I think it’s safe to mention Christmas now – so as usual we would like to warn everyone to order early to avoid disappointment – especially with some of the unusual strips and low Limited Editions we are launching for the festive season.
In particular the new Mini Front Row in Lions Strip limited to only 100 pieces. As you can imagine the hand painted badges on these figures are extremely complicated, but we feel that Adam, Matthew and Gethin’s achievement being the first all Welsh Lions Test Front Row since 1955, deserves every brushstroke!
Just in time for the Autumn Internationals I have finished two new Mini’s in Blues, Wales and Lions ace Jamie Roberts and
complete with his headgear Ospreys, Wales and Lions second row Alun-Wyn Jones. With th exciting first leg of the European Cup over, check out our new look regional strips . All the Welsh regions did well and I can’t wait for the next batch of fixtures in December. Some unusual new additions to our Limited Editions range of Soccer figures are the 16″ “Cantona Noir” being only 7 pieces painted in the infamous Manchester United black strip. Also Michael Owen in Manchester’s current strip limited to only 50 pieces is now available to order through the shop. Seven of the eleven unique 14″ Ryan Giggs strips have been spoken for and a special warning must go out for the Gareth Edwards Barbarian Try which has only 4 editions left before the 300 limit is reached and the mould is destroyed!
I have almost finished Ospreys, Lions and Grand Slam Irish star Tommy Bowe and I will just have time to add two long overdue editions to our collection before Christmas – namely a new 9″ Ryan Giggs (circa 2009) and for our veteran collectors, a 6″ Llanelli and Wales No8 Derek Quinnell. I have also started Martyn Williams’ much awaited Testimonial piece which will not be ready until the New Year. Seven of these complicated Action figures, showing Martyn breaching the French line before scoring to seal the Grand Slam in 2008, will be painted in unique strips for Martyn and Limited Editions in Wales strip will be available to collectors.
Finally the Mervyn Davies Bust which has been made for a special series of Dinners to honour Wales’ Grand Slam Captain of 1976 is now available to order.
Cheers for now and have a Groggy Christmas!
Richard
