Anyone know a good jester model?

My friends and I are playing a purely human league (well ogres are allowed) and want a jester model for a star player.

The star player is meant to have halfling blood in his ancestry so we want one that is shorter than a normal human model.

So far we have found the mordheim one from the carni warband and Nik Nak with Bloody rose (can't remember who makes that one).

Does anyone out there know of any others?

Isn't there an old character from WHFB? Tristan le Troubadour I think he was called, from the Brettonian army list.

Jules le Jongleur, that's what he was called.
Here he is:

The hobby horse looks a little hard to remove, but quite a nice little model. Thank you.

Any others anyone knows about?

Hiya,

there used to be an old citadel miniature called 'Corbitt Shortstuff' who was a gnome jester from the Dwarf Kings Court set. But we are talking probably 25 years ago and no I'm not swapping him!
He would be ideal though

Tried googling a pic of him, but nothing returned.....
I'll get round to it someday....

Maybe not really what you are looking for but here's an undead jester from Reaper:

There was a Goblin Jester type character in the old Warhammer Quest: Lair of the Orc Lord expansion, might be hard to get, but i think it was plastic so a conversion to make it look like a halfling should be quite easy.

Edit: he is not plastic, but he is available in the online store

Here's a picture of the Dwarf King's court jester mentioned above by zak:

Cheers for all the references the old kings court model does look the best and I've managed to win and ebay auction for the set.

If anyone knows of others I'd still be pleased to hear about them. I was really surprised how few jester model existed.
