Or they added it in case Jews would become offended again?
Though in "reality" (poor word choice, I know) any symbol that people put faith into could repel the undead, be it a cross, star, swastika or the trice blessed Aquila.

Oh GOD I hate that show. Seriously how does it keep getting airtime? I watched one where they were looking for Sasquatch(sp?) and crawled into a space so TIGHT they had to holld their breath and take off coats and stuff to squeeze in. Really? I always thought the Sasquatch was yanno, 7-8 feet tall and huge. But whatever.
I like to randomly look at the reaper line just because sometimes they inspire me with ideas, and other times I just laugh. My wife loves those mice things uptop BTW

Post by: Kanluwen
It keeps getting airtime because of the fact that he's actually gotten some of the best evidence out there of some of these creatures.
A DNA sample from a completely unknown creature following an expedition looking for Mkoele-Membe in the Congo, two beautiful casts of what could potentially have been Yeti footprints in the Himalayas(which actually made international headlines when the Nepalese were told about it when they had to declare it to customs before leaving), and some other stuff.
It doesn't hurt, however, that Josh Gates is a really interesting/amusing host

See the little white points on the right of the picture? Reaper uses those to show the height of their miniatures - the bottom point is .5 inch high and the top one is 1 inch high.
Reaper's minis are actually a little bigger than the typical GW ones.

No, Reaper is exactly the same scale and not 1.5 inches as Gitkikka suggests.
Only possibility is that they use full centimeters and measure from the top of the base.

Please read the Wiki-article I posted before. Driders are well known creatures of Faerûn as well, as featured in the above mentioned Drizzt novels. They are an essential element of the Underdark realm of the Dark Elves. Can't find striders ATM (typo of Drider?), sound like giant spiders to me.

I'm a big fan of reaper for my D&D campaigns. I drop some $$$ at their GenCon booth each year and once was at a HackMaster tournament at their Denton, TX HQ. Good folks. They gave us a tour of how they make the metal minis, and we got to see some of their "in the works" molds and pieces. I keep meaning to go to ReaperCon each year, but I keep haveing conflicts (Cousin's wedding this year).
Also, some of the Chronoscope minis make excellent BattleTech pilots and crewmen.

According to your theory and the thread you quoted, this miniature should be 1.5" to the top of its head (without the bun) or 3.8 cm.
I own this miniature and it actually is 3cm high or 1 3/16 " , as would be expected if the measure indicates cm not half inches.
Seems like some Reaper officials are misinformed or took a European measure

You're right. He follows the laws, can't be anything like Indy
But no, the story is apparently they were in Russia investigating claims of a Russian Sasquatch, a border guard tried to say their papers were out of order and demanded $6500 as a "fine".
When they refused, the guy attacked them and got his nose broken for his trouble. Which amuses me endlessly.

I'd cast blame at the customers not the producers. Reaper has a goodly number of fully-clothed, practically dressed women and I'm sure they keep track of sales of them vs bimbos in chainmail bikinis.
'Sex sells' alas is not a myth.
