Yes I like the idea of more "pulp"-like figs in Our scale.
Thank you tsold. 28mm has all these figures I have listed, but 1/72nd scale has everything they don't have. These are so useful for not only role playing games, but even for wargames set in exotic locales.

All of them can be made in metal if you like. Take a look at hagen-miniatures.de, there is the explanation how it works.
And Fidel Castro is already there:-)
Thank you Uwe. I already tried custom metal figures and I only got 8 out of the 24 that I paid for, so not a happy outcome. I have considered hagen-minitures.de but not ordered from them as yet.
