One of the characters in my weekly Pulp Hero game is former circus strong man, and I need a figure for him.
I know about "Otto" (http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Personalities&code=PHP&number=9&custID=8617209941174820559) from Bob Murch's Pulp Figures PHP9 Freakish Flunkies (http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Personalities&code=PHP&number=9&custID=8617209941174820559) pack but Otto looks a bit stupid (Mike the Muscle isn't) and he isn't wearing anything (I'd like the figure to be wearing a least a shirt or something).
So I'm looking for recommendations for figures that might suit. They need to be:
* big and musclely
* normal intelligence looks - no dumb or simple sidekicks please
* clothed
* ideally can be purchased separately, but if it comes in a pack "oh well"
* doesn't have to come from a pulp range but must look pulp
Look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

There's a massive Heroclick of a very bulky muscle-man in an old fashioned weightlifter's costume - I have no idea what his name might be.
And there's a West Wind circus strongman in their Vampire Wars line. he looks impressed with himself, but not stupid.
-
Westwind have one too in the circus of death range

Yes, that's the one.
I painted him for a customer last month. Cartoony, but quite a lot of fun - H

How about Renners form Pulp Figures..? Or is the pose too dynamic?
-
I second the circus strong man suggestion from Westwind. :)
Alternatively have you considered The Doc Savage figure from Bob Murch or one of his sidekicks from the same pack?
-

Don't how I missed that one. Its probably spot on, and the best suggestion so far. Pity its in the Doc Savage pack, because the Doc and Renner are the only good figures - the rest look like clowns. I'll have to ask the player which he prefers.

Have you considered Mr. Tonka from Black Hat Miniatures? I picked him out as my generic brawler/enforcer.
He is from their superhero range so his hands are as big as pot roasts but other than that I think he is pretty cool.

Another thing you could do is decapitate that Hasslefree Narg the Torturer figure and glue on a different head.

how about this guy? (second one)

He's on the list too now. Seeing the player tonight. I'll let everyone know what he chose.

He's the guy I'm making a far-eastern Prize-fighter-extended-hand of some nefarious villain out of for my .45A games :-)) Somehow I also chose to make his trousers green....

Mike the Muscle's player chose this figure as the most appropriate:

The figure is The Siberian (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27_43&products_id=215), a brick figure from West Wind's Superfigs range.
Thanks for all the suggestions folks.

but you know, he's a huge one, ca. 45-50mm

The character's 7 foot or so tall, and I might have to mount the mini on a washer rather than the plastic bases I normally use, so height isn't a big (geddit?) problem.
Let's not hope its 50mm tall though... :cry:
Has anyone got an example they can measure and report back on?
-
yes, i got it, i can measure it today afternoon

i recently purchaded The Siberian during Cold Wars. he is big but i don't think he's 50mm. a "regular" figure - say a Foundry cowboy or Artizan Pul Hero comes up to his chest or so. sorry, i'm at work now and don't have them i front of me to be 100% sure, but if my recent memory serves, that's the measurement i got. think Roger Moore's Bond (6'1") next to Richard Kiel's Jaws (7'2")
now the Perun figure o bought - On jest wielkim chłopcem! a true Slavic God! i need to scare up a large washer for his base.
-
Love the paint job Prof! :D

this pic is EXACTLY why i bought him and Perun!
thanks Professor

He's a giant, one of our players uses him as a super soldier for weird war two games.
I don't have him here, but he is about as big as a LOTR troll in height, but the pose makes him flatter. We were shocked at how big he was when the model arrived.
