[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 382433, member: 1331"]Picked up two plaster figurines today and paid $40 for the guy and $50 the girl. The guy is “Hercules the archer” and mine is more modestly dressed than most of the bronze versions I've seen although the bronze bows are more substantial than my wimpy one.
