Alright, LAF hive mind, the theme this year for Enfilade is Winter War, and I am planning on running a version of the Arctic Rescue from December's Pulp Alley Scenario of the month. What model choices do I have for roughly 30's era?
I know about Bob's Yukon line, but are there others? I know there used to be a post-apoc line of people in full winter gear, but that shut down some time ago.

Copplestone high adventure line has arctic explorers, sleds, huskies, yetis etc.

I've a couple of in progress pictures of some of the arctic stuff that I'll be dropping off , for Sally 4th. At York on 3rd Feb.
Not the greatest pictures but should be enough to see if they have some potential for your game.

Tiger miniatures has the old HLBS line of Mounties and trappers in furs
-
EMP games does some arctic explorers - https://www.empgames.co.uk/collections/age-of-adventure/products/aa114-scott-explorers.
Reaper has a figure, in their Chronoscope range, I believe. They have some Yetis in Bones, which makes them nice and cheap :D
Westwind do some figures as well - https://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=118

Totally forgot lol
Follies range at 1st Corps miniatures

There's a few among the Artizan pulp figures which are more heavily dressed as well.

Excellent. Thank you all - I may just go with Bob's sculpts (I have a distinct soft spot for Murch's sculpts. He sculpts the way I want to paint - good detail, sharp indents where they need to be, and not an overabundance of excess foo.)
When are those sculpts going to be available, Tin Shed?

I agree; they're most becoming: https://pulpfigures.com/products/category/9

Copplestone high adventure line has arctic explorers, sleds, huskies, yetis etc.
And besides that, Copplestone Bolsheviks include that pack of 10 Siberian Rifles in tall fur hats, perfect for 2 gangs of riflemen for Pulp Alley. Also those Bolshevik Heroines are great. And the Copplestone pilots are dressed for the Arctic.

If you are going with Pulp Figures, these are nice.
PHP 16 - Courageous Mountaineers

Tiger miniatures has a whole range of arctic clad chaps ranging from RCMP in classical uniform and wet/cold gear to canadian army for the intervention against bolsheviks.

I think the Pulp Figures stuff is a great choice!
If you are looking for more of a military look, Brigade games also has some nice soldiers in arctic gear.

I'd say Bob's stuff is the way to go. I'm bit of a fan myself. Mind you he's been know to say nice thing's about my toys too :D
This is actually turning into an interesting threads as there's a few things I didn't know about.
I'm quite partial to winter/snow tables ,So I'll add these ideas into the mix , both useful as different transportation to Dog Sleds.Both make appearances on my own table so its not a plug As admittedly They're both by me.
Airboat is a Follies product and the engine has a 'How to' thread floating around on here.

( not in the loop for Sally 4th release dates . Just makes em. ;) )

I have found that Pulp figures & Copplestone mix really well together, Once painted & mounted I can't hardly tell which are which. Very similar in size, heft, and style.
