TinMan, Horde Warrior

Here is another Martian Horde Warrior from TinMan Miniatures.  Not sure at this point when the release date is.  John was a little disappointed to have the gun touching the ground, but to me, it still looks fantastic.  Hope to see more of these type figures.

John Carter of Mars, Girl Friends

When your girlfriend says to you, "hey let's go see that Mars movie", you question life as you know it.  After your jaw drops and you pick it back up, you don't hesitate in saying yes. :-)  I was lucky enough to go see John Carter of Mars last night.  I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect.  After seeing it, I thought the movie was well executed and was fun to watch.  Now she wants to watch Lord Of Rings, what to do...what to do. :-)

She just informed me that the actor that played John Carter filmed Friday Night Lights here in Austin and fell in love with the city and decided to build a house here.  She now says she wants to meet him.  Little does she know, I am also from Virginia and will smash him like the Martian bug that he is.

If your looking to get some Mars type miniatures there are 3 companies that I know of who make rather nice Martian type figures.

Black Hat carry a line called Martian Empires.  The figures are 18mm, but the martian ones might actually work just fine with 15mm.

Tinman Miniatures carries a line of 32mm John Carter type figures.  The figures are extremely well sculpted and have a ton of character.

Bronze Age Miniatures carries a line of 32mm Wasteland figures.  The figures are a little larger than Tinmans, but would work nicely together.

Paroom Station Miniatures carries a line of 28mm Mars figures.  They tend to be much smaller than Tinman or Bronze Aged Miniatures.

TinMan Miniatures, Back at it

TinMan Miniatures is releasing some fantastic new miniatures.  I have a bunch of the figures and they are all really sweet in both detail and design.  Absolutely love the Wild Ride figure seen below, which retails for $24.95.   The figures are scaled at 32mm, where a six-foot tall man is about 32mm from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

TinMan Miniatures, Sale

TinMan Miniatures is going Ape again and having another 25% off sale.  The Winter Holiday Sale continues until January 4, 2011.

Now that is one large Ape.  Here are a few goodies from Tinman Miniatures.  The price of $4.65 for the Horde Warrior is a great deal considering how large the figure is (49mm head to toe.).

 

TinMan is working on having a new site up soon.
