Harwood Hobbies Releases Sinbad Miniatures

October 17, 2011 by beerogre

For all you lovers of the Golden Voyage of Sinbad... Harwood Hobbies has just released some models that could easily be mistaken for the cast of that epic film.

For those of you not familiar with this 1973 fantasy extravaganza, I've posted the first 10 minutes of the film that I found on YouTube.

If you've never seen this film. It's one of the jewels in the crown of the great Ray Harryhausen (who just turned 91... thank to @killiandoyle for the quick save) ... and if you don't know who he is... then you seriously need to check him out!

Oh wow, this is one of my favorite movies ! So much in there…
I used to watch that as a kid, it gave me plenty of good dreams, and RPG ideas of course.
Prince Kurah is the archetypal black wizard !

Also, “the 7th voyage of Sindbad”, “Sindbad and the eye of the tiger”… the original “Clash of theTitans”… “Jason and the argonauts”… good times !

Saw this at the pics when it came out. Great fun!
Hausmann’s SFX’s might look creaky to a modern audience but those films were just the bees knees.
Great to see the tribute

The movies that also got my imagination going, and lead to all sorts of crazy adventures in the garden fighting imaginary monsters as kids. Long live Ray Harryhausen!

“the late, great Ray Harryhausen” Euh, I don´t want to sound picky, and since English is not my firt language, maybe “late” stands for something else here, but if you mean Ray Harryhausen is dead… He’s not, he’s turned 91 recently, but he´s very much alive.
On topic: I absolutely adore Ray’s films, not so sure about the minis, they’re OK I guess.

Good to see some Arabian Nights figs but…what’s up with their faces? I can’t tell if it’s the paintjob or the sculpt, but they don’t look right…

The Al Khadar has the best stance of them all. I should have known as the bad guy is always the best.
