Kings Figurines

[Martin Antonenko]

Really good stuff from Switzerland...:

Title: "Groupe RE"
Scale: 54 mm
Resin
Sculptor: Benoit Cauchie (Figuren und Keyboard), Albert Smaniotto (Battery)

And who is to be seen? I think "Deep Purple"...!

The same company (former "King of War Figurines") offers another famous band - "Groupe DO" - and I think, there is "Queen" with frontman Freddy Mercury to be seen...:

They look really good Martin.
Only question, There are two bass guitarists in the band? Very un-usual.
But for all that it is a great piece.
Cheers,
Keith

Sry, not my figures, not my company. Just founded them at the web - but I am well excited about the idea and the characters!

Cheers

@Keith: out of curiosity I looked at the photos on their website and it's one guitar & one bass. If it is indeed Deep Purple it's sculpted correctly as Steve Morse's Music Man Signature guitar's headstock has four strings on one side and two on the other.

All the best,
Elia

Elia's right... Gold star and a Happy Face.
After finishing my Lemmy sculpt and now seeing these whole bands done... That's it! I'm doing Slayer next!

Nice boots though.

Queen is really looking good.
But Deep Purple?????????
Maybe the band as it is at the moment, but no way the Deep Purple as I remember them, when playing Child in Time, My women from Tokio, Smoke on the water.

Good idea and good sculpt!
I want see Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd also.

 

[Ulrich]

Queen ok, but not Deep Purple. Or a band called "Deep Purple" without members of the original band.

 

[Mirofsoft]

Like the sculpting
Best

Good sculpts ! But modern Deep Purple is not Classic Deep Purple for me.
Wait to see Metallica, KISS and Thin Lizzy!

 

[Hammond_Lord]

Well, this is definitely an interesting turn of events! Figures are wonderfully sculpted, I can't wait to see some more sets.
As a great fan of late Jon Lord and Deep purple, I would certainly like to get the figures of the classic DP Mk II, together with Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, ELP, and numerous excellent musicians and artists from last century. Just imagine what kind of a beautiful vignettes could be made with such figure sets, few led diodes and a little imagination.

Only trouble would be fitting the dry ice machine in

I really like them, especialy Deep Purple; may not be the classic line up but that's what they looked like when I saw them at the Ipswich Regent in 2002.

John lord made his final appearance and played a few numbers and Don Airey played the rest of the gig.

Thanks Elia,
Good research. I have never seen this before.

Okay, this is an old post but.....this is definitely Deep Purple in their present appearance with Gillian, Paice and Glover from the old days and Airey and Morse as "newcomers". Saw them 2 years ago at Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel.
Love this figures and they are on my wishlist to make a (huge) Graspop Mainstage Diorama !!
