I basically fancy doing some games based around invasions of earth in the nineteenth century. Today whilst in the shed using the tumble drier l went searching for these . I have had them for ages but done nought with them. So after a few boxes moved and lifted here they are-

Tip top alien options I say!  I have decided to start on a few as time permits…

  1. I love these TimMee sets! Excellent choice for aliens and retro sci-fi gaming generally. I remember having the turtle/lobster alien when I was a kid. That figure is one of those that sends me back to my childhood on sight.

    1. I only knew of them as an adult and only from a few years ago as that. Someone at this forum kindly brought them to our attention.

  2. I look forward to the painted versions. It would have been good if Tim Mee did a figure with the 'pixie' helmet and a rifle instead of a pistol. My favorite non human is the apish looking alien with antennae and ray gun rifle.

    1. I agree re the non human ones. Currently painting but messed up the preparation process so starting again.

  3. Oh, those look fun, and as John Y said, just the ticket for retro sci-fi!

    Thanks for the handful of these TimMee figures you sent a year or two back, some already painted and ready for action in a garden far far away (spring or summer) ...

    1. I enjoyed your post you sent the link for. The Airfix ones are fascinating. I have resisted the Irregular Miniatures retro sf fig so far but they are very tempting…

  5. For inspiration (apart from the various incarnation of Battlestar Galactica ) Disney have the underrated The Black Hole but also all the whole Star Wars films, spin offs and animated series including the wildwest inspired Mandalorian / new Fett series.

    Disney's The Orville is an interesting 2020 reboot of a Star Trek like series, complete with domestic dramas between staff! It gets far better into series 2 ..

    1. Good suggestions, I really must get round to the Mandalorian…
      I have a Dan Dare reprint book which is so inventive and colourful that I often come back to it.
