TIKI:
The wood carvings of Hawaiian mythology are known as Tikis. In the days of the ancient Hawaiians they were carved for various reasons such as: good luck, protection, fertility, strength, power, love, and other strong family (ohana) values…

So here we have it, the first photo from the new range…

All good Hawaiian themed games need a tiki – don’t they?

Our tiki stands about 15mm tall, and should add that extra something to your Hawaiian themed games – DBA perhaps?

Tomorrow we take the wraps off the remainder of the new range. Be sure to check in tomorrow night…

Time for the nightly update…

Last time I mentioned that I was re-mastering one of Jack’s 54mm figures; well, I’m not quite done yet, but we’ve posted a photo of a casting from the production mold (as used by Scruby Miniatures). The model pictured has been cleaned up considerably, as it was cast from a mold that is worn out. The newly re-mastered figure will go into a new mold and the castings will be crisp and clean.

So, the figure I’m working on is none other than King Kamehameha! I bet you saw that one coming from a mile away, or maybe not…

In any event we will still give away castings to the first two (2) people to send me an email message requesting a figure – send your message to my email account: mike@historifigs.com

I just finished inking the subject of the picture for tomorrow’s update. I’m also seeing what type of historical background I can write up to go with the picture. So, look for another update tomorrow night.

And Remember there are only seven (7) more days until Kamehameha day!

Oops! I missed getting in an update yesterday. Guess I was too busy in the shop or something…

Anyhow, I will be updating again tonight, there should be a new picture at that time, and tomorrow, we should have the first pictures of the new figures…

So, in the meantime if you have a guess at what the new figures are, send an email message to: contests@historifigs.com and tell us what you think the new figures are (theme and scale). The first three (3) correct answers will receive a “free” package of the new release. This offer expires once I post pictures of the new figures.

If you don’t make a guess, or win this time, don’t worry there are plenty more prizes to win between now and the 11th.

The Hula dancer pictured in our last posting is more then just a picture/hint. It too is a new release in the 54mm line (part number 54-Hula). The figures are priced at $5.50 each (unpainted) or $15.50 each (painted – allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery of painted figures).

I am in the process of re-mastering one more 54mm to go along with the current theme – I hope to have by tonight, but it might be tomorrow before the pictures can be taken (need to finish the work before I can photograph it). OK, if you can guess what this 54mm figures, send me (mike@historifigs.com) an email message with your guess – the first two (2) correct guesses will win a production version of the figure. Offer expires, once we announce or post pictures of the figure.

Yesterday it was 10 days until Kamehameha Day. Today we have 9 days remaining…

These two clues along with today’s picture should give you a good idea of the scale and theme of our upcoming new release…

Stay tuned for more details!

Kamehameha Day is 11 June…

In Hawaii, Kamehameha Day is celebrated with elaborate events harkening back to ancient Hawaii and respecting traditions defended by Kamehameha as Hawaiian society was slowly shifting towards European trends…

In Wisconsin, HistoriFigs will celebrate Kamehameha Day 2006 with an exciting new release!

Stay tuned for pictures, details and a chance to win “free” miniatures!

Be sure check back daily between now and Kamehameha Day
