We still make them, but the GZ-05A and B are actually the oldest minis
we
still have in our ranges! They were done  a LONG time ago, and yes, I
agree
they are certainly not up to the standard of current stuff - they were
actually made by a sculptor who created his masters in metal rather than
milliput or greenstuff! We keep them in the range because they DO still
sell, and we've never got round to replacing them..... :-/
