People Of The World Painting Progressing And Happy Discovery
First off many of the figures have child-like proportions - or dwarf ones! So there is a potential supply of Dwarf or Munchkin civilians.
But wait, there is more! The 'North Korean' in strange 'top hat' is smoking a pipe which could pass as a musical instrument so there is a musician for a dwarf regiment! I'll paint him as a redhead with a metal hat. I might add a shield and weapon.
'North Koreans'
Stereotyped figures? Well they are in 'national costume'. What point would there be if all were in Western suits or tee-shirts and jeans? Anyhow, that would be cultural appropriation! Hahaha!
The figures themselves are not fantastic, with weird or cut off feet etcetera. Yet they have a 'certain charm'.
Some were made by a company called Van Brode, others by Commonwealth, and similar figures by a French company, Codec.
ReplyDeleteWhat products did they come with? It is interesting that 3 companies did them with so similar style.
