Annie Norman of Bad Squiddo Games and her ranges of credible females. The Women of the Home Front are an excellent recent example. Take a look :) TMP link |

I'd have to vote Bombdhell Minis; some superb offerings there! |
| KSmyth | 03 Oct 2017 7:58 p.m. PST |
Perry for historicals and Pulp Figures for just plain fun. |

So much innovative work going on! Eureka Miniatures: continues their long-running streak; looking forward to seeing the Maximillian '34 gear. Impact Miniatures with both fantasy football teams and chibi adventurers. Dragon Bait Miniatures: breaking new ground with VSF figures. Brigade Models: upgrading their aeronefs in grand style. Stoessi's Heroes: continues with great character models. |
| Winston Smith | 03 Oct 2017 8:07 p.m. PST |
I like Kings Mountain for the conversion possibilities with the separate heads. |
| boy wundyr x | 03 Oct 2017 8:20 p.m. PST |
I'll throw out Micro World Games for its stretching of the fantasy boundaries for 6mm. |
| Minibeady | 04 Oct 2017 12:10 a.m. PST |
For anyone interested in Ultra-Modern stuff, hands down Special Artisan Services Miniatures. Mainly SF types, with other operators, and a phenomenal line of vehicles that are getting larger every day. |
| Chokidar | 04 Oct 2017 2:14 a.m. PST |
Wargame Exclusive certainly produce some of the best toots – but that was not the question was it!!! |
| John Armatys | 04 Oct 2017 2:19 a.m. PST |
Another vote for Annie of Bad Squiddo. |

If I look at what I have bought in the past two or three years. Perry plastic medievals (Agincourt & WOTR) Spectre moderns Empress for moderns and WW2 |
| corona66 | 04 Oct 2017 4:50 a.m. PST |
Blue Moon Miniatures has created excellent ranges of 15/18 figures with wonderful matching buildings and accessories. |
| johnbear44 | 04 Oct 2017 5:34 a.m. PST |
I second Empress for their new WW2 range. Looking forward to the winter Germans they have coming out. I also want to give shout out to Lon at Brigade Games, his new WW2 Germans and American are pretty ACE as well |

Apparrently people all ahve very different definitions of the term "innovative", because the vast majority of what is being listed here is anything but. |
| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 04 Oct 2017 5:45 a.m. PST |
I would certainly agree about Bad Squiddo, in so far as innovative means going against the, uh, "thrust" of female figure design. |
| Ran The Cid | 04 Oct 2017 6:33 a.m. PST |
victrix – its now possible to build many ancients armies strictly from plastic |
Leon Pendraken  | 04 Oct 2017 8:30 a.m. PST |
I'm not sure if it qualifies as 'innovative' but we've released 1000 new 10mm products over the past 5 years… |
 Bobgnar | 04 Oct 2017 12:27 p.m. PST |
I really like the new Bad Squiddo home front figures, I ordered them, and I hope there are more. However, I must put Bob Murch's Pulp Figures as the company with the most, most innovative figures. His Black Sun range is suburb and innovative in concept when the whole plan is considered. The Crucible Crush Cthulhu range is certainly innovative. Flint and Feather range is excellent for early American wars. |
| Grey Heron | 04 Oct 2017 1:13 p.m. PST |
Steve Barbers 19th century Europe range, Perry Miniatures WW2 desert range, and Pulp Miniatures Black Sun Range. |

| Old Glory | 05 Oct 2017 4:56 p.m. PST |
The key word here is "innovative." Old Glory and others were doing seperate heads 30 years ago. Making a new range is not "innovative" in and of itself. Plastics have been being made since forever -- so I really see nothing that has been "innovative" for many years now?
Perhaps a range of 25/28mm ACW -- HOW about 25/28 mm Vikings???? These have never been done ????? 🤔 Regards

Well, if you mean figures that have never previously been realised in lead, I'd propose Black Pyramid Gaming; interesting and unusual VSF/Steampunk/alternative 19th century odds and ends, and in due course, the 'Outback' range: 'the land down under' in history and mythology (black and white). |
| Chokidar | 06 Oct 2017 2:27 a.m. PST |
I would suggest that Avanpost qualifies for the fineness and elegance of their sculpts and the detail on them. It is surely innovation to take the trend towards anatomical correctness to its next level and add rather than lose detail. The subject (Napoleonics and TYW) is not innovative perhaps – but the execution is. |
| Bad Squiddo Games | 15 Oct 2017 6:01 a.m. PST |
Oh wow, that's made my day! Yay! Off to innovate more! I should vote too – Stoessi is another one to add – Stoessi's Heroes. We're doing very similar things with WW2 – him with men, me with women! Shining a light on actual people. In terms of manufacture, it's got to be GW plastics, they're doing things we can only dream of! |
