Z Scale People

well,, its nice to know,,, i m not alone in this. and that theres more of you out there with the same complaints!!! i ve bugged preiser to give z scale some new and better things,, than just the same old stuff. and to see there is some compitition out there, really gets me hoping things will change for us z heads..keep up the fight, email the companys and shout..WE NEED BETTER QUALITY PEOPLE AND WILD ANIMALS!!!

Since a lot of z stuff happens up in the Northwest, it might be fun to see a Bigfoot! Maybe if I get my hands on the 7 foot tall girl with no hands, I can kit-bash one.

I have seen her work live and up close.. truly amazing.. I just got a vision yesterday on how to make Bison! Ill experiment and see how they turn out.

A quick search of Z scale reference sites and, the magic power of internet search engines for "z scale people" or "z scale figures" would show Merten, a long time European supplier of people and animals. Not as well known but in business just about as long as Preisser.

Good luck getting those red stags...they have been back back ordered at the source in Germany for half a year... none in hobby shops over here. I needed those figures for a project.

Jim, the link is "bad" because the link is at the end of a post and includes an extra "." at the end (the period at the end of the sentence). If you simply delete that period and then resend (press Enter) it will come up with the England based site. They are selling sections from the bulk unpainted Preisser sprues.

Here is the direct link:

I just love the "naughty" ones that are available here. I MUST create a scene using those!

Bryan, You behave yourself now. Cheers, Jim CCRR:silly:

Just want to make it clear its not any American dealers fault, Merten had those Stags in the "Coming Soon" section for a while..
Someone wanted some Z scale pigs a while back... I was looking at the HO pigs by Preiser and by Noch.. one could use the piglets as Z scale hogs I believe. There is a bunch of piglets that goes with a Sow.. ..They could look like full sized hogs at a hog feeder in Z.
Again for those wanting wolves or coyotes, german shepard dogs from Preiser and Merten would work.
