So, a while back when my little role playing group left AD&D 3.5 behind and found the joys of combining wikipedia research with Steve Jackson Games’ GURPs we found we were stuck with a problem.
While we were overflowing with miniatures of orcs and wizards and warriors, we were stuck for anything that resembled our new playing genres. Our 1920s horror campaign, our interest in gaming across 18th century Europe or pre-WWII Africa was always let down by our lack of decent 25mm pieces of crafted lead that simply wanted us to imagine fantasy.
That was until we found Pulp Figures. (Ok, when I say we, it was actually our most obsessive RPer - Toby).
Pulp Figures is a small miniatures catalog of extraodinary quality by Bob Murch.
Bob creates figures that fit the pulp genres beautifully. They are larger than life and often comical. Bob cut his teeth in the right places too. He designed the GAMA Award winning Call of Cthulhu range of minatures for Chaosium. These figures are much more general and not so Deep One focused and will fit with any campaign you may imagine - or could inspire one.
Bob’s range of “Rocket Men” inspired a 1930s Rocketeers campaign that was linked to the Hindenburg’s final flight, complete with half-insect/half-Nazi bad guys.
Even if you haven’t left fantasy behind, these miniatures are a must for any collector. The quality is evident in the gallery at the Pulp Figures.com.
