Post by: goon3423 on May 18, 2010, 07:37:59 PM: Who makes these guys in 28MM, Mandrake the Magacian, Flash Gordon and The Avenger? Anyone offer a little help?

I'd suspect one of those to be it?

Post by: flooglestreet on May 18, 2010, 09:46:52 PM: The best Flash Gordon on the market is the Buster Gordy figure which comes free when you buy a copy of Fantastic Worlds here http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=34 It is basicly from the Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars and is a heroic 28mm. The serial ran fairly close to Alex Raymonds artwork at least in Crabbes wardrobe. There is Kip Kincaid which is a smaller 25mm figure from Rattrap Productions http://rattrapproductions.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_6
sold as Kip Kincaid and Sarah Litmus. The Rattrap not Flash Gordon is a lot like the Al Williamson version of Flash.

www.wargamessupplydump.co.uk/dick garrison.htm
But those Hydra ones are grand too...

As for Mandrake, I like RAFM's cultist... On the right...
www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02937&Category_Code=COCMM
or Pulp minis... Top, middle...
www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Gangland Justice&code=PGJ&number=13&custID=205225207651274277517

For the Avenger... Middle one
www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02911&Category_Code=COCMPC Just file off the medals on the jacket.

I hope this helps.

Post by: Argonor on May 20, 2010, 11:24:28 AM: Well, a quick swap of head gear, then ;)

IIRC, Mandrake most of the time went about his adventures without wearing his top hat?
