Title: Looking for good Indiana Jones and Shorty modeles
Post by: Millmir on December 27, 2010, 09:37:11 PM
Hello!

I´m currently scouting for on models that could be used with the Strange Aeons rules but with a Indiana Jones theme.

I´ve seen the tread for Indiana Jones stand in models and there are some great modeles but was wondering if anybody has a good idea of what I can use for Shorty, Henry Jones Senior, Willie and so on. Ofcourse any other idea is welcome aswell.

The idea for the now is to use Nazis and tribesmen as cultist and Indy and the gang as Investegators.

Pulp figures, Stalwart Companions, may have some useful models.

I have this horrorclix figure, the two models can be separated and the kid is a perfect model for a young sidekick:

Bailey & Jameson #030 Freakshow HorrorClix

I'm sure there'll be some other suggestions.

Hope that helps.

There's also this Indy (https://cipher-studios.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_23_26&products_id=378&zenid=05959ee417d2097ebfcde8957cd9dfb4) from Darkson. Problem is, you have to wait for a convention,  during which it becomes available again...

The Indy that Hauptgefreiter mentions is available.  You just have to ask for it.

There is the old TSR ones from the Indy box set.  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/tsr/images/5373.jpg But these ARE 25mm...

Also the Indy and friends from the old WEG Master system... http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/west-end-games/images/47001.jpg He is a bit thin, but is very detailed. You REALLY have to look around for him...

I like the Artizan Indy, I added a whip to mine and it looks great. The sidekicks are a little harder. Pulp Figures from Bob Murch is probably your best bet.

Thanks guys, alot of great input.

I have done the artizan one myself but I sorta think he looks like Indy+50 pounds  lol
THe TSR ones are good and the reaper aswell...Any idea on the cost on the TSR (and what is it short for)?

Millmir;
I have several of the TSR Indiana Jones sets...unopened and still sealed. Unfortunately, the box does not say what TSR stands for. If you are interested, send me a message through here. I checked on eBay and they want at least $49.99 and up for them plus shipping and handling. They are very hard to come by now as they are out of production.
Regards,
Hitman

Or did a long time ago, anyway. Wizards of the Coast bought out TSR in 1997. TSR hasn't been involved since Second Edition. Just to clarify.

I didn't even know TSR had done Indy figures for the old RPG!

Nice set of figures covering the first two films - probably a bit small next to today's stuff! Be fun to paint though.

Mind you bet they cost a fortune if they ever turn up on e-bay!

I have Copplestone's "not Indy" and is WONDERFUL.

I didn't mentioned him, because I thought Millmir was asking for Indy's COMPANIONS.

Anyhow, bear in mind Copplestone's "not Indy" is 28mm to the eyes, and so looks a little small for the new OVERSIZED 28mm (some of them being 30-32mm actually).

Hope that helps.

You might find something in Hasslefree:
http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=62 (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=62)

Particularly Peter, he's armed with a crowbar. They had crowbars back then, didn't they?
Otherwise most are more contemporary.

I'd go with Pulp figures too but there is a nice one in the Gangland section that could work

There is also a Blue moon pack that could be useful:
http://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/view_product.php?product=PC-07

The whole range is worth checking:

The Blue moon figures I have are a bit small-headed for my taste, though...
