Wanted : info about Valiant Miniatures

[Johan]

Hi,

just this simple question : what are Valiant Miniatures like, is the quality good, are they well sculpted ?
Would like to purchase this figure : http://www.veltd.net/valmin/imgvalmin_06/pages/9801_WyattEarp.htm

it looks super in this photograph, meanest and most convincing gunslinger figure I ever saw, but what is the figure like in reality ?

Is there a mentioned scale ?

This is one of the first figures I ever painted back in 73. By todays standards....it would make a good sinker to go fishing with. If I remember right it is a one piece casting with a lot of clean-up needed.

Just my .02, as a general rule I think Valiant's stuff is a bit dated and seems to require a lot of clean up. I personally would steer clear. YMMV

I have this 54mm Wyatt in my collection. I believe it was sculpted by Bill Horan.Nice to paint but make sure you line up the head along the gunsight

Valiant has been around a long time. I have some of their figures from the 80s. In their day, they were passable. These days, the competition usually shows them up.
