It is both toxic and expensive.

Most metal miniature will be made from a non toxic white metal alloy. Though this should be displayed on the packet, don't buy if it is not.

The obvious solution is to just post her in the direction of GW. She can choose to avoid metal by buying plastic minis and what metal they do sell is safe, but expensive.

Personally I have been playing with toy soldiers since the 80's so lead and otherwise and no harm done [I have 2 degrees and a good job so the old noggin must be okay, of course i'm a 33 year old man playing with toys so YMMV].

Even if you do own led minis you will not get any damage from lead unless you ingest it which is easily avoid by washing your hand and not eating metal figures. Plus once they are painted then they are sealed so the problem [if it is one?] end there.

I hope it helps, not very specific i'm afraid. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418214.page GMT Which Miniature Companies make lead figures?

I gave her a box of Sisters of Battle but she prefers using other companies' female figures. She says that they look pretty much like space marines with boobs and short haircuts. So I'm off to help her find some figures she likes ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418224.page GMT Which Miniature Companies make lead figures?

Also they are in Oz, but you probably know that!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418291.page GMT Which Miniature Companies make lead figures? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1418516.page GMT Which Miniature Companies make lead figures? SF and historical figures in plastic. They also make figures in metal.

All the other companies use metal.

As noted above, the metal is non-toxic providing you don't file it down to dust, dissolve it in acid and drink it.

GW has the widest range of fantasy and SF plastic models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1419568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1419568.page GMT Re:Which Miniature Companies make lead figures? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1419662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1419662.page GMT Which Miniature Companies make lead figures?

LGS today and she found the Malifaux line and I have to say it ain't half bad. She got a couple of The Neverborn while I got myself an awesome mercenary. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1423237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284732/1423237.page GMT
