The Addams Family: I Need Some Help
« on: June 07, 2022, 12:53:21 AM »
This meme wandered across my FaceBook feed and I thought "Aha! My new Pulp Alley league!"

But I am crap with the Pulp Alley rules and have no idea where to start for miniatures. So I respectfully ask the hivemind here for some help in both statting up the Addams Family for Pulp Alley and some suggestions for finding appropriate miniatures.

Hi! I'm Harry. I am a hobby addict; I game sci-fi, fantasy, and historical (including Ancients, Dark Ages, Renaissance, and World War II Manchukuo.)

Never played Pulp Alley so can't be of any practical assistance to you but I really like your idea, actually pretty clever. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this one.

It will take a lot of hunting and clever google-fu, but you might be able to scrounge up the cast, but I'm not aware of any one-stop shopping for it.  Likely, a bit of green putty hair-dos will be required once you find a figure that otherwise fits.
 
For starters, Westwind's Vampire Wars — they have a European Vampire Hunter with sword and mustache, with some hair work could do well for Gomez.  Reaper has a female vampire in a Morticia type dress.
 
You might find other characters on Reaper.  Their search engine is pretty good if you keep plugging away trying different key words.  I usually have pretty good luck once I find a Reaper mini on their site, then going to EBay to buy.
 
Good hunting!

I just so happened to run across a Not Gomez and Morticia figures on the Black Site Studios website under their Horror line, so there's a start for you.

Cousin Itt would be a very simple exercise in green stuff no?

Hadn't seen that company before.  Ahh drat, 32mm.  (But very glad they post the actual height to eye rather than listing as 28!)

Take a look at Pulpfigures.com. I’m sure you can find some usable figures among Bob Murch’s ranges.

Northstar Triumph of Frankenstein.   Tiny work and the monster would make a great Lurch.

Chaos in Cairo - Well given the Mummy theme
Fistful of Lead - Versatile and adaptive
Pulp Alley - Well supported by YouTube Channel - these rules for many replaced .45 Adventure

Miniatures wise mummies are available from loads of sources.

I think including living looking Egyptians could be cool see: http://www.darkfableminiatures.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

...wise mummies...

Am I alone in now having a mental image of a stern but kindly matriarch in a fireside rocking chair advising her daughter that her swain is good-looking but not yet financially ready to start supporting a family?

Oh, and Westwind has a very nice assortment of Mummies, Diggers, and Egyptiany Cultists.

Shapeways

3d printed figures and stuff, and they will print custom orders.   Had some UFO/Shado figures custom made in 28mm (10+ bucks each) and some vehicles.
