Title: Need Nazi/boxer figure for Indiana Jones Flying Wing battle
Post by: lordsith on May 05, 2010, 01:04:13 AM: Does anyone know of a good figure for the bald Nazi mechanic that Indy battles at the flying wing scene in Raiders, plus a German mechanic and pilot?
I am running a .45 Adventure scenario based on that scene for Origins this year (last year I did the opening scene with the jungle and idol). My playtesters think I need to add those characters and they don't like any of my figures that I currently have.

But I think I see a swastika on the Eagle. Which probably isn't so good for the Prof and his hosting company. ;)

You may find them rather puny in scale though, as they are part of the older, smaller Foundry OW range.
