In 2014, what scale figures could have been but were not?

[Uruk-Hai]

More WW2 Germans.

More WWII germans pointing.

I'm gonna tell you guys, there's some ideas here, I would not let them pass away if I was a manufacturer!


More ideas, in the hope to keep this alive and kicking!



Mad Jack Churchill - He is the leading guy in this image disembarking with a Scottish Broadsword:

Here's he:

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

A duel bust or figure. 'Brothers in Arms', I always like a story to be visual with any piece no matter how evocative.

Maybe Bogey as he appeared with Bugs Bunny in the Warner Bros. cartoon "8-Ball Bunny". "Pardon me, but could you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?"

Mad Jack Churchill - He is the leading guy in this image disembarking with a Scottish Broadsword:

Here's he:

An interesting and colourful character 'Mad Jack Churchill' he did carry a broad sword into battle and also a bow, it is recorded he actually killed a German sentry with the bow during an operation, the only confirmed bow kill of the war I believe. I collected information on him a couple of years ago with the intention of doing a figure/bust of him but haven't got round to it.

My vote is for this one, Tigris of Gaul, hard to believe no one has done this one. I have gotten this far.

 

[Blue Thunder]

More WW2 Germans.

Here's one, as far as I remember, still not done as a bust: Volkssturm Jungers.

Not fiction, unfortunately true:

Photographs of young ones under ten do exist. I just can't imagine the torrent of electronic pulses a character such as this would cause on the web.

Mad Jack is a heck of character to develop a figure! (Hello Tommy's War, this one is indeed for you ): A disembarking man in the middle of WWII chaos armed with medieval weapons! Here is an illustration somehow exaggerated (specially the Bagpipes) of the man:

But what a character he must had been:

Here's another missing fellow - Read this please Young



WWII Naval target coordinators and phone talkers wearing the gigantic M14 Helmet and its variants:

This helmet would inspire the head gear wore by the biggest villain in movie history - Darth Vader himself. Strangely I have to dig my collection until the very late 70's!!! to find the single kit I know of a figure wearing it.


And what a gem this miniature is - From the cradle of time, allow me to revival Series 77 US Navy Talker:

Now, time for a bust:

Come on Young! This one would be a killer in your range!

 

[Eludia]

reminds me a bit of these guys:

The Empire were into big helmets it seems, maybe it was a status symbol; the bigger the helmet the bigger the man

 

[Eludia]

and let's not forget Spaceballs:

 

[zane666]

considering the amount of germans out there, I don't recall seeing any doing the salute and clipping the heels, would it be politically incorrect?

[Blue Thunder]

You guys are 100% correct! Lucas technicians used the M-14 helmet as main inspiration to create the empire helmets. They also used Tamiya Kingtiger and Monogram F-15 parts to create the Millenium Falcon

Zane, the figure you mention exists. Check Andrea Miniatures "party leader". A very controversial miniature "unlikable here". I still remember when it appeared countless topics being blocked in so many forums worldwide.


Here's more forgotten Germans. Specially as busts:

German uniforms at the outbreak of WWI ... And this is the year of the centenary!

The spiked helmet, the Prussians, the Uhlan regiments... So many Germans(!!!) ... not done yet

 

[Blue Thunder]

Here's another bust I am still missing (it would be SOMETHING out of the hands of great Carl Reid):


American Civil War Hilan Berdan Sharpshooters:

And bellow one variant of Christian Sharpe's rifle mounting the characteristic long telescopic sights of the 1st United States Sharpshooters:

President Abraham Lincoln himself demanded Sharpe's rifles to was delivered to Berdan's men.

And here's another beauty: Model 1859

The history of contemporary sniping starts immensely here. But strangely good models of the 1st are still undone!
