Can anyone ID this figure?

[balder]

Hello, I came across this figure on EBay
The seller is from China which makes me think its a recast. Can anyone tell me who makes or made this figure? I’d like to buy a legitimate copy.
Any info appreciated, Gerald

Hi Gerald,
It's indeed an Altores miniature (F75-014), an old one though, depicting King Harold of Norway. Here's an undated review on "Figure Mentors", and here some photos of a painted one from putty & paint. It seems El Greco has it in stock still.
Cheers
Karl

PS: F**k recasters!

The Harald kit is the twelfth one down.
I clicked on it and checked the cart, but the figure listed on the checkout was the one directly above Harald.
It's probably out of stock, but it may be worth an e-mail to check.

Cheers,
Andrew

P.S. While typing my post, I obviously missed your #7.
I had checked El Greco yesterday, but never saw Harald.
Either it's a new entry by EG, or I'm due a visit to Specsavers.

Might need to email them to order perhaps.

Altores Studio have informed us that they are ceasing production of this kit so we have not re-ordered it. We will check with Alexandr if he has any more stock. However please do not purchase from the Chinese site as it is definitely a recast. We will alert Altores about this thread. Thanks.
