Foundry 'new medieval' figures

[Keith T]

Well I got a news letter from foundry with these new medieval infantry ,
http://foundryarchive.co.uk/horde.php?i ... odid=18119
The figures look very good and as I want to do a Scottish AOC army of Robert the Bruce my first reaction was great just the figures I want.......but.
Why 6 figures for £11....very nearly £2 per figure, come on lads get a grip you are probably the most expensive figures around already at 8 for £11.
I have bought from Foundry since november last year an Egyptian new kingdom , romano british and trojan army, all but the last painted and based [ about a 1/3rd of the way thru the trojans].
I think I might join the others who think foundry are priceing themselves out of the market.

Well thats my rant over, I love their figures, the staff are very friendly and helpfull, they ship my orders within 3-5 days,any errors are sorted promptly.

I would recommend you take a look at the 1st Corps medieval figures they are really good sculpts and much much cheaper than Foundry.

Cheers

Hi John
I have just had a look at the hussite infantry and with a little bit of work they could do for early AOC scots [spear not pike], are the weapons seperate ? Oh and at £1 a foot figure fantastic.
cheers

Aye for that much Perry does it better, and I like plastic. Foundry is missing the trend completely here.

At least you're all getting those "cheap" UK prices. We in the US & EU get screwed on their fantasy-land currency conversion.

I just ordered figures from TAG & should get the current exchange rate (about 1:1.55) but because Foundry has a set price in different currencies (based on their already high prices), they are still charging just over 1:2 for the US.

If they were at the top of the market in terms of quality, that would be one thing. But they've got a lot of very high quality competition (much of it from their own former sculptors!) I quit buying Foundry (except on the second hand market) years ago. But I will keep sending my business to Crusader, Artizan, TAG (if the figures look as good in person -- this is my first "test order" with them), etc. as I'm getting the same quality for less. I hope someday they get a good dose of reality and wake up. There are some figures I'd like to pick up if they were realistically priced.
