Title: Buckaroo Banzai Miniature Hunt - Help
Post by: warrenss2 on 07 November 2009, 02:58:07 AM: I'm looking for some compatible miniatures for representing Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers.

Any recommendations?

Bet him & Doctor Who would have a good adventure together!

Sorry, I can't help you with a mini off the top of my head, but I just saw this a couple of months ago at the 'recommendation' of a friend. Pretty...classic.

Think the guy in the brown at the front right could be a Buckaroo?

Post by: warrenss2 on 09 November 2009, 05:38:42 AM: Saw a picture of one of the more recent Doctor Who miniatures... you know... the one Rose fell in love with... That would make a great Buckaroo Banzai. But, of course, I can't find him now.

Anyone know of whom I'm speaking of?

Post by: Backyardpatrol on 09 November 2009, 03:13:04 PM: I'm not into western figures, but wouldn't a good base figure be a cowboy with six guns?
Or a samurai?
Although the suit Dr.Hugh is wearing is spot on!
