I like post-apoc figures and stuff, but I just wish manufacturers would take down the "sci-fi weird look" just a notch or two

What time frame/frames would those firemen be suitable for?

I guess they can go with the M1142 TFFT kit.

I agree, more "Walking Dead" than "Victoria's Secret" with a gun.

For some reason women in the future find it difficult to get large items of clothing! I gues it's because all the post-apocalypse men grabbed the baggy T-shirts and trousers...

I'll be buying a set of the post-apoc women, but I'll also be converting the clothing some. The one's top is even shorter than Lara Croft's from "Tomb Raider". She looks more ready to go to a Rave than fight Zombies.
It would have actually been easier if she was sculpted in a bikini or something.

I guess the main market is not us, grown model-builders for the post-bikini ladies...

I would be more interested in original designed Sci-Fi figures such as those seen in videogames (DESTINY, HALO, MASS EFFECT) than Post-Apocalyptic figures. Some resin companies do sell original Sci-Fi figures.
Lol, I see what people mean by "skimpy outfits" for the women.

I'd buy SF figures too. I do like Post-Apoc stuffs, and in this scale it gives great scope for conversions of vehicles like in Twilight:2000.
And these outfits - you'll never meet anyone that likes sexy women more than me, but the short half-top is just not sensible except as lingerie. A tank top over her bust would be just as sexy, and would be what women actually wear.

It certainly appears there are serious women's fabric shortages in the post apocalyptic world

Anyone who is looking for female post-apocalyptic figures with more clothes on have the option of buying 1/35 "Not Yet Dead Miniatures" and 1/24 "Nuts Planet" figures.

So we barely managed to understand pre-apocaliptic women, and we have to start over again???

Someone should give that sculptor some lessons in face sculpting. All his faces are nearly 10000 years back in terms of human evolution.

Just received these figure today and some observations. While I like they way they're dressed (or undressed), I also bought them to cast figures from these, but will be altering my castings like scraping off a lot of stuff on the recasts, then adding additional clothing and different weapons. The one thing that bothers me is the figure with the half a t-shirt....her legs look too skinny. Just not many women available that aren't either in the 1930's/
1940's style of clothing or in full or partial military uniforms/equipment.

Guess you guys don't read a lot of comics. That half dressed look is what artists go for in that genre of stories now. And ditto with long, skinny legs. The female figures are more like what you would see in a comic or a movie, not reality.
Additionally, the female faces are full cheek, pouting lips which looks like a Neanderthal as a sculpture but when painted/ textured looks like so many other images of women in graphic novels.

Why does post-apoc #1 have her shorts un-zipped, and un-buttoned? Was she interrupted in the middle of something...maybe peeing...or something...?
