Sources for generic 54mm plastic civies? I'm thinking of generic types, with and without weapons, to supplement many periods (especially Boxer Rebellion) Haven't actually seen the Americana/BMC "Union Prisoners" figures from their Andersonville playset (what a lovely idea, BTW, I'm sure a SS Death Camp set is on the drawing boards as well?) but if they are at all accurate, they could be any poeriod ragged or casually clothed civies, maybe? |

Maybe some Barszo figures? I am at work so I can't look around for you. Matthew |

I'm gonna check them out now, thanks. The AIP Boers are perfect for armed civies. Saw some New Ray and ESCI/ERTL farm figures that are promising as well |

Irregular makes some in various ranges. There are also Marx recasts, but they are mostly Old West type figures. Del Prado makes some 60mm Chinese: link Replicants has a few pieces worth looking at as well. |

Thanks, 79th! Those are nice! But premium figures for sure. I'm trying to get ahold of lower price and medium price figures for playsets. (AIP is definately the ceiling, at $15 USD for 20 figs) that I consider. ;) |

marx recasts have a lot to offer! I just found a Mamie Eisehower in 54mm that woiuld be a pervfect generic woman. |

Preiser has plenty of 1/32 figures including Adam & Eve sets (sans clothes). Not sure if these guys have all of them: link |

If you're willing to go 60mm (and convert them/shrink them), MPC ringhand civilians go for cheap. You mentioned New Ray, and their figures would be good to look into. Americana's Union prisoners are pretty limited. I think there are maybe 4 poses, and only one or two would be useful. |
