Available figures of multi-armed Indian Goddesses ??

[chicklewis]

Hi, clever lead adventurers, I'm planning on sending my CoC players on an expedition to the remote foothills of the himalayas in Northern India, and would like to have 2 figures of an Indian Goddess, with 4 or 6 arms, of which I could paint one as a statue, ant the other as something more mobile. Bigger than 28mm is fine, as you cannot really require goddesses to be any particular size.

Could you direct me to good candidates, please?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Otherworld does a Kali. Or was it Crooked Dice? I think the latter, in retrospect.

There is also the one from Hobby Products/Mega Miniatures.

Locally there is a jewellry/nick-nack shop that sometimes sells "Indian" statuettes in suzes ranging from 1" to 9". Perhaps you have similar locally?

Reaper makes a couple that have the typical multiarmed upper body of Kali, but serpentine lower bodies:

they also do metal versions.

Skip the minis manufacturers.  There must be thousands of variations of this subject available as religious statuary, in a wide variety of scales and price points.  Even a quick search on "Kali statue" (to pick just one deity) turns up dozens of possibilities with prices ranging from under $10 to a few hundred and sizes as small as a few inches up to several feet tall.  Bound to be something out there that suits your needs.

Hardest part may be finding one with only 4-6 arms.  Most of the ones I saw run to quite a few more than that.

May I shamelessly recommend The Avatar of Kali from my Sinbad range?

Fixed the code so your link works.  Beautiful sculpt there, and surprisingly cheap.  Looks better than the one in the Harryhausen film, even.

That avatar of Kali is great  I wonder are there Uk stockists ?

That's a nice mini!

Edit:I just checked the website. Is her mini-skirt made out of hands?

Crooked Dice do a "Destroyer" miniature. A big resin guy with four arms....

Should be made of severed arms (and a necklace of heads, not skulls) if you're staying really traditional.  Kali has a weird fashion sense.    Her tongue's not hanging out either, and the mini's facial features are rather a bit more attractive than Kali's normal portrayals.  Still close enough, and a more appealing fig than something truer to the original.

WOW! I wish that mini was out when I was looking for a similar model! It's so good, I might still get it!



This Monster In My Pocket is good after a good paint stripping.

I decided on this mini on the left. Can't remember who it is from...Maybe Mega Minis



Also, check this thing out, I think it's Heroclix or something. Not multi arm, but makes for a good statue.

That's a World Eater figure from WotC's old Dreamblade CMG.  Very, very underrated line of figs if you don't mind repainting soft plastic and dealing with their odd bases.

[chicklewis]

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions.  I ordered the two 'snakey' Reapers and they arrived, but may be difficult to convert, since the arms are floppy soft white plastic. 

The Mega Minis figure is EXACTLY what I want, but Mister Mega Miniatures says he doesn't know who purchased that mold from him.

Anybody know where I can get the bronze-painted four-armed Kali shown above, please?  Anybody have a spare in the 'will maybe never get painted' box?
