"Annual Wish List for unavailable figures or models" Topic

This for figures or models that nobody currently makes.

28mm Boston Massacre:
The British we see in the Paul Revere print wear an unholy mix of 1768 Warrant uniform and FIW/SYW gear. No packs. His (plagiarized) woodcut could almost be considered a contemporary photo.
Yankee ruffians throwing rocks and brick bats. (What's a brick bat?)

28mm 1775 Boston Garrison Welch Fusiliers wearing fur fusiliers cap. They possibly could have worn them at Bunker Hill.

15mm New Zealand Bob Semple tank.

Feel free to add your own request.

28/32mm Legion size Imperial army troopers. Lots of poses and with command and support weapons
28/32mm sized sci-fi civilians. Everyday folk instead of more bar patrons or society's upper crust. Unarmed civilians.
28/32mm sized civilian vehicles: cars, trucks, speeders, etc

28mm US Marines in winter parkas for Korean war
28mm late war US Infantry in Flak Vests for Korean war

I agree with Myxemail on Civilians, in 28mm, I would like some folk just walking, looking in shops, proper modern waiters/waitresses and the like.

John, a "brick bat" is just a piece of a brick, normally what is broken off when sizing bricks to match in a wall. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brickbat

I have a small pile of them in my back yard.

Jim

15mm victorian civilians, troops in home service dress, household staff.

Colin

Ah. Thanks, Jim!

28mm vehicle crews neutral enough to be used for mercs and 3rd world countries from the 60s to 90s. Jeeps, trucks, afv.

28mm Napoleonic Sapper as a single figure to buy. There are some French and British but AFAIK there are no Spanish, Portuguese, Nassauers, various German states etc.

15mm Napoleonic – Queen Louise of Prussia reviewing the troops.

@Iron Duke-Parkfield Miniatures have marching sappers for Spanish and Polish infantry.

John, a "brick bat" is just a piece of a brick …

Thanks. For most of my life, I'd assumed that it was a bricklayer's tool, and imaged a baseball-bat sized piece of wood used for adjusting the position of bricks in a wall.

28mm Comanche "Iron Jacket".
I would only need one. 🙄

28mm Klansmen. real 'Birth of a nation' type stuff. I see a Call of Cthulhu scenario in the deep 1920's south.

15mm Jayhawkers und Bushwhackers

28mm Ichi the Blind Swordswoman, as depicted by the delightful Haruka Ayase. There was a possible contender in a long OOP Test of Honour box, but I snoozed and I lost.

John, I could print you a Semple in 15mm.

Trojan cavalry – aka 'Trojan Horse'.

(in 20mm, please)

"Brickbat" – not to be confused with a "slapstick".

10mm baggage train, circa 1570's Japan.

Command sets for the various shako & tricorne RISK figure sets. Also light cav for tricorne and heavy cav for shako.

1/72 plastic Mexican bandits (useful for Fistful of Dollars/Pancho Villa scenarios…)

54mm plastic Battlin' Bastards of Bataan / Wake Island Defenders.

"28mm Klansmen. real 'Birth of a nation' type stuff. I see a Call of Cthulhu scenario in the deep 1920's south."

While 1/3 of me wants to say "WTH!?!", the second 1/3 of me says "Order the "Evil Hooded Minions" figures from Pulp Figures and paint them white", and the third part of the 1/3 says "Why the South?" Check your history at the history of the Klan in Indiana and how close they came to taking over the state until Madge made her deathbed confession and brought the whole stinking rotten thing down.
Not everyone that wore hoods and robes were in the South.

* Additional normal 1920's-1930's gangster era civilians/townsfolks. Normal joe blows walking down the street, talking to one another, reading a paper, etc.

* Additional 18th century townsfolks doing essentially the same thing.

* An 18th century military band.

* 28mm Ducks and Pelicans.

In 25/28mm:

Edwardian fops in blazers and boaters
Southern belles a la Gone With the Wind
La of Opar (after artist Russ Manning)
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (after the TV series)
Amazon cavalry on zebras
Drow with cloaks, mail, and crossbows (male or female)
Pumpkin-headed bugbears (old school D&D, qv. "Jackobears")
Irish Volunteers in uniform (1916)
A thorough range for King Phillip's War

And in 54mm or 77mm: Swiss Guardsman in ceremonial rig

Back later with others that didn't come to mind immediately!

An 18th century military band.

Try Eureka.

John, Those are really sweet! Thanks for the intel.

RE southern ladies.

I believe Old Glory has a civilian set in their ACW line.

I would like to see Imperial Japanese troops for the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877. The Boxer War figures are in a slightly different uniform.

I'd also like to see Inter-War Japanese troops that fought with the Mad Baron of Mongolia just after WWI.

I couldn't locate any 25mm ACW Civilians on Old Glory's website, alas!

Wait -- there they are! link -- the Search feature didn't work at all but I patiently scrolled thru all the ACW listings and found a set of noncombatants. Hmmm… not exactly GWTW Scarlett O'Hara's, but I'll consider these.

Glad you were able to find them.

In the South, there was a Highland Regiment that had a mounted company. The 73rd?
Yes. I want mounted Highlanders in 28mm. I don't think I'll need pipers or flag bearers, though.

Hippies!! Sixties Flower Power Love-In minis.

I finally remembered how badly I want these for a light-hearted minis game I'd like to craft about Cops vs. Hippies in the Swingin' Sixties. The hippies want to occupy downtown and the university campus in protest against The man; the police want to bust heads and arrest those dirty commie hippies!

Police minis are easy to find, but classic hippies? Not a prayer, and I only have so much patience or skill for conversions.

Also Plus: a jazz bagpiper a la Rufus Harley (to join my period jazz band); and a fat nerd figure for "Ricky" from "Better Off Dead."

If hippies succeed in putting flowers down the barrels of cops or National Guard, the weapons are automatically rendered useless. 👍

Try "Tedious Hippie Scum" from Badger Games.

Boy Howdy! Those are a GREAT start! Thanks, OFM! Dang, they are currently out of stock… but I'm bookmarking the catalog page. I'll check back later and pester the store about these.

Many of these could be modified a little to add variety, too. Add a few revamped American Indians, some other civilians from here and there, a few converted medieval rural peasant types (Slavs, gypsies), I could well put a hippie horde together in time.
