Title: Cartman figure? (figures finished)
Post by: Geckilian on 12 October 2009, 09:51:03 PM: Hi all. Thanks to Hasslefree miniatures, I've got a Kenny, Kyle and Stan sorted for a game I'm going to run at uni. However, I'm completely stumped on what figure to use as a basis for Cartman. Since the other figures are quite realistic, I'm after an overweight male kid in basic clothing such as a shirt, trousers etc. Preferably 28mm scale, so around 17-19mm to the eyes.

Any idea which companies do a suitable figure? I'm happy to sculpt details and what not, so any base is good. Cheers for the help guys.

I've got him somewhere if you want him...

For Cartman I might even go a little chunkier. Something from the old empire halflings or even bloodbowl.

Maybe not the exact one that I would use, but check out the Cartmanesque belly. Beefcake! PM me if you need one. I may be able to find one in my lead pile.

Post by: Geckilian on 13 October 2009, 09:12:29 PM: Thanks for the offer, though I'll be using the Fatty Bolger figure from the Lord of the Rings range. He's fat and has minimal clothing detail and hair that'd get in the way when making the outfit. Plus Bolger is the right height and matches the scale of Parker, Peter and Palin in the Hasslefree range.

Should anyone have a Fatty Bolger figure they'd not mind parting with, please pm me.

The figures are all from Hasslefree miniatures aside from Cartman, who's from GW. Kenny was unconverted, the rest had some sculpting for clothing to various degrees.

Yeah, that's them. I've not watch that show in ages.

All the weapons of the four brought to mind some of the adventures they had with Jimbo and Ned. Especially that episode with the plague of pink-eye. And where Chef was demonstrating what victims of it did on live TV and he bit the anchor's arm straight off.
