Dr. Phibes?
« on: 25 July 2011, 02:18:56 AM »
Does anyone make a 28mm Dr. Phibes-ish miniature? I mean with his Vincent Price mask removed... mummy/skull headed fellow... preferably in evening wear or a surgical gown.
I've had a look 'round and haven't spotted much of anything. I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to convert one...

I love the Phibes films!

They might be a little early but you could consider the Ripper in evening dress by Foundry as a basis for conversion:



RAFM have a surgeon in their CoC range:

Personally I'd look for a zombie with a suitable head to swap, or look at West Wind's seperate zombie heads
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

Thanks... I figured it probably be a job for a head swap.
Shouldn't be too hard... I'm thinking of finding a 'mask on' head as well as the skull-faced one and getting several duplicate bodies... so there can be a moment of 'surprise!'

Pulp Figures does a Vincent Price in a lab coat:

Only available as part of the pack, I think, but might be a place to start.

Oh! Very nice stuff... and 'The Creeping Claw' in that set would make a good Phibes Incognito figure.
Thanks!

No problem.  :)

Also, thinking about it, if you are wanting single figures for conversions, Hasslefree's Professor Beattie would make a good basis for headswaps:

Swap it for a West Wind zombie head like Onebigriver suggested and you're golden.  :)
