Sherlock Grungebob on the case!

Sadly, the old thread where we discussed this stuff is long gone. You were indeed correct.

His site re-organization caught my eye and now I'm glad I looked through it. Seeing that sketch was worth snooping around.

very cool, but if he is a freelancer , how did he work after craig finished a charakter status. he create a figure . or he creat a asrech and craig makes a status.. or a real wokship craig said what a kind he want and then comes all this strech and status staff one by one.


sad that his page is so small about (he could show all that stuff that are out now)

i wished the creators would make a movie of their work , for the fans not with secret stuff. craige gives two intervies one here and ones scott. and if you catch him on gencon.

he must fear the fans we are not like"season one was badder then season too","why did you kill shanon", "are you guys out of ideas?"
we buy that stuff and after taht we say wow that was good but this army was poor we wait for the next wave . and not boycoott a produck becase dünd is poor.

Wow! This is fascinating info. GB, I completely missed your earlier thread on HQ. It would seem you know your stuff. Thanks Annerios.

Great eyes, GB.
Another neat thing about this community is how everyone can bring something to contribute from their 'areas of expertise'!
Any chance you can share some of the other comparison figures you had suspected resemblingy Naismith's style?

Do you think Naismith did BattleBall as well? I know there's the Dumetef/Collosor the Dim comparison...

Great find.....that certainly looks like Mimring. Copyright Hasbro 2007....hmmm it sort of looks like a combination of Carr, Drake and Samurai though. Maybe it is a revamped version of Carr who knows.

Wow this figure could almost be the Heavy Tackle for the Iron Wolves!

I remember when this was brought up a couple years ago. We had some pictures of Naismith's other works in that thread that was a dead givaway, particularly the feet. Well done on the confirmation!!

The dragon I mentioned in last post.. on last page...

it apears this dragon in this auction is modular... change the head/arms legs etc.. and repaint it... maybe his ebay ID?

[flying_chipmunk]

nice... That robot picture above looks a bit like a gladiatron (claw) and DW9k... maybe another but thats kinda what I think....

And that agent Carr like guy... looks... intrigueing.... alot to look forward to in the world of Heroscape I guess! (and about $250.00 more... not counting gas $$$)

This was "Confirmed" for me a few months ago from the wonderful lady at "the Last Square" in beautiful, Madison,WI.

A huge game shop with more mini's then they'll ever sell.
I actually brought in a Thorgrim figure in with me, and she said it "looked" like "Bob's" work.

With the Starship Troopers line for Mongoose, the HS figures, Dark Realms and more, Naismith sounds like a busy guy.

He likes making robots with big shoulder pads. Q-9's cousins:

Man, those things could all be Death Walkers.
