Manta Figurines Closes Down Production/Web Site
« on: June 16, 2014, 09:39:33 AM »
I am sorry to say that a recent E Mail from Christophe has confirmed that he has Stopped producing figures under the Manta Figurines Label. He stated that sales did not warrant the Time and Effort in production and costs. I am saddened by this news as Christophes 3 pilot figures that were produced were second to none!

I'm very sorry about this as well. I thought his Guynemer figure was excellent, a superb rendering of a specific individual.
I only discovered Manta's demise recently, when I decided I wanted his French pilot, with the cork hatted head.

In case anyone's interested, I found them and received prompt service from http://tonyshop.fr/
This was only the other day, but don't shoot me if their stock has now gone...
