Author Topic: Need Nazi/boxer figure for Indiana Jones Flying Wing battle  (Read 4396 times)

Does anyone know of a good figure for the bald Nazi mechanic that Indy battles at the flying wing scene in Raiders, plus a German mechanic and pilot?
I am running a .45 Adventure scenario based on that scene for Origins this year (last year I did the opening scene with the jungle and idol). My playtesters think I need to add those characters and they don't like any of my figures that I currently have.

You'd have to taper the lower pants a little to turn them into puttees, and add a dastardly mustache, but I suspect this, from Pulp Figures, is the closest you'll get:

They look great.  Not seen that set before.   :)

But I think I see a swastika on the Eagle.  Which probably isn't so good for the Prof and his hosting company.  ;)

The various Pugilists in the Foundry Old West "Out On The Town" set might be useful (they have the appropriate "put 'em up" stance):

You may find them rather puny in scale though, as they are part of the older, smaller Foundry OW range.

Disney micro action sets had the boxer.  He might be a tad small being a large 25mm.  Repainted he looks good.
