Requesting a miniature ID

I've come across a rather curious miniature that I can't identify. There's photos at: http://s1197.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... a/library/ and it's marked "H.H.G 1996" on the base. It's a reptilian figure with six limbs total, spinal projections, a vein encrusted sword in one fist, the other arm is fused to a top clip fed futuristic SMG. The head is skull like with a flared crest. There's also fluted bone (?) wings that are attached to the middle of the back.
Can anyone ID it and give me some what idea of what it might be worth?
Any and all assistance is appreciated.

PBucket doesn't work right from work, so I can't look at the pics.
I moved your topic to the proper forum, though.

I'm oretty sure it's a old warzone / mutant chronicle model named something like isoule..... I'll dig up my warzone book and confirm it to you.

Is it plastic or metal? The plastic one came in the mutant chronicle board game and the other was sold for the warzone game.

My guess is that it is an Ezoghoul, from the Warzone line. I think (too busy to do more than cursory check) that H.H.G was Heartbreaker Hobbies and Games, which merged with Target (who made Warzone and Chronopia).

You can actually still buy some.



Warzone was a great game back in the days......

That seems pricey. But then again, I have something like 10 or 15 of the plastic ones that came with the board game. And a lot of undead legionnaires too.

Many Thanks, BarterTowners.
Yes, it is Warzones' Ezoghoul - though warlordgarous' pic is far better painted.
Thanks to MM for sending this to the proper forum. I wasn't sure where it might go but took as an example a 15 June post asking for a price estimate that had been posted in "Bartertown Information and Misc Messages". Live and learn.

It was like $25-30, I think when it was originally released back in the early 90's.

The site that hapotte posted a link for (thanks hapotte) quotes 20.28 euros or about $27.18 excluding VAT and postage. I might have some more WarZone buried about somewhere- I'll see if they'll turn up before I put this thing up for sale.
Thanks again to all the BarterTowners who responded. Always a helpful bunch.

I was glad to move it. Honestly, though, you illustrated exactly why we just move them and post a reminder, as opposed to the warnings that are issued in the Trade Forums. Even we miss them, sometimes. Heck, I was in the middle of responding when I realized it was in the wrong forum, so I added the part about moving it. LOL It just didn't register, at first.
It's all good.

Actually brings up a point. The misc msgs forum is kinda redundant with the Cafe and the Questions subs.

Misc Messages is "Bartertown related."
You know, like, if we're making any changes or things like that. While they're technically "Discussion" forums up there, they're more focused.
