Fantastic - and very nice to see another manufacturer actually paying heed to his audience.

Fellow gamers - we live in the Golden Age of miniature gaming, let's all rejoice!!

So are these historical, pulp, weird war II, or all of the above?

As the title says 1930 I would think they are more to the pulpish side, but building up to WWWII- (There are paraphenalia involved  :D  )

I like most of them. The japanese gasmask heads will be incredibly useful for VSF.

All of the above:) The uniforms are historically accurate and appropriate for the period. Every bit of Toro's gear is historical, with the exception of the kabuki mask.

That would be a noh mask - kabuki theatre used elaborate makeup but never masks. Recovering Theatre Major

Ok, yes. Forgive my misuse of the term. Noh mask.

Can you add a pic of the front view of your Mati-hari female character.  I was considering placing an order and couldn't see the front view on your page.

That is an issue that should be addressed, yes;) I'll put in the -proper- pic this evening. In the meanwhile, there are plenty of pics of her here. and here's a front shot.

Thanks Doc I appreciate it.

I sent you a small order email today too.  I love that evil puppeteer and detective.  The puppeteer reminds me of the Puppetmaster movie. 

I already envision a small army of evil and maliagn toys besetting the benevolent protagonists.

Hell, I'm already considering making a triny sculpt of a Zunni fetish doll too to go with him.  >:D

Steve,

Thanks :o

That's perfect!  Never seen any of those before.  I think I'll be picking one of these up too.

You saved me some sculpting.

Not really my time period of gaming, but I still have to say that the Great Adamski is brilliant!

Thanks, Squirrel. He was inspired by a friend in college. Same guy inspired Tiny Wo. Originally Adamski, too, was to be a little person, but shortly before I sent the write-up to the sculptor I changed the concept a little bit. I extremely proud of the figure. I described him as I envisioned him to Brian Cooke (the sculptor), and apparently he hooked up a 3d printer to my mind, because... well, honestly, it's -just- as I imagined him.

Can I just ask how long the Japanese uniform was in use for?
