MikeD Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've got a yen for some historical-ish figures. I know we have that one Native American Chieftan miniature, but how about some Native American Warriors from various tribes? An American Mountain Man with hawken rifle? James Bowie with his big knife? Navy SEALS in wetsuits with M16's? An African Big Game Hunter with double-rifle? A retro, 1960's era Astronaut? An old fashioned British Bobbie with whistle and billy club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more like an AK, but there is an existing SEAL in a wetsuit: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/seal/latest/50058#detail/50058_w_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Peacock Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've got a yen for some historical-ish figures.

James Bowie with his big knife? Navy SEALS in wetsuits with M16's? An African Big Game Hunter with double-rifle? A retro, 1960's era Astronaut? An old fashioned British Bobbie with whistle and billy club? I'd suggest #50096 "Jonathan Kincaide, Big Game Hunter" for the big game hunter. I'd suggest #50106 "British Bobby" for a British bobby. Although it's not strictly realistic by any means, if you want a retro 1960-ish astronaut, 50101 "Duke Jones, Astronaut" might be a good starting point. #50105 - "Davy Crockett" might work for a mountain man, complete with muzzle-loading rifle. And as someone already noted, there's 50058 Navy Seal Diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It looks more like an AK, but there is an existing SEAL in a wetsuit: I know I've seen that figure before, but for some reason I didn't realize it was supposed to be a SEAL. I'd suggest #50096 "Jonathan Kincaide, Big Game Hunter" for the big game hunter. Not a double rifle, but it will work. Thanks! I'd suggest #50106 "British Bobby" for a British bobby. D'oh! Not sure how I missed that one. Although it's not strictly realistic by any means, if you want a retro 1960-ish astronaut, 50101 "Duke Jones, Astronaut" might be a good starting point. Yeah, got that one. I was hoping for something a but more historically correct for the Mercury/Gemini program era. #50105 - "Davy Crockett" might work for a mountain man, complete with muzzle-loading rifle. Got that one, too. Its a great figure but about 100 years too early. I'm thinking more like "Bear Claw", the crazy old trapper from the movie Jeremiah Johnson. Thanks for all the suggestions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper_the_2nd Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 They also had the Syntha Hunter-Killer 2000 Grav bike. Syntha was my army...I'll finish painting it some day. Void 1.1 (not at Scotia Grendel) has two Syntha grav bikes, the Tornado 2000, and the Sentinel 2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsides Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 'not at Scotia Grendel' should read 'NOW at Scotia Grendel'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Engel Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I work at Intel and would love to see some minis wearing clean room suits. Civilian types in 'Clean room' or Biocon suits could have a number of applications for modern or sci-fi gamers, and could be made even more versatile if supplied with alternate heads - Facemasks, full respirators,etc, and possibly optional 'scrubber' backpacks.

Erifnogard Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Some futuristic psycher types would be awesome. Third eyes, bald heads, crazy psionic weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickT Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I’ve got a few more from the “not” category. I’d like to see not-Ford-Prefect, an intergalactic vagabond with hand spurs that include a towel as an option… could also double as not-The-Doctor. Another one I’d like to see is not-Marty-McFly on a hover board. Not-Riggs, and his partner, not-Murtaugh… Who’s clearly getting to old for this stuff. Finally, not-John-McClane; by which I mean an action hero who has clear had the ever living tar beaten out of him over the course of the adventure. I’m thinking torn cloths, bandages, and of course, missing shoes. Also, from the not-not category, classic D&D style monsters in modern attire. I would love a Rakshasa or a Minotaur or an Ilithid Bathalian in a suit, maybe packing heat. I run a Basic D&D Modern/Zombie Campaign (Think Dresden files/The Laundry Files + Resident Evil where THAC0 is still optional) and the not-classic-d&d beaties in modern attire is a major win. Also.. -More Larger figures The idea fo giant in Samuri holding a period JApanese cannon as a hand gun. _Love much to Rasputin -A dual shotgun wielding russian man (Have nice day) -loads of tentacle variants; coming out of sewer grates, trash cans, as arm sprues.. whatever... -Expand the CAV inspired; line include Ritterlich females ala http://nickt.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d2ebzfv - I'd love to do a CAV heroic fantasy scale game) -"bugs' not-starship troops at all - Scottish Plesiosaur -a 'tampering with Sasquach' / "destination: Fact" line of of modern crypids and the folks who pursue them -"Kung fu playa" a 70/80's era martial artist with large hair _Space Cowboys (tho of topic would make great mouslings) -Chained sewer croc (Urban legends) -Hook man -Dog-headed woman _A Whole line of not-babylon 5, At Least an 'enviromental suited ambassador" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayushiseni Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I don't know if someone else already asked for this. Sorry if this has already been asked. I would like to have and I guess I'm not the only one to want it, a mounted Ellen Stone (50003). The way she is already an Icon of Reaper, I guess that this would be a successful mini. I may have to convert one, but I'd much prefer an original one. Edited January 6, 2013 by Bayushiseni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teskal Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) She has her legs so wide apart that she could be easily selfmodified. You must only remove the cloak between the legs on the backside. This remove part could be used to make out of paper tissue a cloak which lies on the horse. Green Stuff and Plastic Putty can help to make little corrections. You need only do find a horse you like. (I didn't saw your last sentence...)
