Fantastic!  I'm just thinking of all the possible uses I could find for them [apart from the obvious]

That John Carter is superb!   :-*

I've always disliked the 'elf' Martian that everyone else makes, these are a breath of fresh air in that respect. I may even buy a few...
Very nice!

Pretty nice.  I like the ones with the obvious sci-fi elements--such as the breather masks--best.

Lovely , cant wait for these. I actually like the 'Elf type' figures too but my Mars will be populated by different sorts of Martian.

Im pretty sure the John Carter figure you have got is actually Leaut Gulliver from LoEG not John Carter, personaly Im delighted because I was trying to find a figure to adapt for him. Id have to check my copy
to be absolutely sure

John, Martin(?) has come up trumps for you with these. They are gorgeous. I hope you sell bucket loads because you deserve to for trying a different look from the usual Martians. ;D
I like them a lot, now to think of how to bring them into our Venus campaign.  ???Dewbakuk over to you?
