Star Wars Metal Miniatures

Post by Hardcorhobbs »

Damon (or anyone else), other than West End Games, who produced metal Star Wars miniatures? I was trying to browse them online, but I can't find any reference to them. It's going to bug me until I get home and look...

I have a few SW minis from the old West End line, including a fistful of painted Empire-era stormtroopers. :)

WotC had a line of metal minis back when he 1s ed of Star Wars was released. The line wasn't very broad (about half were Jedi, and only a handful were aliens), but it was metal and nice. It died pretty fast, faster than WotC's decision to pull the plug on metal minis and go plastic. Sometimes you can find them flogged on Ebay, but fairly rare. I think you'd have an easier time converting, or adapting figures from other lines (Reaper has the Chronoscope SF line now FREX). I personally may just use plastic, as I have doubts about my sculpting ability to make a Kel Dor...

Oh, sorry I should have explained better. I have about 4-5 of (sounds like) WotC star wars metal miniatures. I just couldn't remember who produced them. I was trying to check them out at break so I could continue considering a race. Solegends.com has a broken link to the WotC line. Any other reference pages you can think of?

Oh, and I have a jedi Kel Dor plastic mini.
