CorPse Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stumbled across this on eBay. They'd be cool to have, but not for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmurie Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Re: Watchman Figs: Maybe not worth the price, but still cool Those old Grenadier figs are terrible sculpts, and they're made of lead, so they're probably suffering from lead rot.

The models end up pitted and textured, and continue to rot away from the inside even after they've been painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
