Anyway let's get to the topic of this blog post which is COBI's Small Army Mini-Figures, two of which were given to me by a good friend of mine who picked these up after a recent trip to the Detroit area(Which is not to far from us) at a hobby shop of sorts that specializes in collectible miniatures(most of which are used in board games like Dungeon and Dragons,ect).
He knew i love and collect these little mini-figures and he himself got a big thrill out the Military themes(which Cobi is known for) so he had to grab me a couple of these "Blind Bags" for us to check out.
The two i ended up with was a Sea(Naval) Captain(Admiral maybe?)and a Army Commander(?)who i keep want to refer to as "G.I. Rock" but maybe "General Rock" might be better perhaps?
As far as mini-figures go these are pretty good and are comparable to ones from Oxford(the folks behind the Kre-O stuff)but i did notice a few but not major plastic faults on them but i have seen far worse than what i found on these before.
I hoping these will turn up locally at our Hobby Lobby store(They carry a small selection of Cobi products)and am thinking of trying to work a custom mini-figure of Captain Nemo sometime from parts of Sea Captain.
That is a mighty beard that the captain is rocking there...lol
ReplyDeleteIt is a serious looking one isn't it. : )
ReplyDeleteWeird! These are seriously on the razor's edge of copyright infringement, eh? And that dude's beard is freaking me out! Is that supposed to be his nose?
ReplyDeletelol Reis a lot of these little guys are these days and yeah they combined his beard and nose together.
