New Hinterland Pulp Characters
« on: September 24, 2012, 05:06:22 AM »
Hi All,

This is something of an odd (in a variety of ways) and very small update for Hinterland; Pulp Characters:



These are sculpted by Matt Bickley, and while they’re slightly larger in scale than the female of the species, they should look good next to miniatures from Pulp Figures, Copplestone, Brigade and whoever else sells pulp miniatures.  Alas, having cost more at every stage, they’re also somewhat more expensive than the usual Hinterland fare, but worth every penny I think.  You can buy these and other fine Hinterland products here:

Thanks for your interest.

They're nice. I like the captain. I could easily see him on the deck of a u-boat.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Oh you rascally wag! I see what you've done there!  :-*

Let's seeeeeee... I spot Allan, Aristides Silk, annnd I think Dr. Mueller? Not quite sure of the one the far left - there's been plenty of that type! I can't place the one in the middle and that's driving me nuts.

Come on you eagle-eyed lot, let's see if we can solve this puzzle!

I love the 'about to punch' character. Also a lot I've missed in the range!

Quite excellent stuff, Mancha.

Shit! How could I miss this reference? I MUST have the Alan fig to. The chappie with the cane and Stetson, that's the good captain Archibald H. himself in civilian threads, isn't it?

Wait, I think I've got the one in the middle... is it Jolyon Wagg?!

I suspected Alan would be the tip-off. 

Hammers: I can see how the cane figure could be the Captain in cvilian clothes, but FramFramson was right when he said it was Dr. Mueller, although looking perhaps somewhat beefier than the original. 

FramFramson: I can also see how the middle one might look like Jolyon, but you've got it wrong.  Keep looking.  I'll try to post a better pic tonight.    :)

Hm... is that a small goatee on the middle fellow?

I'd say he was the Syldavian secret agent, but the outfit's totally wrong and he's far too cheery-looking anyway. Plus I'm sure that satchel refers to something (I originally thought of the scene where Wagg is pulling out the insurance papers, right before he catches it in the face...)

I'd say he was the Syldavian secret agent, but the outfit's wrong other than the homburg (no ribbon tie) and he's far too cheery-looking anyway.

Col Sponz? No I don't see that either...

Colonel Sponz would be a fantastic addition to any pulp miniatures line though! I'm also surprised at the lack of a certain temporarily-indisposed South American on-again off-again dictator.

I'm liking the sculpting style of Matt and glad to see he's sculpting that sort of stuff. Very characterful.
