Title: ERB Mars range
Post by: blacksmith on 28 January 2011, 09:57:12 AM
Hi,
Bronze Age does it in 30 mm, Black Hat in 18 mm and Peter Pig in 15 mm but we all like to have them in 10 mm.
I'd love to see red warriors, one pack of heroes with John Carter, Woola, a princess of Mars, a Jeddak, etc., Green warriors with four armss, four arm white apes, thoats, flying boats, etc.
Needless to say that with the look the great master Frank Frazzeta put on them  :)
Cheers,

Whoot!!!!!!!!!

What a cracking idea  :D

To misquote "If you cast them, I will buy"

But also you'll need flyers, great honking lizards to ride, etc, etc.

Sounds a bit copyright-y to me...!

ERB's work has more than 50 years and everybody is doing it in other scales without any problems at all; you would only have to change names. Something like red warriors and green warriors or warriors from the Red planet, for example.
Aren't you selling 10 mmm. Aliens like those from the Alien's film anyway?  ;)

I never read John Carter on Mars novels, but I like the idea of new alien species and creatures. Characters could be usefull in "Pulp story" setting. I like this idea very much.

A great idea, Red martians would do for the black, white and yellow races as well.
The green martians would have to be pretty big as they are supposed to be 16 feet tall!!

Add me too for these.

Regarding copyright, at least some of the Barsoom stuff is in the public domain, AFAIK. Certainly you can download some (all?) the books legitimately.See http://www.feedbooks.com/author/23 (http://www.feedbooks.com/author/23).

Cheers, Martyn
