28 mm Polynesians?
« on: March 24, 2024, 07:15:46 PM »


Looking to match Pulp Figures Volcano Queen as above in size and styling - to the degree possible.

Not really sold on the Melanesians in the range.  Nice figure but not fitting my thoughts.

Thanks!

There are a few ranges of Maoris about: Empress Miniatures, Eureka and Wargames Atlantic come to mind. Eureka do some Hawaiians, too. Unfortunately I'm not too sure about how they all might line up style and size-wise, and a lot of the Maoris have guns, which you might not want.


Of course Pulp does make some rank-and-file troops designed to go with that set you indicated who would certainly be compatible, but they are clearly Melanesian, rather than Polynesian. Whether that would be a problem is up to you.

Thanks, Plynkes, will check those out.  Looks like you may have posted as I was editing about the Melanesians.

Looks like Eureka will fit the bill pretty well - I have a figure I now know is from them (used) and work well with Pulp.  I also think the Denisovans will work for me.  Just have to decide to 'jump' on an order.

The Eureka Maori and Hawaiians are pre-contact so no firearms. They should match fairly well with the Empress figures, not all of which have guns IIRC.

I have some of the Eureka Maori figures and they fit pretty well with the Empress height-wise, albeit the Empress are slighter in build. Nice models.
