BigBadToyStore is located in the USA but they ship overseas.

The Chief Tyrol Minimates are now in store.

You can purchase them from the BigBadToyStore website (and yes, they ship overseas).
Click on the links below to be taken to their website.

Lieutenant Helo and Deck Chief Galen Tyrol $6.99
Lieutenant Helo and Variant Chief Galen Tyrol $11.99

The Chief Tyrol on the right is more expensive because it is called a ‘variant’, which means that it is a variation on one of the characters already in this release. Only a limited number of the ‘variant’ figures are made and is therefore a collectible and more expensive.

Awww, and how cute is this? The Boomer minimate comes with a photo frame that has Chief Tyrol in it.

UPDATE: I found some better photos by jasontd on flickr

The Chief Tyrol Minimates are now available for pre-order from the BigBadToyStore website (they will be released in November 2007). At the moment you can only pre-order the entire set of 8 minimates. But they will be available to purchase individually. Both Chief Tyrol minimates will come packaged with the Helo Minimate.
