What's the guy sitting down doing? |

Nice sculpts and paint jobs. |

Cavemen wear loin cloths? |

Cavemen wear loin cloths? Perhaps they just have very, very strange genitalia? |

That's a very odd bowman! I know the bow is a very ancient weapon, but I don't know whether the technology was known in the Paleolithic. |

link Here is an archaelogical history of the bow, including mention of use during the Paleolithic. I do not vouch for the accuracy of the site, but it was one among many that mention its use. |

That's one hell of an arrow the chap on the top right is about to fire. For once I have to disagree with the Security Minister; these sculpts are  . You might not want to hear it, but it's the truth. The faces are okay, but these figures are a mess as far as basic anatomy is concerned. |

Nice idea poorly realised. |

They remind me of miniatures back in the 70s. |

I think the archer has just invented the bow :/ The rest are ok really, the kneeling guy is going to be huge if he stood up though. |

They would work well Sagoths from the ERB Pellucidar stories. |

Ah, sculpted by cavemen. With two left thumbs. |

The bow shooting top and the sitting bottom are what really makes the group look worse than it is. They aren't convincing historical representations to me but for a fantasy race of ape men wearing loin cloths, they're fine. |

Nice to see someone try to make cavemen. The biggest problem I have with them is the bow. I like how harry they are. Their chins and foreheads look too pronounced and not sloping as I have seen them pre-homosapien humans. Otherwise its a good try. |
| Cincinnatus | 11 Feb 2012 8:19 p.m. PST |
I love the idea of the separate tops and bottoms and agree the hairiness of them is nice. They aren't terrible figures in my opinion. I would prefer no loin cloth and no sophisticated tools like a bow or axe. Just one man's opinion though. I hope they sell a lot of them. Maybe the next set will be more to my taste. |

Am I right in saying that – if they are historically accurate (ie 'tackle out' as we say this side of the pond) – there are usually a lot of complaints from US gamers? Perhaps the sculptors were just playing careful and hoping for a bigger market. John T |

Thanks John,, BTW. that sculpt was 4 years ago:-) |
