Victory Force Miniatures is pleased to introduce Riot/Security figures.
These figures are in the Redd Redan line. This line is a future world line. The figures are a mix of today and future. Use them in sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, alternate-universe, and future-type games.
Pack 022001 consists of assorted bodies in padded body armor and sets of assorted arms. You pick what they carry; clubs, "cattle prods," samurai-type swords, shields, etc.
With the randomly picked arms and bodies, you will be able to put together a large assortment of slightly unique-looking figures.
Pack 022002 consists of figures in padded armor, assault rifles, and pistols.
You can also buy them individually.
See them in the Victory Store in the Newest Products section.

Slightly unique? Kittens everywhere are dying from this misuse of the language.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

They don't really look very high tech or futuristic to me, and the poses seem kind of awkward.

I think the awkward poses could be corrected by assembling them better.
I like them, but they're less distorted in scale than "heroic" minis, so they'd look odd next to GW stuff. But YMMV.
And they'd be really cool for Shadowrun-ish stuff.

Looking at their site, all their figures seem to have slightly awkward poses.
Someone else must do riot cops.
