Thanks for the linkage! I really like the second one, some nice pulp sci-fi artwork there.

i always wanted to do a pulp SF game, but haven't found any good miniatures for that. And I don't like Flash Gordon...it is just not what I have in mind. More like the stuff shown on the pics mentioned above (Perry Rhodan - if anybody knows what I mean)  So far I have only seen one cool mini (somewhere here in the forum - a green)
No Victorian SF, No space marines from the company you should not name...but 40s or 50s SF...

Anybody any ideas for good minis?

How about these from Hydra Miniatures? I kinda like them. Especially the robots.

I thought the Hydra plant-men looked good. Would be great wandering around the manic scientist's lab.
Any idea how to contact Hydra, I couldn't see any clues on the site ?

hm...yeah that is the right direction. But judging from the huge amount of replies it seems that there are not many minis available. Normally when you ask for a mini people come up with lots of companies that do the stuff. In this case it seems that there is actually not much around  :cry:

And yes..Hydra is nice but there are only two minis   :

Thanks anyhow

"In this case it seems that there is actually not much around  :cry:

It is an area that needs addressing, but it looks like over the next few months there are going to be a lot of new choices.

Besides the Hydra miniatures, Rattrap is going to be releasing some miniatures to go with our Fantastic Worlds ruleset being released in November. Plus, the Captain Gamma line is starting to grow. Whether you like Flash Gordon or not, there are a lot of great pulp sci-fi minis in the Dick Garrison line as well.

That is four lines of pulp sci-fi figs. I expect each of them to continue to expand for quite some time.
