Pulp Figures Melanesians

[Plynkes]

Just to help anyone out who may have been staring out the window at the girls playing netball when they should have been paying attention in Geography...

Melanesia...


Melanesian Warrior...




Polynesia...


Polynesian Warrior...




And just for completeness, Micronesia...


And a Micronesian Warrior...



Okay, so I made the last one up. 

[Driscoles]

Thank you Sir 
I`ll pay more attention from now on.
Are there any sculpts available for Micronesians ?
 

 

[Aaron]

I don't know about Micronesians, but Eureka has nice polynesians including war canoes.

[Hammers]

Not that I am aware of but there are Eureka makes Polynesians in the shape of Maoris and Hawaiians. They also do dayaks but they are culturally and racially quite different. (Scheltrum also has a Dayaks in Kayaks range) Tiger M. makes moros from the Philipines/Java but they are a malay people.

I love your sense of humor, Plynkes!

That might be because Rapa Nui is Polynesian, and thousands of miles away from Melanesia. 


(That Plynkes can be such a smart-arse sometimes.)

Is Melanesia the same place as Micronesia?

[Lowtardog]

I like these a nice take on the Papua New Guineans though a little heavy set for that type of people

[Plynkes]

Is Melanesia the same place as Micronesia?

Pay attention at the back there. It's all on the maps provided. And it's quite simple...

Polynesia: Tattoos, sticking your tongue out, Rugby Football, war canoes, Tiki lamps, ukuleles, "Book 'em, Danno", Giant stone heads, mutinous jack tars throwing all the breadfruit trees overboard, your battleships blowing up courtesy of the Mitsubishi corporation.

Melanesia: Kinky Afros, body paint, bones through your nose, ritual warfare, Pidgin English, Cannibalism, Elderly Japanese soldiers who think the war is still on, Nick Nolte having a blue fit because his men haven't captured the hill.

Micronesia: Um, dunno, really. Not as famous as the other two. Apparrently a bit of mix of Polynesian, Melanesian and Filipino cultures. USMC: "Send more Japanese." US bases. Probably Ladyboys.

[Lowtardog]

Tiger miniatures and Old glory produce Moros which would work as Micronesian warriors (philipines)







but there are laso the other indigenous warriors whic the Pulp figures could be used for




Also Bontoc warriors from the Philipines, interesting stuff, these look like Dyaks form Sarawak

[Hammers]

God, Lowtar... You're such a bandwidth hog....

Top contender for post of the month.

And reality matters exactly how in a pulp game, again?

sorry if the link provided contained a little nudity

I'm not saying it does, I was just giving a possible reason why nobody had mentioned Rapa Nui.

Anyway, this is Colonial, not Pulp.
