Minifigs S HQ
About this blog...
This site is one of a family of (currently) three blogs for people interested in old 20mm and "true 25mm" wargames figures. The others are the Hinton Hunter (concentrating on Hinton Hunt) and the Old Metal Detector (other manufacturers).
Minifgs S Range figures can be hard to identify with absolute confidence, partly through a lack of contemporary photographic catalogues, partly because the code numbers scratched on the underside of infantry figures' bases may be obscured by later basing or by filing, and because code numbers are not present on cavalry figures, while one Napoleonic Lancer looks very like another.
If you spot any mistakes in the attribution of any of the figures here, or can supply pictures for any of the figures missing them, I would be very glad to hear from you.

He looks very like unto a Roman archer.
Roy
I have just received an almost identical figure, marked AR13s (= Late Roman Auxilliary Archer) on the base - the difference is merely one of stance, but as these figres can be bent so easily, I assume tht it is the same figure.
Keep up the good work, Nick.
