I know there are some really tall ones by Reaper and, possibly, others. However, I am looking for 28mm:

* For Heroic muscle anatomy, this is the only one I know of:

* For Normal muscle (average Joe) anatomy, I cannot think of any!

Are there any others with muscle detail?

For normals, I suggest you go with your previous thread on naked guys with beards:

Beware! Those Bronze Age minis are gorgeous, but BIG. They fit in w/ my 32mm stuff easily, like Cell 1999 minis and Projekt X stuff.

First of all, have you looked the the male/female 'generic figures' Bronze Age Miniatures?

It says 25, but they are really more like 28's from what I've seen and they are 'dynamic' poses…I like them! He also has a series of female versions too…and IF you add/replace some of the faces with the spare Hasslefree male/female human/elf head sprues…all sorts of variety is possible…

Actually, reaper has a 'normal' set of male/female dollies, besides the heroic….
They are:

Compare them with the 'heroic' which are:

Once again…I also recommend the HF 'head sprues' for use with reaper dollies too…and Reaper has other basic shapes if you want other than regular human and Jeff Valent has different sizes of basic armatures for other 'critters' and HF has goblin and orc 'head sprues' too!

I hope this helps some????

What are you using them for? I don't think the Bronze age guy will let you use them for commercial purposes. (which makes them pretty useless-unless you are using them for practice) I know the Ebob guy had some dollies-but they were way small.

Cacique Caribe09 Apr 2006 9:04 p.m. PST

They are for making one-of-a-kind minis of cavemen!

Actually Bronze Age just made there generics 'open':
bronzeagemin.com
So as long you don't copy their generics ('as is') and sell them as yours (or one would think, the conventional figures that BAM makes from their generics), I don't think they'd have a problem…I could be wrong though (how's everyone else reading the stamement?).

Now me, I have both BAM and Reaper, and I gotta say; I've done FAAAAAAAR more with the BAM ones…BAM's bases are a little wide and thick, but a good pair of metal-cutting snips/shears will help there, and then just file (or use a rotary tools grinding/smoothing stone)

I just contacted Bronze age-I was mistaken. They have opened the figures up for commercial sales.

Does anyone sell the reaper dollies in the uk?

Sorry for starting another thread on this topic. When I did my search, I forgot that the title to this one was "Dollies" and not "Armatures".

This is the "Armature" thread I started:

There does seem to be quite a difference in sizes. Thanks.

Yes, always make sure you ask for the actuall measured size before ordering them if the height is important.

Info that I have (feel free to correct and add):
Bronze age: Male nudes: 32-34mm and 54mm, female nudes 30-32mm and 48mm (sole to top of head)
Reaper: Male and female 32mm sole to top of head – not sure of the heroic set. Can somebody measure for me?
Ebob: 28 mm (floor to eyelevel) humans

Bye, Ming-Hua
