"Most wanted "Not" Figures?" Topic

What are your top 5 most wanted miniatures "inspired" by famous people or characters? Off the top of my head, mine are:

Dog the Bounty Hunter
His wife
Samo Hung
Rudy Ray Moore as Dolemite
Kratos from God of War

Don Quixote, standing & on Rozinante (horse)
Sancho Panza, standing & on mule
Aldonza, Dulcinea

Rifleman from TV series
2nd on Don Quixote

The SEAL team from Tears of the Sun

Steppe Nomad mounted Shaman/Priest. Oh yah!

Bring back Stargate
All of the aliens from Defiance
The aliens from Falling Skies
Killjoys

Second on Seal team from Tears of the Sun

Enough different Ewoks in one scale (28mm) to make a squad.
The Marvel "Warriors Three" from Tales of Asgard (and not the subdued movie versions.) Possibly a matching Thor figure.
From Doc Smith's Lensman books, the L2's--Worsel, Trigonsee, Nadrek of Palain VII, Kinnison of Tellus and Clarissa McDougal, the Red Lenswoman. And Van Buskirk with his Dutch Valerians with space axes.
From CL Moore, Jirel of Joiry, Northwest Smith and Yarol
From Leigh Brackett, John Eric Stark, dressed for the Martian Drylands--and the Drylanders themselves, with pipers and caravans and women riding like queens.
All 28mm, of course. But in 1/72 a small detachment of the French Foreign Legion with Buster Crabbe as Captain Gallant.

ZuluPaul,

These may be what you're not looking for.

The only thing I want at the moment is Samus Aran in her Varia/Gravity suit. Her original suit would be nice as well.

I think Captain Gallant FFL were made in 1/72 scale. I have about 40 to 50 of them.

Thanks.

Still hoping someone *cough* Knuckleduster *cough* will come out with 'not' Brisco County and gang in 28mm.

From the Angry Piper's list, Samo Hung and Dolemite (didn't even know I wanted them till I saw his list…). But then I'd also want Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun Fat too, unless there's a source I don't know about. And Dolemite needs his Hamburger Pimp!

I'd like to see Babylon 5 figs, ideally in 15mm. I know some are kinda available from Blue Moon, but I'd like something requiring less squinting to make it so.

6mm vehicles based on the ancient Battle Isle computer games.

15mm figures for everything in the Destiny video game.

Baron Münchhausen, on foot and mounted on Bucephalus, in 54mm.

Star Trek TOS minis in 25mm, especially aliens other Klingons. Romulans, Andorians, and Vulcans (beyond one of two poses) are hard to find!

STNG minis in 25mm are almost entirely absent.

Mind you, I don't do Western Gunfight, so a list would be cheating. But it would be a very long list, and there would be duplicates--at least two Wyatt Earps, two Bat Mastersons and two Doc Holidays, just to start.

Queen La of Opar, as Russ Manning drew her in the comics.

Xena, Warrior Princess (once one was being made, but now…?)

"Colonel Anne" Mackintosh (the Jacobite rebellion of 1745)

British WWII Commandos in battledress with kilt, as worn on the St. Nazaire raid by many of No. 2 Commando.

Hippies from the 1960s.

W.C. Fields (I have converted one from a gangster range)

Willy Wonka (ditto, converted from a Victorian civilian)

Oompah-Loompahs!

The Wicked Witch of the West's "Winkie" guardsmen.

The Beatles, in various periods and looks.

Tarzan's loyal Waziri (altho' Masai in full regalia make adequate substitutes)

I'm sure I will think of others soon. Once I would have added Ned Kelly and his outlaw gang to this list, but now he's been done!

Krull, with the hand-scythe thingy
Harlem Globetrotters, to go with the Hasslefree not-Scoobies
Space 1999 (? Or are there these?)
Logan's Run sandmen and runners
Spaceballs

Pulp characters like Indy, along with villains and their henchmen, in 54mm. To me the genre is made for that scale, or the scale for that genre, but except for some gangsters there isn't a lot out there. I suppose I should be thankful – it's saved me a good deal of money!

"The 13th Warrior" figures.

Stargate Atlantis main crew and Wraith baddies. I've wanted those for a long time.

Didn't we just do this?

Did we? I must have missed it.

I'm with Gone Fishing on this one. More Pulp in 54mm has long been my lament. Gone Fishing, if you haven't already please feel free to check out my blog link It has a lot of 54mm scale goodness. It seems we have a bit in common.
Cheers

Piper909…I do believe those Winkies are coming…in the Fall IIRC.

I thought Eureka does 13th Warrior figs…

I'm still not happy with the not-Jake Cutter options out there. Either they've got the wrong hat or the wrong jacket or both. And my modeling skills stink, so I'm not really into the whole "head swap" thing. In either 28mm or 1/72 (to go with my 1/72 Goose).

And the only not-Jack I've ever seen isn't a Jack Russell terrier, even a short-haired dog. If you can't do a Jack Russell, do a beagle. Or say that's what it is when the lawyers call. (Can someone really own the IP on a specific dog-breed in an eye-patch?)

