Love these miniatures, definitely going to be using them for Infinity as Line Kazak replacements (the older sculpts look not so great, and these are awesome).

Any chance you might do some more hat styles? Ushanka's perhaps? Or more Field type ones? If you don't, that's fine, I should be able to get by with the ones you have sculpted thus far (the helmeted ones, plus the regular ones you get on the resistance girls will be easily used). I'll likely grab the Beret headed ones for Merovingian Ariadna forces, and some of the others for use with Sedition Wars.

Good work mate! Will be looking to make a nice order with you in the future!

Statuesque Miniatures is pleased to announce we are now selling the Pulp Alley rulebooks and playing cards. With a European retailer for the games, it is now easier and cheaper for Pulp Alley fans on this side of the Atlantic to get their hands on the printed copies of the game.



Pulp Alley is a pulp-themed miniatures game, with all the rules you need to bring dashing heroes, dastardly villains, and pulse-pounding action to your gaming tabletop. Pulp Alley captures the fast-paced excitement of classic cliffhanger serials and pulp magazines to more modern action/adventure stories. Designed primarily as a multi-player miniatures game, each Pulp Alley scenario is jammed full of villains, unexpected perils, and plenty of two-fisted action.

The Pulp Alley rulebooks and cards are in-stock, though we are waiting on protective sleeves so there will be a couple of days delay before orders are sent.

The Pulp Alley Rulebook is £11.50 (UK price), the Perilous Island expansion and scenario book £12.50 and the Pulp Alley Fortune Deck £10.00. Until Monday 2nd December or while stocks last, you can purchase all three items for a Special Offer reduced price of only £30, saving over 10%.

Please note, there is a small surcharge for orders outside the UK, due to postal costs. Please remember to click the appropriate surcharge on the product page or your order may be delayed.



Next up is the release of the improved Female Resistance Fighters. The Female Resistance Fighter Redux set is priced at £11. Purchase two sets for £10 each; three or more sets for only £9 each!

With redone, improved heads and weapons, the Female Resistance Fighter Redux allows me a more flexible base to further expand the range in future, as well as allowing me to offer even better deals.



Speaking of which, you can now purchase the 8-figure Resistance Cell set, comprising of the Female Resistance Fighter Redux, Resistance Fighter Cell Officers and Resistance Recon Team. Until Monday 2nd December, this set is priced at only £24, saving £5 over buying the items separately. Purchase two cells for £23 each; three or more for only £22 per set!

Not only that, you'll also get a FREE Resistance Fighter Beret Head sprue and a FREE Resistance Fighter Officer Weapons sprue if you purchase two or more Resistance Cells.



There's more! The three-figure Resistance Specialists set comprises of Rosa, Lila and Eva of the Resistance, and is priced at only £13. Purchase two sets for £12 each; three or more for only £11 each! Until Monday 2nd December,you'll also get a FREE Resistance Fighter Beret Head sprue if you purchase two or more Resistance Specialists sets.

Finally, the original Female Resistance Fighters are now available individually, allowing you to tailor your Cell to your exact requirements. Stock on these items are currently low but they will be restocked in the future.

Looking good. I'm set to receive a few spare parts of Eisenkern plastics to convert female stormtroopers (or AS, not sure yet) and I'll be using the cracking hairdo set, and a few of your machine pistols. If it goes over well, I'll be getting a few more heads.

Well, Pulp Alley sales have gone well, so much so that we're already sold out of the deal and the cards! We're looking into getting a restock as soon as possible.

Just wondering what the changes were to the original females that have now been replaced? What changes were made to the guns? I do see that one of the old style heads had a beanie which now isn't present, but I do like the field hats being used more as well.

Are there further changes to come, or are they good for the moment?

Hi Fenriswolf. The heads are different on all four figures, some more minor than others, but I've given them all a bit more expression in their faces. The guns are the same though a couple of them do not have their fingers on the trigger - they've learned a bit of trigger discipline so no more running with their fingers on the trigger! There are a couple of very minor changes to the bodies but nothing really noticeable.

The main change is that the moulds are much less prone to miscasts. It shouldn't have affected customers as I hope I caught all miscasts when sorting the figures, but it was quite a problem. With the new moulds, there wasn't a single miscast in this first batch! So it's easier and cheaper for me and the casters, which means I can now offer the deal for the Resistance Cell.

There won't be anymore changes to the Resistance Girls now as they offer a good base to continue with. I'll be adding more head and gun options in the future though, and a couple more specialists in due course.

Here are some photos of a figure that I hope to have on sale in the new year. This is the 3D print and she will be going away for moulding tomorrow, along with some other Statuesque figures and the Pulp Alley duo.

Lillie Poots is the heroine of my forthcoming pulp horror range Statuesque Asylum...









She's very small - around 21mm tall. I'm really pleased with how she turned out. I originally started her in Fimo almost two years ago, though I'm glad I redid her digitally as she's turned out much better. She's my favourite figure I've sculpted and I think one of my best!

Wow! She is great! I'll definitely get one of her- I'm using children to lead my Tyranid monsters about[for extra creepiness]- she'll be perfect. I'll get some of the resistance fighters too- always been a big fan of yours but not been able to get round to buying. Looking forward to seeing the new models too!

"Little Poots"?

Disturbingly, the word I most associate with "Poots" is "pin-up". That and genitalia-ridden body-horror.


The sculpt is great, though. Perfect for Cthulhu-inspired games as well as Young Scooby Doo hijinks.

"Lillie Poots". Where I'm from 'to poots' means to sulk. I was unaware of any body horror connotation! And thankfully Poots is a real surname.

I like her a lot, but I'm not sure that I would put her as one of your best. Great, definitely, but she has some severely sharp competition in your other work.

Out of curiosity, did you sculpt her to be more "heroic" proportions or more normal ones? I feel like her head might be a tad bit large, but maybe not since she is a youngster.

Great work, as usual.

BTW: Barbarian Adventurer? Still wating to see more than a silhouette...

She's definitely got a child's proportionally larger head but I've also made my pulp figures more 'Copplestone' in scale - a bit chunkier with slightly larger heads and extremities. Not quite heroic scale though. She'll still work fine with the scifi range though.

Regarding the barbar, check the Facebook page. I'll get photos of the print once I've cleaned it up.

Poots is the user name for the creator of kingdom death. I think this is what he was refrenceing.

"To poot" also means to fart. Hehe, gotta love what words mean in different cultures.

Am I really the only one whose first thought on seeing the name (in the thread title) was that it was a derivation of Lilliput from Gulliver's Travels??? Given that the announcement post stresses how small she is I suspect that is where the name comes from and not references to genitalia or flatus.

No criticism is meant. I apologize if my comments caused offense. I was just sharing what I found funny about her name.

The Lilliput pun is awesome and it's a positive that her name is memorable for other reasons, too. Hope she sells really well for you.


PS: Will there be a version with a sniper rifle?
