Title: Looking for a Boomer type figure.
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 23, 2020, 09:30:26 PM

As in the picture. I’ve got the GZG ones are they are too small unfortunately. Preferably it/they would be around 35-40 tall. Not looking for stls.

Thanks in advance  :)

It might be worth checking out some of the Warzone Cybertronic stuff or Void 1.1 Syntha as several may have some of the elements you're looking for.

I picked up these figures from the Works, pre lock-down.
They were on sale, only £1 each, which is why I bought them.
Is that more what you wanted?

I'm not exactly sure what a Boomer is in this context, but this figure from Infinity has a similar look to the image you posted.
Height just about 35mm (just under 40 including the base)

Thanks for the suggestions  :)

A boomer is a cyborg/construct type of thing from The Bubblegum Crisis anime.

The GZG ones are 25mm, it was a thing back then.

It might be worth having a look at Mantic's Asterions.

There was a kickstarter a while back with perhaps the most famous boomer type figure in 28mm...

These are big, cheap and with a small amount of conversion, would work quite well :) :
