Major interwar gaming figures who do not have a mini?

[Arlequín]

Picking up on an earlier comment, it does make sense to make packs that follow a single theme.

So HS himself would go well with other similar figures; Badoglio, Orde Wingate, the female RR armoured car commander from the Wilbur Smith book 'Cry Wolf', Jan Smuts, Evelyn Waugh and anyone tenuously linked with Abyssinia in the Interwar/WWII era for example.

The same would follow for other themes.

Glad to see George Formby on the list.

How about Norman Wisdom? Could be a big seller on the Albanian market :~}

  Yep, he's was Enver Hoxha's secret weapon, the secret anti-comedy ray.

Do pay attention at the back there.

In addition to Louis Armstrong (and his band - all named), we do make a Laurel and Hardy in a panto horse costume. As I haven't managed to get it into the release schedule let, contact me if you are interested. We also have a George Formby available, and a lamppost. Another influential Inter-War figure in the UK at least.

He couldn't see, the lady in front of him hasn't removed her hat.

Matt just drop me a couple of pics of your man in his 20's field uniform and that of your standard marine and I'll do a four figure set.the sooner you do the sooner I can start.
Jon I'll do Spode,Moseley,and a couple of far right 'scouts '(I can't bring myself to do a serious set for this)and a bunch of armed Boy Scouts just to balance it out.
For the female fighters I'll go with the three in the pictures but leaves me one short so any ideas/pictures for the forth,
I'm still undecided as to what to put with'H.S' but that'll come in time.
As for film starts I don't feel they're a topic for this range,However characters portrayed by them might have a place further down the line.(you don't make a Harrison Ford you make an professor Jones junior,)
Some of these will take some time as I'll be fitting them in as and when.

For female fighters, there is Cherie Eileen Blair - George Orwell's wife, but I can't get a clear picture of her in 'visiting the trenches' fashion. There is also Mika Feldman de Etchebéhère - the only female to gain the rank of captain in the Republican Army.



Or you could go for a more active version of this nameless lass...



For H.I.M. how about doing him on his ass?



I'm guessing the parasol bearer looks like the other guys around him.

I guess some Ethiopian civilians or "characters" might work, but that really makes it feel even more like he should be sold with Empress' line for that war.

I really think my best guess is a collection of interwar leaders or dignitaries who haven't been done before - OR with other VBCW personalities (tying Selassie to VBCW, as he would have have been in England for several years already during any such war). You could do it as a "heroes" and "villains" two-pack set, one with Selassie and perhaps Attlee, Cosmo Lang, and someone else (the more colourful the better!) and the other with Spode and Moseley and the other no-goodniks.

With the dignitaries, who else is there, really? I've racked my brains and did come up with Haakon VII of Norway (another fine fellow), and maybe a young, prewar/WWII partisan Josip Tito, but I think piling in the Emperor with the VBCW crew is both funnier and more likely to sell.

That's cracking mate! The advantage of doing Blackshorts, as opposed to Blackshirts, is that they're fictional, and poke fun at the latter, so no need to feel too uncomfortable.

Now that is a very good idea!

[FramFramson]

In a pack like that, you could still have an Ethiopian "loyal bodyguard" or something for the Emperor, if you wanted to, or were at a loss for a character too round out the pack.

It just makes sense to me that Selassie would have been involved with VBCW in some way, as he was also a capable veteran general, with experience fighting Fascists and a VERY strong incentive to want to smash them. And it's silly in that perfectly VBCW "kitchen sink" sort of way.

This lets you also have a consistent theme to the packs, while still allowing a pretty wide range of possible figures.

You could just paint the parasol as an umbrella and the ass as a seaside donkey, job done.

I worry that the heat and an exotic diet is taking its toll on you old chum.    Painting your arse to look like a donkey? Gee up Pedro.
