20th Century Plus
« on: 24 July 2006, 11:37:58 PM »
Anybody here who knows Ral Partha's "20th Century Plus" line?
It was a small line of about 30 blisters, produced in '85, all sculpted by Bob Charrette.
Some weeks ago I scored some blisters (simply black/grey printed) with Agents and Terrorists. But they also had some "20's and 30's Adventurers", that could be interesting for Pulp games. Somebody got more information about them? Maybe even pictures (which may be in the '85 catalog on which I got outbid last night, damn!)?
"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"
"Uh, I better look in the manual... This book must be out of date. I don't see "Prussia", "Siam" or "autogyro"...

I am pretty sure these are the same small line of figures that Iron Wind Metals - the Ral Partha successor company - sells dead cheap (50c per figure) at US conventions in a 'dig through these little drawers' sort of way. I've got all the 20s/30s gangster types, and some of the later figures (the near future that is 1995, perhaps?).

They aren't bad at all, although on the small side by current standards. Little Italian guys, or Boston Irish mobsters perhaps. Worth a look if you can get them!
