Or, any, for that matter. ;-)

I can't be the only one who feels this way. There are so many good, pulpy sci-fi games out there (Retro Raygun, Counterblast, Future Tales), but no 15mm minis to support them. We're drowning in beautiful 28-32mm retro sci-fi minis, but we 15mm junkies go hungry….

How about a little 15mm love? Just a little? Please? ;-)

These guys look kinda the type, don't they?

Dan,

Thanks. More the pulpy Buck Rogers skin suits and bubble helmets.

Although, I've had my eye on the Blue Moon miniatures for quite a while…. ;-)

Regards,

Scott Chisholm

I'm guessing he's referring to the latter, though at first I was going to point out GZG's Moongrunt line, which is more like 1960s astronauts at war. link

The problem with 15mm retro sci-fi is that I'd buy 15mm retro sci-fi (and I have 28mm retro sci-fi already!).

These guys remind me of many of the old Twilight Zone astronauts:

I'd never seen this character before:

Wow, brings back memories. As a little kiddum I had a bag of astronauts that were 2" or 2-1/2" tall. There were three colors, red, white and blue. I had a metal rocket bank, an SR-71 Blackbird, and some other space looking toys that I used to fight all sorts of space battles.

Agree that the bubble helmets would find many a good home.

RAFM make some for 15mm.

Love those Orion troopers. Wish there were more poses of them.

Clear, plastic bubbles for 15mm – 32mm figs would be appreciated as well.

Bombshell minis do have Bubble domes. Both small circular and tall dome 8mm and 10mm

Sadly just not for the figures I ant to put them on
(possibly due to their over sized brains)

Mako 11,

What make & code is the 1st mini in your 2nd pic, please ?
The one with the slitted helmet on the left of the RAFM minis.

Thanks
Z
