Also from Dolgencorp LLC, these were also issued last year with an orange
card and in the UK under the PMS brand
by 99p Stores and we have seen them
before, but new packaging means new post! Only eight poses, so you get two
duplicates but luckily they have used 'trooper' poses rather than the horn-guy,
maybe another 'Hell's Angel' would have been nice?.
Over here they were only eight, while last
year's offering from the 'States was also 10 and it was the same two poses
duplicated. I also rather like that the horn-player seems to be using a
giant-catapult's bolt as a personal weapon.
Another look at the figures, this year's
batch are slightly lighter-sand in plastic colour, but I haven't noticed any
other differences, and like the mummys are a bog-standard ethylene polymer, a
bit more rigid than Airfix's formula,
and the same as last year's issue.
Playing! We've had this image once today
already (or a near identical one from the same sequence), so I've launched
these guys strait out of hell in a technicolour nightmare with the heat-map
button in Picasa!
See! The snake is 'main man' in a skeleton
army, although I'm not sure if you would apply AFV rules or siege-engine rules?
As it's 'sword & sandal', I guess siege-engine rules would be the more applicable
until play revealed limitations and someone sat down to write-out proper rules for
'giant undead zombie snake skeletons'! That head, used as a bettering-ram, would
make short-work of the main-gates at Troy . . . just saying! Stuff yer' wooden 'orse and get a bone snake!
Many-thanks again Brian!
