New Pulp Figures Company

I recently saw some fantasy miniatures described as "very pulpy". Huh? If they were wearing trench-coats and fedoras, maybe, but...

Edit: For some reason this picture has been flagged as a terms of use violation. Never had that happen before on Photobucket. So instead here's a nice picture of a tea cup.

I guess Conan must have left his Fedora and trenchcoat at home when he posed for that picture. 

Oh no, I don't mean Conan isn't pulpy! He's very pulpy! Pulp stories covered everything from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

What I -meant-, though, was that the guys being described were run of the mill orcs and goblins, without anything that screamed out "Pulp" genre to me. If they had been somehow "Howard" inspired, maybe, but didn't look particularly pulpy or unique to me.

I'm OK with a more strict definition of Pulp as the genres of cheap magazines of the 1914 to 1945 period, along with early great comic strips like Terry and the Pirates.  However, I can't help but think of HG Wells, Jules Verne, Joseph Conrad, H Ryder Haggard, and some other late Victorian and Edwardian writers as being at least "proto-pulp" because they helped create a demand for the type of stories that launched the Pulp era.  Not sure if Pulp would have happened without these and other pioneers of adventure literature.
