Artizan Design Thrilling Tales Preview

[PeteMurray]

The word has connotations of a slight degree of eccentricity.

Well, there's some fine Anglo-Saxon understatement for you!  :: The boffins were mad, entirely mad, and the stereotypical boffin of literature is the kind of fellow who can do six-factor integrals in his head, but can't remember to wear socks.

More boffins:

Geoffrey Pyke
Barnes Wallis

Alan Turing is another classical boffin, and if you've read "Cryptonomicon" then Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse might count, except he's disqualified on the grounds of being American.

[Grimm]

Dam !!! they are cool !!
I must have them AGGGH I get a 50€ packet from Atizan two day ago but it seems that I have to order once again  :ro

[W.B.Kurgan]

After we've released some WWII & Plains Infantry packs late next week we'll be releasing a new batch of Thrilling Tales (I have no idea what they are though, but Mike tells me to expect another 9 or so)

Dylan

I'd wait a week then Grimm - or you'll have another AGGGH I suspect!  ::

[Grimm]

I must wait a week or my girl will kick my butt  :wink:

But I will order more then  :wink:

[Argonor]

And some brownshirt Nazi's?

SA and Allgemeine SS would certainly trigger some serious itching in my fingers.... I like Bob Murch's female SS troopers, but they're really an oddity....

[tabletop]

The chap on the left reminds me of Alan Turing a little actually and his secretary is wearing a great period outfit.

Lovely work from Artizan as usual...I do wish they'd stop torturing me with talk of '9 new Thrilling Tales' figures of unknown provenance though!

[Grif]

Those other figures...any chance of some British spacemen?

[ArtizanDesigns]

British spacemen would indeed be nice :-)
The latest work I've managed to sneak a peek at on Mike's desk  is a mad german scientist ( With a mask covering half his face aka phantom of the opera)
And I think there might be some female french resistance types coming ( Listen carefully, I shall  say this only once...... )

As for the others, they exist only in Mike's mind as yet......

I'll pop in to give you more news as I learn it and I'll try to get early preview pics to you here  within a couple of weeks.

You're good people and good things will happen to you.  

If these appear in time I'll order some at the end of the month.

[ArtizanDesigns]

Now listen carefully, I shall say this only once......

Here's a preview shot of a resistance figure Mike has made.  
We're a bit behind with our next pulp release so they wont be out for a good few weeks yet sorry.  (  There's a nice mad scientist with a metal faceplate over one side of his face too but it's tooo early to take a photo yet)

[revford]

Fantastic!  That's exactly what I've been after.  :-}=

I was going to order a few more Thrilling Tales bits next week, but now I know to hang on just a little longer.

[Grimm]

   :love:    that says everything

[Ray Earle]

Dylan, Do you think Mike may make a couple of male resistance fighters to go along with the ladies?  

[Rhoderic]

Dylan, Do you think Mike may make a couple of male resistance fighters to go along with the ladies?  

One of those had better be an old man disguised as an onion seller (or was it garlic seller?)  

[ArtizanDesigns]

I hope he does - lots of potential for stereotypical beret wearing/ cigarette smoking frenchies with onions etc :-)

And I would love to see a fat bar owner too come to think of it. old BBC sitcoms have so much potential dont they ;-)  (   Aint half hot mum maybe ?)

All ideas welcome as usual guys.
