Though not a superhero range there are a few minis by Hasslefree which would fit.

More than a few if you are also including supersoldiers/special agents in which case most of the adventurers and martial artists ranges fit. The fantasy range has some really nice ones for medieval and mythological heroes, like Shining Knight, Norse gods and Amazons.

Mutant Joe is probably one that really stands out for me, then of course there is Kev in a "not-IronMan" suit from the dress-a-kev range.

Yup. I'm using Mutant Joe for a superstrong character.

And Kat/Dionne for a vigilante.

And Griffon for a mutant (converted removing the swords).

Don't forget that Iron Kev (like any mini representation of Kev) is small, very small by heroic 28mm standards.

I have found that with afew ranges.
Might have to order 1 or 2 and see.

Is there a UK stockist for Superfigs?

No UK stockist as such, BUT if you get in touch with Old Glory (UK) you *may* be able to cobble together an order that way (it may take time to come through).

Re: Superfigs - for a while they (and Heroclix) were the only real game in town in current supers minis. I find the detailing leans towards the sparse and is on softer side, and others may disagree, and they are priced accordingly. For some they are perfect for their needs, for others not so much. The line does have great depth and range so is worth a look if you enjoy the style.

Course it's not helped by "heroic" actually meaning "gigantism/elephant man."

I'm a fan of more accurately scaled 28mm stuff.

That's a whole different matter however.

However saying that sometimes it's nice to have some variation as, well, people are varied.
Wolverine is only about 5' 3".

OK, its been a while since this topic was last used but it thought it was a good thing to bring back for people to reference and ask ....

Has anybody found any other super minis lines in the last few months?

I picked up some Superfigs from the local shop today and they are good for the price. I'll paint these up before I decide if I'll be getting any more of them.

I've been told the FINAL production molds will be ready "early next week" so as soon as I get the word, I will take approximately 5-7 seconds to put in my order.  Then, they cast it and ship it.  I'll take a day or two getting stuff out the door to the original backers, then open the store.  I would hope by mid July, but the more I learn about this process, the less I would hold my breath.  lol

Narg has to be one of my favourite Hasslefree minis
