Title: Hurry up and release the Napoleonic Personalities Range...

I quite like some of the MM range but £1.50 for one figure is outrageous!

One more reason for you lovely chappies at Pendraken HQ to get a shufty on with releasing a personality range including some marshalls and ADC's ;)

That's a damn good mark up !
I could understand  a reasonable extra cost as you won't be selling regiments of said models...but £1.50 does sound somewhat excessive.
Wouldn't have to sell very many to get the design/moulding costs back at that price.
Then.....K'ching as the cash register fills nicely.
Like to see some pics, to see whether the designer has done an extra spiffy job....And would have been likely to charge a bit extra.
Just my two-pees worth.
Cheers - Phil.

K'Ching - wasn't that the financial capital of Sung China? Or was it the Minister of Finance?

We've got the Austrian ones moulded and they'll be coming in the November releases.  The French generals need to be done yet, so I'll pester the designer about those.

Not sure why they have done a figure of Francis II/later 1st as not at many battles of the period.

Archduke Charles or Swartzenberg would have been better examples of Austrian commanders.

£1.50 a figures is getting Games Workshoppy!

Nah to be truly GW, he'd need a 2+ invunerable save, shoot lightning bolts from his eyes and balls of fire would fly out of his arse.

And he'd come with a naff laminated sales docket with a cartoon of his face wearing a collander.

You mean they're made out of soap and go 'dink' whenever you so much as look at them  :d
