A while back I picked up a few packs of these hard plastic miniatures. I'd read about them in my youth in the Heroics & Ros advertisements and always fancied them but never threw caution to the wind. They were apparently only available from December 1981 - October 1982 before, depending on who you listen to, they stopped production due to financial considerations / were bought off by metal wargame miniature manafacturers... shades of a conspiracy methinks...

They were bagged up in polythene with a stapled card header...
Loose examples of AG2 Scythian Archers and Thracian Peltasts...
AG3 Greek Cavalry
Recent additions to the 'lead horde'... they've been patiently sitting on a pile to be photographed for abut two years.
AR1 Roman Legionaries
AR2 Roman Auxiliary Javelin-men
The figures are a little poor in detail and quality, closer to soft plastic really, but they must have filled a niche as the production costs were rather high... kind of adds to the mystery of stopping production. Heroics & Ros are still going strong although they have changed hands a decade or so ago. They specialise in 1/300 wargaming miniatures and it's great to see them at Salute in London on my annual exodus. Long may they prosper. They did do a Sci Fi infantry range of which I picked a pack up a few years back (although they're no longer on the website), I must find it and take some pics.
