A refined soul trapped within a deformed body, ‘Jo’ has spent many years touring Europe and Great Britain with freak shows and circus troupes as the Elephant Man, earning a meagre living whilst amazing the gentry with his intelligence and etiquette. Labelled ‘Protean’ by the men of science, is his condition a natural aberration or the beginnings of something more….supernatural?

Suitable for Victoriana, role-playing, or modern game settings, he is the first of a small collection of Freak Show figures that Black Pyramid are designing as part of our Vox Populi range of collectable miniatures.

The Elephant Man is available right now, along with other new releases HERE

New From Pendraken

We've added a few extra troop types to our Elizabethan range! Commissioned by Pendraken Forum member d_guy and sculpted by Phil, these provide some handy extra options for the later 16th century period in Ireland.

"The figure styles are somewhat of a compromise and while they are typical for Ireland from 1570 – 1600, they are usable at least back to 1500. This means that to the most knowledgeable a few anachronisms creep-in for a few of the figures and for these I take full responsibility. The jackets (ionar) changed in style significantly over the 16th c and I wanted figures that could be fudged a bit with painting. I also wanted to be able to use these figures to represent Highlanders in the same period. The Gallowglass easily fit the bill and we have added folded 'plaids' (cloaks, mantles) which can be painted in a tartan pattern if one wishes. Likewise, many of the new figures can represent 'Redshanks'."

Elizabethans
EL11 Gallowglass with axe (15) £2.65
