Admins Retro AR Range - repurposed Super Heroes!

The Admins Ranges included a set of figures coded SH, Super Heroes. Trouble is, they were dubious at the very least - basically think Teen Titans... So not a Range I ever released. However, going over the Admins Ranges it was obvious the figures themselves  were a lot more flexible. Ideal, in fact, for other Pulp uses. So...

Not all done so far but certainly made a good start. I've made a deliberate attempt to delink these from the SH Range - codes are now AR (Admins Retro) and don't correspond in any way with the numbering of the 'original' Range. Painted in a very toy soldier block painting scheme that just looks 'right'.

AR01 Ship's Captain. This one just screamed it's id out! I've gone for a very Retro Pulp Spacemen scheme - red, black and brass. 

AR02 Number One. Same pose as the Captain so seemed right.

AR03 Young Hero. Another one that seemed obvious. The annoying teenage genius that often saved the day. It was the cloak that did  it - of course he would wear a cloak!

AR04 Bridge crew 1. Has to be bridge crew...

AR05 Ship's Engineer. Red belt seemed a better fit than black. I did put shading on the pockets,etc, of this figure, it just doesn't show up in the photo.

Alternate colour scheme - painted this before I'd thought of using the figure as a spaceship crew member, but then again it's as useful as a civilian anyway!

AR06 Generic crew 1

AR07 Crew member in T Shirt

AR08 Cyborg crew member.

AR09 Ship Psych Operative - again, seemed the obvious thing to do!

AR10 Security officer. Originally a very unconvincing SAS soldier.

Still not sure of the colour scheme to use on this figure - could well be trying a few more. There are a couple more figures to add for the security element.

AR11 Independent Trader. Took me a while to think of a use for this figure!

AR12 Reporter. In the original Range this figure wasn't listed but I found it as SH24 Reporter. It's the only figure with it's 'original' designation.

AR13 Intrepid Reporter. Has to be intrepid - think Lois Lane or Dale Arden. About as iconic a stereotype in pulp fiction as you can get. Which should probably make AR12 a Meek Reporter but...

AR14 Youth in casual pose. This figure has already appeared in the Christmas/Toyland adventure. Probably has a part time (or full time) job as a photographer - Jimmy Olsen or Peter Parker. The original figure was described as Dick Greyson!

AR15 Youth giving directions. Another figure from the Christmas adventure.

AR16 Police Sergeant. Again, there are a couple more police figures to add. I've painted the uniform dark Prussian Blue - not quite right, Dark Sea Blue might be more accurate, but it looks good.

This doesn't cover the entire Range - still a few more to find and/or paint. For some reason I forgot to add the pillar box and there's a mercenary figure I'm struggling with re paint scheme. Overall, though, a very useful range of figures so far.
