Mirliton Releases Future Warriors

Mirliton DOES have the Grenadier US moulds/masters, although whether they got them all has never been established. As was said, the folding of Grenadier was a troubled time, and more rumour than information came out of Grenadier USA.

eM-4 has everything shown on the Mirliton site: On the other hand, eM-4 has a dozen or so figures that were never released in the USA. (Doug should still have a list) They were the '5th' figures that didn't readily fit with any other odd figures to make a pair.

Interestingly (or not), the figures were released in (generally) 5-packs in the UK, but reworked as pairs in the USA. Now, the US moulds are being used to re-create the 5-packs.

There were figures released in the USA that were never in the UK, but they were reworks of Mark's figures, by another sculptor. (Who shall remain unnamed)

Mirliton has released the first wave of the Future Warriors range.

This famous line of Near Future or Post-Apocalyptic figures was released in the early nineties by Grenadier Models, and sculpted by Mark Copplestone.

Released in packs of five figures of identical composition, as the original Grenadier releases - i.e. Scavengers, Savages, Biker gang, Robo Hunters, military - and several single character figures.

A few years back, Mirliton bought all the moulds and production rights of Grenadier Models, and has already put in production the 28mm Fantasy Warriors and 15mm Warlords lines, after being unavailable for a decade; and will release the Nightmares (a.k.a. Call of Chtulhu) line later this year.
