Hi guys. I am trying to find manufacturers of plastic figures. Preferably originals that might be used for wargaming rules system creation and commercialization. Any other ideas or alternatives also welcome. Thanks.

What do you mean by "that might be used for wargaming rules system creation and commercialization"?

Are we looking at SciFi? Fantasy? Historicals? RPG?

There are literally hundreds…

Scale? One piece or multipart?

Also, what size/scale?

Plastic Soldier Review might be a start.

Hi guys, I ll try to be more specific. I am looking for figures 28mm-32mm, one piece, all kinds, SciFi, Fantasy, Historical, RPG.

You are probably looking at game pieces, as they tend to be in 32mm and one piece, mostly fantasy or semi historical. Other than that, you will only find multipart models.

Thanks for the advise guys, sorry, forgot the magic word, I meant companies that do custom work. I approach them with an idea for a mini or a few minis and they can produce them for me from scratch OR perhaps they already have their own non commercialized creations or ideas available.

I'd ask Bill to crosspost this to the "Hobby Industry" board.

I'm not sure if it's quite what you are looking for but you could try Hero forge. You design your miniatures (from a wide range of options they give you) then they will 3D print it for you.

Might try looking around alibaba and other bulk wholesalers based in Asia for something close to what you want…
