I have a small number of my 1970's era Bug-eyed Lizardmen miniatures in stock – and there's a net now, too!

The lizardmen are $5 USD, the net is $2 USD, shoot me an email if you'd like to pick up a few of them.

I posted to both SF and Fantasy boards because I couldn't quite decide where they fit… Their inspiration sorta fits into both genres, I think.

Alxbates, those are absolutely marvelous! Trying to think if I can cook up a use for them. Hmmm…

Alxbates I sent you an email today with interest 2 Lizardmen and the one with the net.

But after seeing the other Lizardmen the one with the red clothing I'd like one of him as well(if you have have that one in stock).

I await your email.

For as goofy as that show could be, (a) the Sleestaks were terrifying and (b) the plot twist with time-traveling Enoch was pretty brilliant.

And the Sleestaks were terrifying.

I've had a few questions about them –

The taller warrior stands about 36mm from the bottom of the feet to the top of his head, 38mm to the top of his horn. The leader is about 32mm tall from the bottom of his feet to the bottom of his head, 34mm to the top of his horn.

They're intentionally tall because they were played by basketball players in the original show. They look great (in my opinion) next to 28mm or 30mm figures, and they TOWER over 25mm figs.

Those are 25mm Games Workshop bases that they're mounted on in that third picture.

There are only three poses – the two warriors and the one leader.

In order to get the net to fit, you've got the bend the arms on a warrior a bit – easy to do if you're gentle and familiar with metal models.

They are $5 USD each, and if you want a net, nets are a separate piece that costs $2 USD per net.

Thanks for all the interest!

Here's a pic of the original sculpts:

@Darthfozzywig – I agree – they are super scary! I thought they were terrifying when I was a kid, and I still find them rather eerie with their hissing and slow movements.
