Size Comparison: Brigade and Wargames Supply Dump/GADFOZ

[Doc Twilight]

Hi, guys -

I'm building my forces for Fantastic Worlds, and working on some heroes. There's a female miniature in the Brigade Games range, Major Charlie Stackdt, who would fit the bill for the female character in a team I'm working on, but I'm unsure how she'd size up with WSD miniatures. Can anyone tell me how Wargames Supply Dump minis compare, size wise, with the Brigade Games miniatures?  Alternatively, how do they stand up with GADFOZ (which I'm told is about the same size as the WSD range).

Not a good fit (sigh, I have the figure) she is too small and thin. She would fir with Brigades pulp SF characters, though.

Thanks for that, floogle. Sorry to hear it, but good to know it for certain.

The Rattrap and Brigade Games retro sci-fi are similarly scaled. But they are very small next to most other 28mm lines. Gafdoz and Hydra figures are giants by comparison.

The Rattrap and Brigade Games models are much smaller and do not mix well with the "big boys." Our Retro Raygun figures are large 33-35 mm figures, but are extremely compatible with the wonderful pulp sci-fi ranges from Wargames Supply Dump and  Killer B's GAFDOZ ranges.  Here is a useful photo from the Hydra Miniatures website gallery that compares all three ranges:

Good luck with your Pulp Sci-fi project!

This is really whats so great about this forum - a forum for gamers and manufacturers alike, a free to share and discuss. Great work.

It's a shame that the sub-genre of Pulp Sci-Fi (or whatever we call it) seems to feature the very largest and very smallest '28mm' figures, with not much in between to serve as a balance. Everyone is either small and skinny or some sort of intergalactic night club bouncer.

My favourites are Hydra, although I like the WSD figures as well (in a hulking sort of way).

And Pulp Figures' Radon Zombies, which would be in that middle range if they weren't designed to be so skinny (being zombies, sorta).
