This issue we get our first look
at a range of miniatures from
Bob Murch, former RAFM
sculptor of their Call of Cthulhu
figures.
The figures in the Pulp Figures
line are geared more towards
the action hero kind of game
rather than the creeping
monster and everyone dies
game.
A first look at the website reminded me of movies like
Indiana Jones, The Shadow, and stories of adventure and
intrigue. The first pack we’ll look at is the Film Crew. You
get a director, a camera-man, a camera, a script girl, and
the guy that holds the thingy that they click when the
director yells, “Action!”. All of the figures are in the 25-
30mm range and do remind me a lot of their RAFM Call of
Cthulhu counterparts. The director has one hand stuffed
in a pocket and the other holding a megaphone. Puffy
pants, a scarf and a beret bring out the character in this
model a lot. The figure did need some cleaning as the
mold line was easily visible, but there was nothing else to
do with him before priming the figure.
The camera and camera-man come as
separate pieces. The camera does need to
be removed from a hunk of lead
at its base and the legs need to
be (carefully) bent into position
so it will stand on its own. Other
than having to snip off the bottom
piece the camera was the
cleanest model of the bunch.
The operator required just a bit more cleanup
than the director, but it didn’t take too long.
He’s wearing a simple outfit of trousers and a
shirt, but things like his suspenders, and the
part in his hair help him to stand out. Facial detail on this
figure, and with the director also, was clear and good.
The ‘clicky-thing’ (dang,
why can’t I remember
what that’s called) guy
(upper-right) is wearing
suit pants and a vest,
with his shirt sleeves
rolled up. Cleanup was
about the same as with
the director, meaning a
little, but not too much.

His face is a little flatter than the other guys,
but not like he got hit with a shovel or
anything.
Last on the crew is the script
girl. Despite having a bit more
flash than the others she is my
hands-down favorite of the
group. Her hair is tied back in
a bun and her dress is nice,
but simple. So, what makes her my fave?
Because I can see her used perfectly in CoC
as a nice old librarian who’s secretly holding
the Necronomicon in her hands! Woo Hoo!
With just a tiny bit of work you can use all of these figs in
CoC. If you’re experiencing a resurgence in CoC like we
are then you’ll love these figs.
The set below is a 5-man baggie of Neanderthal Warriors.
You get 5 different poses and several come with separate
weapons. They were all free of defects and quite nice. If
you’re not playing a game like Rugged Adventures,
available free on the Pulp Figures website, then you could
use these as ghoul, but they do have a bit less cross-over
usability.
Each set will run you $12.00 USD for five figures and at
less than $2.50 per figure they are a good deal. Like I
said before, if you are a player of Call of Cthulhu then
these can really fit the bill for some new investigators or
non-player characters.
