Looking for an Irish Dancer figure
« on: November 28, 2009, 03:59:46 AM »
Anyone know if anybody makes an Irish dancer figure?  I need to get one to modify into a raygun-pulp star ranger, for various hilarious reasons.

Pick a figure from any range  you fancy, place it on the work bench and whack it with the largest hammer you can find.  Scrape it up or dig it out of your bench and you will have.......................(wait for it)............. ......................... MICHAEL FLATLY!

Absolutely no ideas I'm afraid, but do you want a male or a female figure? It might help with the suggestions...

Specifically I need a female 28mm figure, to commemorate Audrey's dealing nothing but very precise leg-wounds in yesterday's Fantastic Worlds game.

Much less to do with flying cats and much more to do with her propensity to roll far more 8-10s on any D10 she picks up than anything else, thus corresponding to the LEGS hit location in FW.

Delightful. Tell me, do you do children's parties to? :)

So yeah.  Anyone know where I might find a figure of this sort?  I've seen one once, but I really don't remember where it might have been.

As bizarre and unhealthy as it may seem, I have a possibility not involving large heavy objects.

Eureka Miniatures produces a figure that rides a penny farthing. Admittedly it is a male figure but it's dressed in Victorian carny (in other words fairly anonymous).

The position of the pedalling legs and the folded arms makes it almost perfect to represent an Irish dancer.

It is so humiliating to know this thing. Thalidomide dancing is one step below the inanity of Morris dancing.

Another option would be a celtic or other ancient figure, shirtless and running forward on one leg.  It would be simple to bend the metal so the miniature would be standing up straight.  Only issue, I can't find one..  :-I
