That barbarian looks like hes needing to find a bog. :P What kind of pose is that? Half his leg stretched outward off the base.. GZ: "unleash the trapped wind on your mighty foes!" :P

The quality of the sculpt is not terrible, but his pose and face is. Is he biting his lip? I like to imagine he stutters.

He looks like one of these square-jawed evil minion retards from a Disney movie, that's what it is.
Congratulations, Gamezone. Well done. Great view on my favorite boardgame from BEFORE the Hulk's head stayed normal while his body grew into exorbitant proportions.
We complain about the original figures not fitting on the board alongside each other and Gamezone comes along to save us by...
wait, by splashing one figure over 3 squares? In that style? "Cartoonish" does not mean the same as "from a cartoon", for fraggle's sake!

I swear these guys actively attempt to piss off me in person now. They've been following my posts all along and now they made a decision.

Oh Jesus. I didn't even have something specific in mind, but there you go.
I will from now on - if ever - refer to that Gamezone Barbarian as Gaston.

How about this miniature. http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2600s/2619_G.jpg

Looks like a plaice on a murder spree for his lost brethren. :P

Candidate 2 :roll:
Metal Magic made some minis in their early days that looked like sculpted by a kindergarten class.
But they were so original and innovative that people buyed them anyways.
Sometimes funny - like the monster pack which included an exhibitionist orc and a figure of German folk singer Heino, sometimes really useful like the first scenario packs in the industrie - I remember a tavern (which I own), a harem and a wizard's laboratory, and the first "real" dragon (about 20cm in curled position).
But then again, the sculpting was really awful. Do a google image search for "Metal Magic", but be prepared for eye cancer!
