Cavemen and Tim Mee and MPC

Imperial Toys cavemen figures.

Here with a 60mm Tim Mee soldier with pistol, a white MPC ring hand figure, and a Tim Mee Galaxy Laser Team figure in silver. 

 While exploring lost worlds, dense jungles, and dangerous islands, the possibility of cavemen is always present.  Now I have a few to fill in that gap in my collection.  I have fewer than 20 and I am not sure I have all the poses, so I will likely buy a few more.

Cavement vs Godzillasaurus

A while back I got a set of dogs at Dollar Tree, this big skinny dog is the same color as the cavemen so he and a couple others are now cavedogs.

I think the style of the dogs fits well too.

Here the tribe has turned out to defend their territory from Godzillasaurus.

With fire, rocks and dogs they defend their land.

A few spears help make their point.

Godzillasaurus will soon be sent away.

I have moved my photo studio to the other side of the room, not sure it will stay here or not but experimenting with different lighting and different indoor set up options.

 

Cavemen

Imperial Toys makes a line of cavemen, they are about 45mm tall.  This one has a club with spikes in it, and a man bun.

I figure since cavemen are likely shorter than modern people that 45mm works just fine for 54 to 60mm size figures.  This one has a stone ax.

This guy has discovered fire.  The bases are kind of small and they don't always stand up well, They may get re-based at some point.  They are action packed, not a lot of sitting around the cave poses.

I like the spear guy with stone tipped spear.  These figures often were sold in sets with zombies or pirates, I got these off eBay as a used group.

This guy has a parrot on his shoulder so perhaps a pirate / caveman crossover?  And he is trowing a rock with his left hand.

Throwing a circular rock, typical of these figures, action packed combat poses, but at the same time rather odd.  I have three of them in yellow plastic but the orange seems more common.
 

Caveman Fix

The new Linear A Cavemen set comes with this piece.  Two Denisovan men carrying a small dead deer on a stick between them.

You get four of these in the set, which is kind of a lot.

But you can cut the deer off the stick and use it for terrain decoration.  Put it in the cave next to the fire pit for example.

Then cut the stick and trim it down so it looks more like a club.

Do that for front and rear deer carrier.

I think the figures look pretty good when separated.

They will work better in a wargame I think rather than having a bunch of deer carriers.

 I plan on leaving about one out of every four deer on the stick as is so that I can use them in games or set ups as needed.  It is a nice piece, and the others look great separate too.

Cave Entrance

Guarding the home.

Watching for the mister to return.

Hi honey, I am home.

Rock tossing.

Boring sport for spectators.
 

Where?

Look out.

Here I am!

Where?

Here.

Sneaking up while the other two are yelling!

We got one already.

Congratulations.
 

Animals in the Trees

Large herbivores eating a tree.

Tall ones eat the high leaves.

Man with a spear sneaking up on them.

Hiding in the trees to get close.

Animals are unaware.
 

Family Photos

Gathering the firewood is an important job.

Particularly during an ice age.

Neanderthals.

Denisovans.

Homo Sapiens.

Prehistoric Lunch to Go

This is a great pose for dioramas.

Somewhat limited utility for wargames.

Unless the plan is to use this as an objective.

Get the dead animal back to the cave before the other animals or people get it.

Like this sneaky guy.

I like the spear point.
