Help me find a mini

[sniffles]

Anyone know where I can get a mini of a hippogriff? The only one I can find is from Grim Reaper and it\'s not very appealing. Does GW make one? I can\'t get to their site from work.

Cheers!

gw do do one. i have an old monsters catalogue that has at least one there. dunno if you\'ll be able to find it online - try giving them a call

You\'re up late. Thanks!

I\'ll have to have a look around. Maybe one of my GW-collecting friends will be willing to part with an old one.

Pegasus is a winged horse.

Hippogriff is kinda like a griffon, where the griffon has the front part of an eagle with a lion\'s hindquarters, the hippogriff has the eagle front with a horse\'s hindquarters.

Hope that helps clarify things.

Is it the thing in the last Harry Potter movie?? There was some beast in the forest that sound\'s similar.

...a hippo is a horse. Hippopotamus literally translated means \"water horse\", which is why the \"hippo\" in hippogriff. I just can\'t figure out how griff = eagle.

@Shawn RL: Yep, that\'s what was in the Potter movie. Cool, wasn\'t it?

wow..... you learn something new everyday

I have an old GW hippogriff if you want it I\'m sure that it is in my bits box somewhere in fact I know it is as it was going to be part of the next mini swap.

 

[Frustrated Father]

Hah! Hold onto it Tim and make sniffles wait for it in a mini swap.

 

[tidoco2222]

Now that\'s not very nice Nathan

 

[sniffles]

@Jubilee - I might have known you\'d find one, Ali. Too bad it\'s just as unattractive as the Grim Reaper one IMO.


@FF - what Tim said!!

@tidoco - That\'s very nice of you, but I\'m not sure I\'ve got anything decent to swap.
