Hey guys, My name is Drew and I've been stalking this forum for a good long while trying to get a handle on the concept and I really like it. As long as it doesn't go Cowboys and Aliens I'm cool with it.
I've found a lot of miniatures of "cowboys"and the like from a lot of different manufacturers and there are a lot of really great figures out there.
That being said, I have always like the pulp western idea and while I was doing some miniature reconnaissance for a French and Indian War game I stumbled upon some interesting miniatures. I haven't seen these posted up so instead of continuing to troll about I figured I would pop on and share what I've stumbled across.

I had to chuckle at them but then I started thinking, Native American dress did not change that drastically over the millenia they inhabited North America too much and they would be perfect for the Weird West expansion system if anyone was interested. Obviously the true scale of the miniatures is unknown to me but if anyone has any of these figures to compare them to any existing lines or gave them a shot it would be great to know.
A fellow gamer posted up some pictures of Abraham Lincoln as his pulp self from the vampire movie and this would be great. I'm sure zombie cowboys are out there as well and would keep with the time period.
Great invention/idea for a game and I wish you continued success.
I am anxiously awaiting the first of my posse to arrive so I can get gaming.
