need help with a conversion project

[Inarah]

I'm running a Cthulhu game in 2 weeks and I need to come up with a bunch of cheap FEMALE minis fast.  I have no problem finding male figures in suits to use for a 1920's game.  It's suitable female adventurers in normal clothing that are in short supply. 

 

I'm looking at clix on ebay, since they run about a buck apiece and I found a vendor who mails asap so I'll have time to work on them if they need modding before the game.  What I need help with is identifying female characters.  I just don't know what names to be searching for.  I need ladies in dresses.  

 

Also, anything cheap out there that passes for a shoggoth? Besides the one Reaper makes? 

 

Help me, hivemind, you're my only hope.

Did you check DiceBagLady? She has a lot of female figures in her shop.

Erf. Buncha cheap female figures in 1920s street clothes. Don't ask much, dooya?

Go to Troll and Toad (or other miniatures retailer of your choice; I use T&T because they're fast, dependable, and cheap) and go to ALL HEROCLIX SINGLES, and scroll down. It will take you a while. If you are prepared to mod them clotheswise, there are a great many females available inexpensively, and they ship quick. They DO have Lois Lane and some other female civilians, as well, but I have no idea how many or how cheap at the moment.

I do not link due to board rules, but I've done plenty of business with them, and mutilated many of their Clix.

EDIT: Go there and look for Lois Lane. Most of her variants have knee length skirts, and sell for half a buck to a buck or so. Load up on those, and use arm and head switches and palette swaps to create entire gynospheres, so to speak.

That it what I have been doing, and random luck has been pretty... random.

Lois Lane, gotcha.  I suppose a little putty will fix the skirt length. Otherwise she looks ok.

Do a Heroclix search for "Nurse".  There are several varieties that might work with a little modding... "Night Nurse", "Green Lantern Nurse"; and heck, even "Nurse Chapel"!

 Also "SHIELD Agent, female", "Maria Hill", and "Lana Lang"... Can't speak to the prices, but they'll be wearing knee-length skirts and jackets or vests.

 

I've got two Clix that might work. Gimme a few days to poke at em, I'll see what I can do.

 

 Ack. Scratch that. Simple Green ate their face. (For Science!)

Bob Murch has a line of Pulp Fiction miniatures that are beauties & very reasonably priced. He did RAFM Cthulhu minis as well. 

Getting the package fro Canada in time for a game might be difficult.

[Inarah]

So, I found Betty Brant, Pepper Potts, Nurse, Harleen Quinzel, Barbara Gordon, Karen Page, Triplicate Girl, Lana Lang, and Jane Foster.  That ought to populate the game map sufficiently.

The FFG arkham horror game had a series of minis. It looks like most are sold out at the source, but you may be able to find some in stores.
