in the Cantina, but never authorized crew-served weapons. And Star Wars Miniatures battles has, for my taste, the dullest scenarios ever seen outside a tournament. They'd have been much better off stealing from Featherstone's Skirmish Wargames, because they didn't make the sort of products which would let them steal Blasthof Bridge. |

One of the best things about this range are the Imperial Troopers that technically should outnumber the Stormtrooper forces by many fold. |
