Looking at a design of a possible team of Supers for a game and wanted to get some idea of figures for the component members of that team.
Please excuse cross-posting – I didn't want to post this a bunch of times to each fium. I would need: 1) An Amerindian Shaman or, possibly, warrior – preferably an older looking figure to act as a "mentalist" type character. 2) A late 1700's "Minute Man" figure to act as a "ranged combat" character. 3) An American Cavalryman from the 1840 to 1865 era to act as a "brawler" type character. 4) A WW1 "Doughboy" figure to act as a "Brick" type character. 5) A WW2 Fighter Pilot as a "speedster" or "flying" character. And, possibly, as an alternate figure, a post-WW2 Spec Ops or infantryman figure. Gracias, Glenn Again, apologies for the cross posting in advance if that offends someone. |

Crud, forgot to add – you can e-mail me with figure source ideas at warbeads AT yahoo DOT com or PM me to save space here on TMP. Gracias, Glenn |

What about a "James Bond" type of character sort of a CIA cold wars invisible type |

What scale were you looking at?? |

What a cool idea for a Super team – "the All-American Heroes" or suchlike. But would the Native American Shaman get along that well with the 19th C cavalryman? ;-) w. |

I am going to assume 25/28mm Pilots – try Copplestone WWI – lots of manufacturers, I recommend Renegade Cavalryman – Foundry has some Shaman – Frontiersman – Blue Moon Problem with these, many of them come in packs |

Uh, duh on me, 25/28/etc. mm for Supersystem IIRC, some comics "teams" have seething personality/personnel issues? Well, it is All American because I am an American but I sketched out an All European Team first when I realized I probably didn't know half enough History of Europe to do it justice. I'd be interested to see what others with better knowledge would select. I work for the Intelligence community – it would be too tempting to create a <select agency of choice> cartoon character…"grin" Gracias, Glenn Gracias, Glenn |

Jeff Valent has a cavalryman, but he's a bit tallish when compared to some of the other ranges (he's definitely "heroic 28mm"). |

I was going to suggest Jeff Valent cavalryman too. He'd make a great brawler do to his size. I've painted mine up as a buffalo soldier and he really is impressive (the model, not my paint job) Skipper |

Do they make a 30-35mm tall Mickey Mouse? There's your spook-type. |

LOL! You have no idea what joy that gave me! Gracias, Glenn |

Nah, Bugs Bunny fits the theme better: auction
1-1/2" tall, so perfect for 28mm. (It's the ears that make him so tall. Hah!) |

Bugs might be too powerful/competent. Now, Daffy Duck… Gracias, Glenn |
| mmitchell | 28 Sep 2008 12:48 p.m. PST |
Skipper: What a coincidence! I also painted mine as a Buffalo Soldier! Apparently great minds think alike… |

Man, where is Duck Rodgers when you need him… Gracias, Glenn |

Hijacking my own thread! Wild Hair Moment: Speedsters – Speedy Gonzales, Road Runner, or Taz In that order for me. Brick – Daffy Duck (how many ways can you said "ouch",) Wile E. Coyote (close second.) Brawler – Yosemite Sam, Donald Duck (Rage anyone,) Popeye, Woody Woodpecker in that order. Honorable mention to Taz as dual-hatted. Mentalist – Bugs Bunny, also ran – (Wizard) Mickey Mouse Flyer – Rocket J. Squirrel, Mighty Mouse, Tweety Bird and in that order. Gracias, Glenn Now we will return you to your normal/original thread. |

Dang, Glenn, and you just *know* they make pewter collectibles of most if not all of those. Must . . . resist . . . temptation . . . |
| gozer87 | 29 Sep 2008 1:33 a.m. PST |
Popeye as the brick/brawler! Definately a great idea for different kind of supers campaign. |

I've got the old Toon "rat with a pistol" mini in my Odd Squad team, and his archnemesis Frankenswine painted up as a villain. If you ask me, the key power for cartoon characters is Regeneration. They're easy enough to hurt, but making them STAY down takes some doing. |
| jpattern2 | 29 Sep 2008 4:36 p.m. PST |
Heh, I have the old Toon minis, too, Hundvig. I wish they were still available (and a little bigger). |
