best figure of 2007

[vergilius]

Hello there

Now 2007 is nearing it's ending, I thought to ask you what figure you liked best this year.
I must say it's hard to compare but l'ollonaise of Pegaso has a fair change of being my favourite. I'm not sure if the shaving Cuirassier of Andrea was released this year but he's getting close too

What's yours ??

Young's Spartan bust. Nuf said.

Personally my choice will fit two, foot figures Jula's Commodus and mounted MAB 75mm Chausseur ... on the fantasy side Latorre's Enigma range is outstanding, check the new Dwarf.

Just to many to list, I have bought so many this year I do not think I will live long enough to be able to paint them all, that new Pegaso Aztec and Chineese 90mm mounted figure are cool but arnt they all

Despite the fact that i used not to like Napoleonics. Maurizio Bruno Pegaso 75mm mounted Hussars and Romeo Modelsa 90 mm Crusader by Gianni La Rocca are my favorites of the year !!

Yer the Romeo crusader is a stunner as well, got this one as well when I get to paint it is another question

To many excellent figures.
My personal choice goes to all of Maurizio Bruno sculpted figures this year for Pegaso and Romeo and specially the L Óllonais.
I also like G. Russo, Spartan he did for Alexander Miniature's.
JMD miniatures did a wonderfull figure with the Gallipoli figure.

Very hard to pick just one most years, even on a 'bad' year, and 2007 wasn't one of those!

Here are a few from what I can remember and can find links to. Historical:
Pegaso 54-231, Chinese general
Pegaso 75-038, Blackfoot warrior
Pegaso 75-040, Francois L'Olonnais
Alpine 35046, WSS Panzer NCO #2
Alpine 35048, WW2 British Tank Crew #1

Fantasy:
Yedharo Models, Leonidas bust

For me the Ronin 90mm from Andrea Jula Pegaso models of course

 

[Roc]

The best figures of all times are all the Poste Militaire figures.
They were great than and they are great now.

[Christos]

I agree with you Rocco!!!!

 

[renarts]

Any one I finished this year...

 

[ilija]

Definitly L Óllonais from Pegaso....

 

[Kisifer]

For me the only and only Maurizio Bruno Pegaso 75mm mounted Hussar...the end.

My vote for Pizarro Ogrum "Iron Heart" and Pegaso Commodo.

I think the work that Maurizio Bruno has done in the second half of this year has got to be some of the best
work in figure sculpting,as well as that of his fellow sculptors who have had their work produced by Pegaso.

 

[vergilius]

Looks like Pegaso get's the most votes this year

Best Figures Painted in 2007

I would have to say that Michael Roberts French Drummer Boy sculpted by Nick Dransfield and United Empire's AWI British Regiment of Foot Infantryman sculpted my Alan Ball are my top choices. Le Cimier's 54mm Marshall Bessierres sculpted by Bruno Leibovitz is my 3rd gem. Can't wait to tackle a couple of Michael Roberts new AWI figures...

Happy Holidays, Terry Martin

 

[tonydawe]

For me, its JMD Miniatures British Tommy and Young Minitaures busts of Hector & Achilles from the movie "Troy". I'm hoping Santa has these last two in his sack.

Cheers

Best figure of 2007 ... well last year it was clear to me, but this year ... it's a tough question !
Of course it all depends on personal preferences for historical periods as well ...
Really, I just haven't got a clue ! I didn't buy any figure that was released for the first time in 2007 !!

So which one gets my vote ?

Well I just discovered this one; it just has got to take my vote for best figure of 2007, although I haven't bought one yet : Centauro Line's new 120mm General Gallifet.... I think I might buy one, although it's rather expensive for a 120mm ...
