Should you ever decide to sculpt normal players, i would love to see some more in the line of this thrall:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod1560122

I think its one of the best bb figs ever made, sadly i dont feel the same for the rest of the thralls, i think its the breast plate etc that does it, ie a team that looks like someone in medival times trying to play FF, and not a fantasy team trying to play football, if you get what i mean.

Personally, my favourite of the Thralls is the one holding his head like he's concussed, but I know what you mean. I rather like the breastplate on that guy. I was looking at my resin master cast of him a couple of days ago, seeing how I sculpted the held ball.

Grumbldook, I'm not sure about cost. I'm actually thinking that I may not release this fig myself and may sell it on to someone who can sell it cheaper than I can. One problem I have with casting small figs like this in resin is that I don't really get goblins cast any cheaper than humans or whatever. And I'm not sure that this guy will really be reasonable at a higher price being a goblin. We shall see...

If I do sell it on I'd probably then go onto sculpting more figs for my own company but avoid the really tiny figs like goblins/halflings or whatever.

The Gobbo is awesome. Very Nice work.

I would second asperon's thoughts on the thralls. They are some of the nicest FF mini's out there and more medeival looking dudes would be most appreciated. It's your call though.

Just out of interest Steve, how long did it take you to sculpt the mini?

I think he'd make a great Dirty Dan for the Chaos All-Stars.

I'd absolutely buy one and would use him as a goblin star player in our local league. I have to agree - that's the best FF goblin I've ever seen. Excellent work!

Wow that looks great. I'd love someone to do a line of 12 or so gobo's that look that good (but all slightly different, as a team). I'd buy thta up in a heart beat. Great looking Gobo!
