He reminds me of the OOP Empire Militia box set from the Evil Empire. Not in appearance, obviously, but sheer versatility. The Militia box could create cultists, pirates, bandits, city guard, house guards, pretty much any kind of "medievalish warrior" of the skirmish variety.
This guy has that same incredible versatility, with a mode of dress that is so non-descript and generic that he could be anyone with the right paint job -- as you've ably shown here.You know what the world really needs? A female version of this model who is equally non-descript and could be anything from housemom to CEO with the right paintjob and head.
You mean this one:
Yes, possibly one that looks like Tatiana Maslany.
I am still looking for a Clark Gregg look a like head for this figure (though a suit and tie version would fit better).
These are brilliant! Wonderfully creative reimaginings of the chap, I presume with the badge scraped off the lapel? That badge is probably what has stopped me going for him in the past - how easy was it to remove?
I do mourn the loss of Crooked Dice's 'everyday folk' miniatures...... I wish I'd bought several of their Killian figures - I altered mine with a pistol, but an unarmed mini is just so much more versatile.
In fact, as well as longing for usefully blandly-dressed poses of both genders, I'd love more unarmed miniatures of the quality that Crooked Dice produce with nice neutral poses like your chap(s) above. It's harder to imagine a weapon off a mini than it is to imagine one on.
I hope he was collateral damage, residing on the same mould and might make a reappearance. You may notice I use one for scale. I have three (base, toaster fighting time traveller with G36, and zombie survivor) but I have a number of plans for additional ones (Twilight 2000 survivor - hint apocalyptic).
With a well posed unarmed miniature it is easier to add a weapon than remove one. The Man From 2000 figure is difficult to arm.
I’ll see what I can do.
