Title: KKBB keeps expanding
Post by: Hammers on 05 November 2008, 12:34:52 PM
Maybe this has been commented on already. I just noticed that the KKBB range @ Copplestone has grown with a considerable amount of interior detail. There are a set of nice bank counter and vaults which would make for a quite nice indoors scenario for Geezers

I have seen that already.

An idea that drops me in my mind, is that they can be used in a pulp setting, like a bank, a post office, or even the door of the vault could be used for the entrance to a compatment with weird science reasearch!

Absolutely!

And the control room stuff can be used in Retro Sci-Fi bases and spaceships  :D

I'm thinking of the bank scene at the start of The Dark Knight.
Wonder how you could turn it into a scenario.

Ahh well, guess I'll have to watch it AGAIN.  ;) :D

Just to think that last night I finish the base on my last KKBB figure, I had the whole range painted up.  But no, my FLGS just informed me today that they got the latest shipment in.  Now I have the KGB and Rogue Agents to pick up and paint.  Just as I was done painting all the available figures.  :-[

One thing my FLGS can't do is get the doors, so I placed my second order in two weeks for some doors from Copplestone.  I got my first shipment in this weekend and spend the last few days building the first floor of an underground bunker for the Evil Genius.  >:D  The better half is going to Hawaii for a long weekend, so I will be home alone this weekend and my plan is to paint up the bunkers first floor as well as all the furniture and fixtures to go with it.

That interior stuff is really good, and seems that it could be quite versatile.

It would be a splendid sight to behold though. ;D

Camp Dave has a desire to do Geezers in the USA, using all the wonderful figures that are out there. He will love this Shaft figure.

I told him his new name by the way. He wasn't impressed but all our mates thought it most appropriate lol :D

I remember Shaft from my early teen years, I even liked the song, the film forget it. not in my taste. But since I do not recognise the other models, can abyone identify them?

Consensus on Frothers seems to be that the girl is Pam Grier in one of her many blaxploitation guises (Foxy Brown, probably), but the middle guy is more problematic.

It's been suggested as a generic Black Panther type, a young Samuel L. Jackson, or even Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch (my opinion). Your guess is as good as mine though.

I agree with you on Pam Grier, my vote on the middle one is Black Panther?

the middle guy is going to be painted up as my 1950s Cthulhu character - a shotgun-toting beatnik... ahh... memories...

I do believe that's supposed to be Stokely Carmichael.  He was quite a legend, even when the Black Panthers tried to have him killed.  He was quite famous around here for a time.
