Excellent minis by Slap Minis. slapminis.com
I didn't do them justice, but wanted to share.

Enjoy.

Excellent – if a bit expensive.

Anyone knows their exact size? Would they mix well with Pulp Figures?

I have no problem using them together.
The Slap minis are a tad bigger, but Popeye and Bluto are strong hero types and Olive always was a tall wispy sort. I am more concerned about equipment comparability as it doesn't matter who is holding the Enfield or the MP40, it should be the same size no matter how tall the man holding it. This obviously is not an issues with the Slap figs as ole Popeye and Bluto are ready to punch your lights out.
Enjoy.

Ah – In Italian he was Braccio de ferro. When I went to live in Italy in 1975 Popeye was the only show on Italian TV in English. I watched a lot of it:) Great models and I think you more than did justice to them.

Thank you Amalric! :-)

I think I'll buy them.
