Suggestion: Barsoom-inspired Miniatures

[DMarcus]

I have always been a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series of books. Based on what I have seen on the web, there is a small but steady interest in the material. The recent Disney movie was an interesting retelling of the John Carter story. Has anyone discussed the possibility of Reaper designing figures inspired by the books/movies? Are there existing miniatures in the Reaper line that already fill this niche? I have not seen any in my browsing of the Reaper store - have I missed something?

There is already a line of mini's out there that are based on ERB's Martian books....green, red martians and also thoats and great white apes. Not sure if there are zitidars or calots though. Not sure if they are licensed though with ERB's estate.

 

Found it...It's Bronze Age Miniatures. The listings are not called what you would think but you can see pics of what would be recognized as being from Barsoom...:)

Two lines (not Reaper) from two different manufacturers that I'm aware of.

Tin Man has a selection of Barsoom-inspired figures. John Winter is the sculptor.

There's another company or two producing Barsoom models, besides Tin Man and Bronze Age. I'm sure someone will remind us of their names.

Nice figures on Tinman..but the thoat isn't anything like I pictured them...tail too short and neck too long,

Inspired by the movie, I bout the Tinman figures and they are excellent. Slightly large, they mix in well with Warmachine. Highly, highly recommended.

While not Barsoom there are some good Chronoscope figures for the Swords and Science genre (Andromedans) and there is a Jungle Lord as well for that other famous ERB Hero.
