Review 1:16 / 120mm Legends & Lore figures

[FlaBtl (Sfl) 606]

Also a nice parcel from the usa showed up on the doorstep the last days (https://www.customdioramics.com/shop/):

Including some nice rerelease figures:

John McClain Inspector NYPD (LL-003)

Field Marshal von Runstedt (LL-060)

Harry Callahan Inspector San Francisco P.D. (LL-014)

The Raven (LL-026)

Reinhard Heydrich (LL-009)

General Heinz Guderian creator of the Blitzkrieg (LL-032)

General von Kleist (LL-070)

Now some final words to the big loot:
- very good cast quality (only some airholes)
- nice details of the figures
- fast shipping
- but some of the movie figures are much bigger than 1:16 (Especially the raven. Please remind the original masters are older than 20 years.)

Im very glad that the figures are available again from Jose Rodriguez!
It will be a pleasure to buy more of his rereleases the next time.

Evidently very old and the moulds past their prime, but workable..and not expensive

They do take me back some. Good to see their return.

The molds are completely new and the masters are reworked in some points.

Casting blocks look quite large but in a good position to access to deal with

First off, they are brand new molds, not old molds. Second, they may be "old" masters but they are a lot better than you give them credit for and are selling very well. Simple packaging, simple marketing, and not overpriced like most of the other stuff available in 120mm.

Thanks for the criticism, it only makes me want to do better.

I own the original masters of Legends & Lore Resin Figures as well as Custom Dioramics and even some of the original Kirin Scale Figures which I will be releasing in the future. The L&L & CD were purchased from Squadron/MMD and Kirin one's from the original sculptors or those who owned the right to them or were part owners of the company like Ben Jakopsen who was a dear friend of mine. All these products are made from the original old masters some of which have been updated and cleaned up.

Hi everyone

PF is a great place where constructive comments are welcome ...this has got a little chaotic

Rather than use a review or figure release announcement use the PM facility

Jose has cast all from masters or reworked as he has said , he is clearly passionate about the hobby as well

.....and it's great that L & L are sharing releases many previously OOP ..long may it continue

Thanks to Patrick fir sharing the pieces here as well

I will moderate this thread as I see right ......members are free to PM me if they wish

Thank you for your support and thanks to José for the release details

Stay safe

Happy benchtime
