Cyclopes. RedBox- Alliance

 What is the collective noun for them? Cyclopes? 

Never mind. 12 in the box in 4 poses. I think they missed a trick with this lot. They could have added a sprue of 2 eyed heads so they could be converted to giants.

These are big, not as big as some shown in films, and the one in the Film, The seventh Voyage of Sinbad was a mutant version anyway, but still big

    Not sure why you would need 12 but you have done them proud

    I do like the scale of these - far too many manufacturers and film makers just make everything ridiculously big.

    They could be one-eye giants.
    BTW, do you know if there is a place where to see the sprues of all Dark Alliance miniatures?
    Cheers,

    That gives a good size comparison standing next to a Perry WotR figure. Great flesh tones Paul.

    (Very) late to this discussion, but a bit of trivia. Polyphemos of The Odyssey fame was a recluse in his community. His name / nickname is made from two different Greek words (You know...every word comes from Greek) "Poly" which is many or much and "phemei" which transliterates as to speak, or talking. It was to make fun of him just as we might call someone who always has a sour look on their face as "Happy" or "Smiley", or a slow runner as "Flash."

    At least that's the explanation our Ancient Greek instructor gave us in high school. We could take Latin (most did) or Greek (for the adventurist or foolish among us).

    Well Paul, 'Cyclopes', it is on both counts,be it one or even more.
    BB English language proff reader. Poor one eyed blind Polyphemos the Cyclopes,drowned himself in the sea for he certainly had no outlook upon life anymore. Greetings BB
