Nice looking minis, but the Earps are my favs with the dusters. |

I've always liked the look of their Wild West figures. It is just too bad they are 30 plus millimeter and do not fit with the majority of my Foundry 28 millimeter figures. The poses are dynamic and well sculpted and have tons of character. |

They can't be Earps! They're dressed in black! Only Bad Guys wear black. |

the earps were not good guys all the time |

Those are beautiful Western figures, as are all of Black Scorpion's Tombstone range, but too many things wrong to actually be the Earps. None of them carried two revolvers. None of them actually wore holsters at the OK Corral, and Doc should be carrying a stagecoach gun, not a full length shotgun. |

It is just too bad they are 30 plus millimeter and do not fit with the majority of my Foundry 28 millimeter figures. Can you tell the size difference on the tabletop? In an Old West gunfight, figures are not too close in proximity… |

I liked the original figures years ago that were made out of metal. Not a fan of these since they are made out of resin. |

Just coming to say that doc's "cross-draw" holster was not on the hip. It was more in the front. |
| kallman | 28 May 2016 7:46 p.m. PST |
Yes Bill I can tell the difference and it is considerable. Still beautiful figures just a different size than what I have in my collection. |
| Inkpaduta | 29 May 2016 10:49 a.m. PST |
I agree with Joe, I don't like resin. |
| Legends In Time Skip | 29 May 2016 10:53 a.m. PST |
They are magnificent sculpts, I only wish they were still cast in metel! |
| john lacour | 29 May 2016 1:41 p.m. PST |
Doc carried his pistol in a "cross-draw" holster. He certainly wore a holster at the street fight in Tombstone. |

Can you tell the size difference on the tabletop? In an Old West gunfight, figures are not too close in proximity… I've carped about this continuously. I also have 25mm early Foundry, large 25/small28mm Dixons, 28mm (Artizan, Knuckleduster, New Foundry, Crusader, others) and these and other "heroic" 28mm, 32mm, and some no consistent scale Reapers, it is very noticeable to me. link I think that most actual old west old west gunfights were at closer rather than longer ranges, in particular OK Corral. But Coffeyville, Northfield, and many others were as well link link |

John,
Yes, Doc did indeed. The Earps however all had their single revolvers in pockets in their blanket coats. |
| john lacour | 29 May 2016 8:16 p.m. PST |
I've studied the strret fight in Tombstone for almost 40 years. One of the better books on the whole situation in Tombstone is "Inventing Wyatt Earp" by allen berra. |

Which one is Doctor McCoy?  |
| Darkoath | 29 May 2016 11:10 p.m. PST |
Ditto from me also on them not being cast in metal… stopped buying from Black Scorpion when they decided to switch to resin. Shame too because I like these sculpts… |
| nnascati | 30 May 2016 12:26 p.m. PST |
I honestly really like the resin models. Its the inaccuracies that get me. |
| Gangrel | 31 May 2016 12:48 p.m. PST |
Best pirate range in the market; I love those figures. And while I miss the hft of metal, Black Scorpion's resin castings are crisper and cleaner than almost anything else, and great value. I picked the new releases up at Salute and they live up to the high standards previously set. |
| battleeditor | 01 Jun 2016 8:20 a.m. PST |
Fabulous sculpts. Love 'em. |
| john lacour | 01 Jun 2016 8:29 a.m. PST |
So its too much to ask these designers to do research? |

None of them actually wore holsters at the OK Corral, and Doc should be carrying a stagecoach gun, not a full length shotgun. I think most Wild West gamers are more interested in the mythical or cinematic Old West than trying to accurately portray history. Personally, I've got a whole bunch of Wild West miniatures from West Wind's old Cowboy Wars line. They are all modeled on characters from various TV and Movie westerns Not saying you're wrong or that you aren't justified in not buying them if it bothers you. I just don't think most of the potential customers for these figures would care. |
| Fisherking | 01 Jun 2016 3:08 p.m. PST |
Absolutely agree with mdauben. Beautiful figures. Prefer metal but will still buy resin. |
| nnascati | 02 Jun 2016 5:03 p.m. PST |
mdauben, I certainly can't argue with what you say. But, would it be too much to ask for at least one manufacturer to make figures based on history rather than Hollywood or Osprey books? |
