I'm fairly certain that at least the robots are made by Hydra Miniatures.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

The others look like they are from the (now defunct?) Dick Garrison range of retro-scifi.

Yep. I’m kicking myself that I never bought any while they were available.

Thanks for that my dear Baron. I'm a bit sad now because I want some figures like that... kind of Dan Dare Pilot of the Future meets Flash Gordon meets Mars Attacks!!!
Preferably, available in rainy old Blighty?

I recently got hold of the owners of the Dick Garrison range and bought a few figures - they have limited numbers of some of the range left.

I did ask if they were considering recasting any of the line and whilst they didn't confirm they would, I suspect if enough people showed interest they could be persuaded.

Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

Sounds good my dear Doctor. Starship Commander Faversham has just gleaned two squads of these chaps to crew his spaceship on their quest to become Galactic Heroes!!!

SuperFigs shark troopers:

Actually, there are quite a lot of the SuperFigs range that could easily be inserted into Retro Sci/fi games!

Also, the Blue Moon "Aliens and Spacemen" range is great, particularly the Heavy Weapons Crew and Alien Supreme Commanders located on page 3.

Crikies! I must have seen only the wrong Counterblast figs; some are sweet pulp goodness!

Still crossing fingers that Scheltrum becomes easier to contact.
