Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Depending how insane about scale you are (I'm way too nuts about it  lol), I like the Foundry Tarzan. I also own Reapers & North Star both are great sculpts but come in a bit tall compared to many 28's. Pulp Miniatures also has a nice Hollywood Tarzan set. 
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I do like that tin man Tarzan.
He'd make a good addition to my cave clan... Is he 28mm?
And is he available in the UK or Europe, or only direct from the USA (I'd pay more in shipping than the cost of the model!)  ::)

Excellent suggestions!

So far, I haven't seen a bad one.

Tin Man may be it, as I also meant to order some of the john carter-esque stuff.

Just bought that set.  Excellent sculpt.

I also have the Pulp Figures set.  Big fan of that.

Also painted the Ral Partha figure - good if you want a Tarzan in his younger days.

I ordered Tin Man miniatures : great service and fantastic sculpt. I would go for Tin Man Tarzan if I were you.

I have also ordered from Tin Man miniatures, and I had the same experience - great service, fast shipping, top-notch sculpt.

I have her. She was going to be part of my recent LPL cavegirl entry, but never got past priming her  ::)

How does the Tin Man Tarzan scale in with an average (say, Copplestone) sized 28mm figure? I think i saw somewhere that he was a lot bigger than 28mm?
