Kingmaker Miniatures have announced that they are being sold to Curteys Miniatures.

From their website:

Kingmaker Miniatures has been purchased by Curteys Miniatures, the changeover taking place early August.

It was a sad decision we made to sell Kingmaker, but with the new plastics company www.victrixlimited.com taking more and more of our time, plus our other commitments, we simply could not devote the time and attention to the range to make it grow as it should and as it deserves.

However, we are enormously pleased that Simon and Michael of Curteys are buying the company from us, and we know it is going to a good home. They are great guys to deal with, and customers will be really pleased to know they will be expanding the range further.

We have disabled the shopping cart on the website and it will be activated again as soon as Curteys have sorted their production system for the range and altered details on the site. Rest assured that normal business will be resumed shortly.

A big thank you to all our customers and stockists for your support.
