Classic Space Marine Captains on made to order

with the whole Hasbro Magic problem, Any old re-issues are gonna be more and more pricey so as now to upset the 'investors' who buy purely to sell for a profit afterwards ¬_¬

. But I don't wanna rant on here.. I got a place for that in this more unrelated field ^_^

reminds me.. some junk I got a while back has some modern space marine guy which.. I would have said was chaos but it's too.. orderly for chaos.. A guy wearing someone's skinned muscles with a jump pack. plastic.. interesting enough model but doesn't make sense as a space marine and its too tame for Chaos.. guy looks human and all, just wearing someones muscles as a suit of armour.. weird

Bit of a shame the four captains are being sold as a single pack, that (much like it did for me with the Eldar) probably is going to push them too high to bother picking up, I'd not have minded the Space Wolf chap. Doubt they will be the £2.50 each I paid for a captain last time round, also I suppose since this chap is still not painted buying even more models is a bit foolhardy...

I think this pretty much sums up my lead addiction. Considering buying a duplicate of a figure you've owned for over 30 years even though you've yet to paint the first one! (or in extreme cases not even taken out of the blister....)

Quite. There is also a little bit of - well maybe I should keep that one as an "archive copy" for posterity - and buy one to paint ... (again in this case as it happens). Incidentally I just bought a Thrud because I can't remember where my other one is (at least I bought a different sculpt just in case I find it). Might even be with my brother, otherwise I'd have thought I'd have stumbled on it at some point.

I'd guess the sculpt was probably influenced/inspired by the Red Vlad the Impaler from the Gary Oldman Dracula movie: https://www.studioauctions.com/Gary_Oldman_Red_Armor_from_Bram_Stoker_s_Dracula-LOT1119.aspx

I kinda hated everything about that film. One of this lets insult the author kinda jobs. Dracula was NOT Vlad the Impaler... While he got the name from Vlad's family, that's it. why people must be stupid and go for 'They are the same person' all the time is beyond me.. I'm not even a huge fan of the book but it's the kinda thing that really annoys some of the people who go into all that research on Stoker.

Winona Ryder was wrong for Mina, I'll die on this hill.
 
Actually much as I might not like the prices, I'm actually mildly surprised they were not more crazy. For the £31 I think I'll probably get the five "old armours" the four captains for £52, touch too rich because I only really want two and like three, so unless anyone want to go halves and wants the Ultramarine and Dark Angel I'll give those a miss.
