As I announced a while back, we're not going to cover new miniatures on this site as a general topic anymore. However, I will cover sales on miniatures when I uncover them, or if a new release happens to pique my curiosity or looks really "neat" to me I will cover it here. Such is the case with two of the newest releases from Pulp Figures in their "Radon Zombies of the Ionosphere" line.
Recently, Pulp Figures released packs number 2 and number 3 in this line, and while I don't play any games for which they'd be useful to me, I do think they're neat to look at:
These have a very 1950's sort of "Forbidden Planet" kind of feel to them, which may be what I enjoy about looking at them. They make me think of the old pulp sci-fi films.
