Just asked my parents to get me 7TV as a birthday present, now looking for figures. I am aware of the Crooked dice range, and other ranges such as Copplestone, and I will get the personality figures from such places. However I'm looking for a cheaper alternative for those guys in the orange jumpsuits whose job was to run forward with a SMG (usually a Grease gun or sten) for 007 to gun down. I'm thinking possibly WW2- any suggestions? |

Additional thought I'm thinking SAS in berets for good guys, preferably without webbing. |

Thanks for those. Those SAS figures are the perfect example- the 'genre' figures are 3 for £6.50 GBP, personalities at Crooked Dice are £4.00 GBP each (I understand this- figures have a fixed cost, plus the casing cost. 1 per army figures have to divide that among less figures) The SAS are 4 for £5.40 GBP- half the price of the CD figures. This is why I'm looking for cheaper options on the 'mooks and redshirts' – the generic faceless masses whose job is to be thrown 20 feet in the air by grenades (given the gout of flame and power Hollywood grenades produce, I can only assume they are Nuclear grenades!)
I'll definitely be getting a Hugo Solomon though!

link East Riding Miniatures has Boilersuit Shocktroopers and Hooded Cultists. I like the look of them and own the cultists. I don't knoiw how much cheaper they are, but they're cool miniatures. |
