Does anyone know of figures that are prisoners – preferably Elves or humans and the realistic type not the squat type with overly large heads.

the plastic line of D&D had a nice prisoner with his hands bound, I don't remember which set though

Eureka Miniatures has some great packs of African captives, which might or might do for your purposes: link and link You might be able to do headswaps with, for example auction to do elves.

Irregular P24 Captive in Chains in the 28mm Personality range is a possibility – there is a photo half way down the page

John
thanks for the tip but I cannot find the figure you are describing. When I click on the link I see a viking type warrior and get nothing else on that page. I found the catalog listing for it but no picture.

My good old mouse died yesterday and I am now using a magic track pad and absolutely hate it and it takes five times as long for me to find anything.

Jeff – some of those male African prisoners have possibilities…. do you know if the heads come attached or are separate?

Brother Vinni has some female prisoners

Ral Partha used to have some prisoners but they may be OOP?

There's a Ral Partha kit that has a wooden cage with a female prisoner inside. One version comes with some sort of monster captor and the other without.

Try Bob Murch's Pulp Figures

Pulp needs Damsels in Distress, & Bob's got 'em…

There's also a sacrificial one in this assortment:

Bottom left corner, she's a great lookin' exotic figurette in the fle…, err, lead, so to speak, as it were…

Bob's a gentleman and a scholar in addition to his sculpting talents. His products are superb, and full of character.

I'm a VERY satisfied client, nothing more.

Brother Vinni's stuff tempts me, wish he had a US source.

You need to click on "28mm" at the bottom of the home page (which is the link I gave loads), then "personality" on the next page (for some reason I couldn't set up a link to the actual page)…

Thanks to all for these fine tips. I am checking them out and hope to find something useful. You folks are the best!!!!

The fantasy version of warzone by target games had some shackled prisoners in rags under stygians. I think prince august still sells them.

Ral Partha does indeed have a set of slaves:

After going through all these kind recommendations, and I greatly appreciate all of them, the ones which will work the best for me at the Chronopia Stygian Drugged prisoner figures in shackles. If I could get three of them I could work wonders with them. Getting them seems to be the now daunting task but i am working at it.

I am also finding it amusing that for every ten sexy women that you can buy as a prisoner / captive/ torture victim/ flesh obsessive object – there might be one actual male that I can use as an elf. I wonder what that says about the market?

gideon7723 Jan 2014 11:17 a.m. PST

First, I want to thank everyone for the suggestions.

Second, I have decided on some figures barring any last minute suggestions – I have found a company who has two packs (4 to a pack) of the Chronopia drugged and will go with them. The same company also suggested a Malifaux figure – Enslaved Niphilim – which I can use one of. I also went with two of the Brother Vinni figures – woman hanged in arc and woman at pillory. A little modification and they will make great tortured elves.

So again thanks for all the help and if anyone thinks of anything else please post.
