Do you have a distributor in the USA?

Amazon Miniatures sell direct by mail order worldwide including the USA and therefore there is not a distributor in the USA. There are over 5000 miniatures in our ranges and this is too large a stock for any shop to carry. Mail order is fast and payment can be made in US Dollars

Can I pay in US Dollars?

What scale are the miniatures?

A good question because in fact while today's figures are called 25mm or 28mm there are variations in size. Most of our older figures are larger than 'true' 25mm and are a little smaller that today's 28mm figures but will still fit in alongside. AMS ranges are 28mm. We have now started to add scale information to the catalogue and where available this is shown in the range listings or when you press the "Info" button.

If you wish to have more specific answers with regards to certain ranges then please email info@amazonminiatures.com

Will the miniatures look right next to other manufacturers

Of course different people have various wishes but if you have any doubts then you are welcome to ask for specific comparisons with the figures you are already using. Please email info@amazonminiatures.com

Can I return my purchases?

If the goods are faulty or have been delivered incorrectly we will of course exchange these free of charge and postage and packing is free.

If you wish to return the goods because you have changed your mind, then you may exchange these for other items or for a credit note to the value of the goods. When you choose your alternative items please take into account the costs of postage & packing which will need to be added.

The QT ranges show various codes and letters in the information. What do they mean?

The QT and QT+ ranges are multipart figures, that is they are made up of various components: separate head, body, weapon and shield. Note the head is shown on the body for proportion only and the actual head is shown separately.

Body CA8 Head 1R Weapon 32R Shield 63R

In fact usually you do not need to look up these items. This information is provided for those that wish to order their own choice of figure components. If you do wish to look up the component parts these are found in the Bits Box Catalogue.

Are the miniatures painted?

No, the miniatures are delivered in bare metal for you to paint yourself or for a painter to do it for you. We can put you in touch with painters if you wish. email: painters@amazonminiatures.com. Also check our painters web page

On the multipart range (QT), can I order my own combination of heads, bodies weapons?

Yes, these are two ways to do this. 

The most fun way is to use our Design Your Own Miniatures section. You should log in as a member first as the miniatures you design need to be saved against your own name so that they can be retrieved again

Also most components are listed in the Bits Box Catalogue

You can buy

Will Amazon Miniatures sponsor or give prizes for our event/tournament?

Amazon Miniatures get a lot of requests for sponsorship and this is why we created a fair system of distributing the sponsorship & prize certificates awards through our Club Rewards Scheme. Club members get discount all year round and the club gets a credit towards prizes for their next tournament.

Sponsorship for Clubs that are not part of the Club Rewards Scheme scheme are unlikely to be considered.

Remember also when you proposing sponsorship, to make clear the whole proposal, i.e. don't just ask for sponsorship but outline exactly the promotional elements that benefit Amazon Miniatures for sponsorship: posters, inclusion in mailings, e-mailings, website banners etc.
