Two New Minis Join Harwood’s Sinbad Selection
April 1, 2013 by dracs
Harwood Hobbies have added two new sculpts to their range based upon the classic Sinbad films of exotic fantasy swashbuckling.
This first one is the slave girl Nyaf, a seductive presence in any game you might wish to include he in.
She is followed by the flamboyant Vizier.
Now as anyone who has ever read a Terry Pratchett book will know a vizier is inevitably a scheming, power hungry villain, so this guy could make a good enemy in your DnD games, a political schemer using sorcery to further his aims.
Both of these are currently 15% off, so now would be the time to get them from Harwood if you like the look of them.
What might you use these as?
Nyaf look good, especially the face is top notch. Vizier is too cartoonish for my taste.
The Vizier is wearing a golden mask, which is not that far off what I remember from the film.
Don’t remember Nyaf, but possibly because I can’t think of anyone else other than Caroline Munroe as Margiana.

for some reason I fancy a tot of Lamb’s Navy Rum
I love that film ! The whole series of Ray Harryhausen ones, in fact.
Still, nostalgia alone isn’t enough to make me crave those minis. they’re still too cartoony for me… But I’m sure many people will like them. It’s just a certain sculpting style.
Ray Harryhausen… the good old days of film. Nice models as well.
Niyaf has very nice sculpt but Vizier looks little too cartoony.
