Maybe it is me, but it seems the fabulous Hornet heads have gone the way of the American Bison. Colorado Miniatures doesn't carry them anymore it seems. They don't reply to my emails. I find only a few knock off heads on Ebay. They are the best heads in 1/35 and now i wish I had purchased more last year. Anyone know what's going on with the company?

Sorry to say but Colorado Miniatures is no more.

Here's a really good US distributor for Hornet Heads: Michigan Toy Soldier

And here's a handy Hornet Catalog from Historex

Well Roger is still going strong anyway. I was with him at the AMPS show in the U.S. in April this year and he has certainly not stopped producing them.

Thanks Mike,
Too bad about Colorado Miniatures going under. A bit pricy but he carried great stuff. I will check out your suggestion.

Thanks, Ron,
They do seem to carry a lot of the Hornet heads. They are the best to jazz up a nice Dragon figure.

One more thing ... If you haven't done so already, you might want to tryout the Hornet Hands (three sets of six available), they are absolutely brilliant!

Good call! I was just at the Valley Forge figure show last month and stocked up on Hornet stuff at the Red Lancers' stand. Nice people.

Ultra Cast in Canada would have the cheapest prices - well under $14 USD, and the way $ CAN is dropping, cheaper tomorrow!

Thanks, Tony. I have done business with Red Lancer for several years now. I had forgotten he carried the Hornet line.