As for SG:A not-Wraiths, any long-haired elf/Barbarian/goth type figs might stand in for those (great show-- we're rewatching it this month-- but the Wraith have got to be the lamest, most ludicrous science fiction alien race ever put on television. Space vampires who feed through their hands? And dress and look like punk D&D drow? *eye roll* But somehow the series made it work…)

And I don't care if they're "not" anything, but I still want my 10mm dwarf archers (with *bows*) for my LotR/Hobbit Warmaster gaming.

Salty, it tickles me no end to see you post here. I was just ogling at your blog the other day, and while I've wanted such figures for a good long while, I'm sure that seeing your photos had it especially in my thoughts. You're doing some incredible work there!

First thing I thought is "What if he lives in the greater Los Angeles area! Could it be? Ah, Australia." Felt quite crushed. Perhaps I can stow away on a tramp steamer one of these days.

FYI My current project is 54mm Wild West. The two eras bear some similarities, I think, but unlike Pulp, there's a good deal of great stuff for WW in the scale.

Keep up the great work!

Parzifal: Jake and Jack just missed my list…I'm watching Tales of the Gold Monkey right now (got the DVD set for Christmas). It was a fun show. Someone (cough…Bob Murch…cough) should do a set with Jake, Jack, Corky, Sarah and Bon Chance Louie. Get a Grumman Goose in 1/48th and you're good to go!

Then, of course, he'd have to do Princess Koji, Reverend Willie, Todo and some samurai. You know…just for the opposition!

Marvin the Martian with a range of weapons (enough for a Hordes of the Thngs army).

Chayton Littlestone from the HBO series Banshee
Tyr Anasazi from Andromeda
Brisco County Jr – great call Tommy20
Damien Scott and Michael Stonebridge from Strikeback
President Camacho from Idiocracy

Non-specific aliens (ex: SG: A Wraiths) should be in separate category/poll IMO.

Pulp Fiction.

Terrement, The TV originals of all three--O'bBrien, Barry and there was a recurring Doc Holiday (Douglas Fowley) on Wyatt Earp, and the whole crew in the Tombstone black coats, and maybe tossing in Dennis Quaid from Wyatt (OK, that gives me three: sue me.)

Actually, I want the buildings, too: Warner Brothers' Laramie Street for a cow town, and Old Tucson for the Adobe of the southwest. The Big City would be taken from the old 40 Acre Lot which was GWTS's Atlanta, Jim Bowie and Yancy Derringer's New Orleans--and an alien planet in some Classic Trek. Wouldn't mind adding their "Arab Village" set to the southwestern adobe, either.

The complete Star Wars series every figure every villain, every henchmen or women,every hero and heroine, ALL in 15mm!

The main cast of Mad Max Fury Road: Max, Furiosa, Nux, the maidens, the motorcycle women, Gas Man, Bullet Farmer, and a corpulent, foul Immortan Joe, with breathing mask (and violently without).

Steve Urkel

Foreign Legion movies had some stock characters I'd like to see: Evil Legion sergeant, sniveling Legion corporal/weasel, disgraced former Guards officer, Russian Giant
Major Beaujolais from the 1920s Beau Geste movies, dashing, and gone a bit native with a djelebbah worn over his uniform.

Mrs. Ethel Grimmond, "the heroine of Maniput."

Tully Bascom

The Galaxy Quest crew (with monsters, aliens, and Thermian allies, of course)

Grelber

Piper909 you might find a warrior princess, or two, at GZGames FMJ-01 and FMJ-02

The crew of the Rocinante from The Expanse: Holden, Naomi, Alex, Amos, Bobbie (in powered armor), Clarisa… and, of course, Miller.

What War Monkey said

Mike

UFO: aliens in space suits, humans in space suits and (of course) ladies in silver suits an purple wigs.

15 and 28mm

John T

The rest of the "Allo, Allo" characters ( I already have a pretty good Not-Rene Artois from Artizan!)

The Tick, Arthur, Die Fledermaus, American Maid, Sewer Urchin and a good smattering of villainy for them to battle!

Thought of some more:

Orion Dancing Girls (aka "Orion Slave Girls")

Jonny Quest and companions, including Jezebel Jade.

Classic comic book superheroes and villains that are NOT Heroclix but sculpted in metal and of high quality, and including characters that HeroClix has not covered.

Spartan hoplites in full armor, Corinthian helmets, and cloaks.

Classic gangster characters from old films, such as those played by Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, George Raft, etc.

General 20th century civilians who once wore identifiable liveries or uniforms, such as mail carriers, milkmen, repairmen, construction workers in hard hats, traffic wardens, deliverymen, medical personnel, fire fighters, telephone line workers, garbagemen, Salvation Army band and solicitors, door-to-door salesmen, Scouts (Boy and Girl), athletes.

Piper,you beat me to Jonny Quest and Jezebel Jade--especially the way Dave Stevens drew her:

Buckaroo Banzai et al.

Yes Eureka makes "the" 13th warrior. I want it all, Viking heroes, witches, caveman cavalry and all the rest.

(from the comic strips) Dick Tracy, Pat Patton, Sam Ketchem, B.O, Plenty, Gravel Gertie, Vitamin Flintheart, Tess Trueheart, Dick Tracy, Jr,(Junior), Flattop, Itchy, the Brow, Breathless Mahoney, etc.

The "Sopranos". Tony, Pussy, Paulie Walnuts , Sal, Christopher, Carmella, Uncle Junior, Dr. Melfi. Little A.J. and Meadow…
