  Why not,i can see a place for such a range of miniatures. At the moment it seems there is an interest in the steampunk fantasy world  like the League of gentlemen super hero types, even Osprey books are in on the act with a new set of rules. Manga types are also popular,and with all the recent Hollywood superhero blockbusters,no it dosn't seem like a daft idea to me.

Like the Pendraken/Minibits Crossover miniatures superheroes?  http://www.minibits.net/Crossover-Miniatures-c25/ (http://www.minibits.net/Crossover-Miniatures-c25/) you mean?   ;)

It's been asked before, but a full range of individual personalities just isn't economically viable unfortunately.  We'd need to be selling 100+ of them to recoup the outlay, and that could take several years to do. 

As an alternative (although not ideal), there are so many different figures in the ranges now (10,000+), that there a lot of options for Steampunk / League of Gentleman proxies I'd think?  Quartermain could be a Boer/Sudan officer, Nemo could be an OttomanTurk officer, Mina could be one of the ACW female civilians, etc.

:-\

We don't have anything for Superheroes though, although those 28mm ones are very nice...  :D

28mm Pah!

Would you consider "nude" male and female figures that people like me with minimal skills could putty up?

We've got bare dollies, but they're more than 'nude', more like stick bodies with no arms and no faces...  :-\

I think that would require more talent with putty than I possess.

A number of basic nudes would be very useful indeed. Wenches, onsen scene, slave market, architectural and sculptural features; and this without even dipping into the uses the fantasy people would make of them.

Hi

We could do a 10mm diorama of the filming of lesbian lavatory lust. :-[

We`ll need a nude plumber.

SF/Superhero is a bit of a guilty pleasure.
