I forgot to post these earlier, so here they are. Scroll down to see both of them.
This is Jeanne d'Arc. She comes in two versions, mounted and on foot. I only have the latter. Both versions come with a nice paper banner and a metal spear to put the banner on.
Actually, you get two flags, in case you mess up the first! The flag artwork is Martin Whitmore.
The second figure is a fantasy one.
She is a spellcaster, described as an Arcane Witch on the website. As you can see, she is hovering above the ground, buoyed up by her magical powers.
Nicely done. There's an equestrian statue of Joan in Notre Dame. UK tour guides refer to her as "Joanie on the Pony."
ReplyDeleteI thought that the Joanie on the Pony statue was in New Orleans? There is a big golden equestrian statue of Jeanne d'Arc in the Place des Pyramides at the junction of the Rue de Rivoli and the Rue des Pyramides in Paris. The only one of her in Notre Dame that I can think of is on foot.
DeleteIt's been a few years since I was last in Paris, so what passes for my memory may be at fault.
DeleteThat's reasonable. We all get stuff wrong from time to time. None of us are perfect.
