Between IronClad Miniatures and Parroom Station I have managed to find figures for the entire League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, with the exception of Tom Sawyer. Can anyone recommend a suitable 28mm figure for Tom? Here are a couple of pictures of him from the movie:
(Tom is on the far right).
(Tom is on the far left). I don't really care if the figure has a duster or not, but bare headed would be preferred. Any help would be appreciated. |

No help, but could you give a list of what your using? I see the pictures have only the good doctor; have you a Hyde? Thanks! Doug |

Good question. This is what I have come up with:
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:
Character Parroom Station (Brigade Games) IronClad Miniatures Mina Harker £3.00 GBP Capt. Nemo $7.00 USD (w/Invisible Man) £3.00 GBP Invisible Man £3.00 GBP Dr. Jekyll $3.50 USD £3.00 GBP Mr. Hyde $3.50 USD £3.00 GBP Tom Sawyer ? ? Is this what you wanted, or did you want a picture of Hyde? |

Reaper has several cowboys that might serve in the Chronoscope line. link Looks like you'd need a head swap if you wanted a bare head, though. |

What about the Armed Archeologists from Cobblestone Castings. The one that is "not" Rick from the Mummy movies? |

Reaper also has a really good invisible man figure. I think for the Tom figure cowboys are going to be your best bet. Foundry have a lot to look at. I seem to recall one that matches close the first picture of the group you have. |

I know most of the above ranges pretty well but can't think of a "bare headed" chap suitable with long curly hair like the movie shots.Some ranges Custer would be good but he has a tash and beard :( I have the "Rick" mini myself and though the chap may bare some vague ;) (I'm sure that wasn't the intention of the sculptor ;) being a chap of great skill and virtue)look to a movie character his got a rather short modern hair style unlike the LEG film.But its a very nice fig. I'd say a head swap from another range onto a suitable body with a Winchester rifle.Maybe a Foundry Tarzan or a cave man with long hair? |

Check out Foundry code OW5/7 the figure named Tobias Vaughn looks a good match. |

Knuckleduster has a couple in this pack which would work after a head-swap. I don't think they are wearing spurs. Might need to trim off a holster. link Nice enough figures, and VERY good value. |

There is an Old Glory cowboy figure, wearing a vest and bareheaded, which looks almost exactly like that. |
| Robert Burke | 23 Jun 2013 2:54 p.m. PST |
I appreciate all the suggestions. The Foundry Tobias Vaughn figure has possibilities. Unfortunately, I can't find any pictures of the Old Glory cowboys. Does anyone know where I can find pictures of them? Also, Old Glory is advertised as 25mm. How well do they mix in with 28mm figures? |

My Old Glory go well with my KNuckleduster figures as far as height. The difference is that the Old Glory Figures have a lot thicker bases, so just standonng next to each other appear a good bit taller. They also mix with Cowboywars figures, wich I really like for the mounted/dismounted figure sets. Owen |
| badger22 | 23 Jun 2013 10:31 p.m. PST |
Let me add a biot to this. it depends on what line of Old glory we are talking about. Cowboywarss is smaller thatn thier warpath stuff. I dugg out a bit to paint this afternoon, and warpath are a bit taller and bulkier than either cowboywars or Knuckleduster either one. Not a new problem with old glory. And not what I was hoping when I ordered them, but xlose enough I will use them. And the question comes up of how many of them you need. If only a few, a couple off size are just normal human variation. If a lot more, it does look odd to have some units a lot larger than others. But none of them are as large as Redoubt stuff. Owen |

Except for his mustache here is a figure in the Lord Curr's Company pack from In Her Majesty's Name that would suit very well. Bottom left

| Robert Burke | 24 Jun 2013 11:56 a.m. PST |
You're absolutely right! But aren't these figures only available as a set? |
| TheBeast | 24 Jun 2013 12:11 p.m. PST |
For the time being; the demand seems good enough to focus on sets. Eventually, Nick will probably sell singles; didn't sound as if any contractual understandings barred such. Normally, though, I'd suggest not holding your breath, but a bit of turning blue might help. ;->= Thanks for your list, Mr. Burke! Doug |

I just noticed the guy in the center on the far right. He has an unbuttoned jacket. I can't tell if he has a mustache or not because of the way he is holding his rifle. But I think he would work too. |

I have Lord Curr's Company and if your interested in either of those figures or both let me know as I don't need them and I'm sure we can work something out. I bought the company for the Mohan Singh figure for a Nemo company I'm putting together. PM if your interested.

The new line of her Majasties name figs are really well done but pricy @ 27 for 9 unpainted figs. Try ororke in the aritzan thrilling tales range they do great castings as well. I am building a colonial/pulp campaign n use them. |
| DLIinVSF | 01 Jul 2013 10:54 a.m. PST |
Talking about Artizan,North Star had posted a new range coming from Aritzan soon which could be used for VSF on their facebook page. Not seen any pics yet but may something to watch out for. |
| shamoo | 03 Jul 2013 5:15 a.m. PST |
I think that may be in her majesties name. the figs are really good. I am doing pulp now and use the old boothill rules find them very good. playable detailed skirmish combat |

Robert, Who's figure did you use to represent Dorian Gray? I'm trying to find one and unfortunately I'm struggling. Regards Simon |
| dndgeek | 15 Aug 2018 11:07 a.m. PST |
@simon wilson, I know I'm very late to this party, but if anyone is looking for Dorian Gray minis, here are some options: Mr. Dorian and Mr. Gray (2 figs), Element Games INF-FOP-04
link Dorian, West Wind Productions COTD-28
link Dorian, Stan Johansen Miniatures SP20m
link Rum & Bones: League of Extraordinary Pirates Hero Pack, CMON
link That last one is pretty pricey at $45 USDish, but it's a Kickstarter-exclusive set of 5 figs and the Dorian figure is kinda cool, with the mirror in hand. Maybe he could be found elsewhere for cheaper. I have multiple options for all of the other characters too in the link below if anyone is interested, but note that I am using the comic character likenesses and abilities, not the movies, which are slightly different (no Tom Sawyer, for example). link |
