Looking for boxing miniatures

Hi everybody,

i've been working on a Blood Bowl Boxing game at the moment. For this i am looking for fantasy miniatures with boxing gloves.

Does anybody know of any in production?

Thanks in advance for any hint

Blood Bowl Boxing?

Isn't that just fighting?

There's really no need to cut'n'paste additional minis.. A bit of GreenStuff and a photo-reference should give you boxing gloves on any mini you'd like in no time!! (..but then there's the re-positioning of the arms.. I'd use plastic minis just 'cause they're easy on my patience)

-Cassius.. Why aren't you dancing..

sorry no gloves though...

Do you need gloves for a Blood Bowl version? I mean the gloves are to cut down on injuries and wouldn't that be the point of Boxing BB style?

I really don't mean to be a jerk but I am kinda lost on this one.

Boxing Blood Bowl style? What does that mean?

Here's an interesting thought: if this is supposed to be Blood Bowl boxing, wouldn't the gloves actually be SPIKED, rather than Marquis-of-Queensbury standard?

Not to mention, the fighters should remove their armour IMHO...

So it would actually be more like boxing was in Ancient Rome, or similar to Pankration...yes?

I friend of mine runs, or at least ran, a webstore and carried 100 Kingdoms, and I'm fairly certain he had them at a discount. I say "ran" because the link isn't working right now, and I haven't talked to him in a bit to know whether or not he's shut down operations. But we're all gathering at his place tomorrow to kick off our new BB season so I'll ask him about it then. We're in Los Angeles, but I'm sure that if he's still in business, he'd be willing to make overseas arrangements to make a sale. I might even be willing to play the middleman and get them from him and ship them myself, if things could be worked out. Again, I'll check and see if he even still has them, is still selling them, and if there's a discount enough to make it worth it when I see him tomorrow.

The problem with that Lahatiel, is that MANY stores picked up 100 kingdoms at first and are now trying to sell them off. The boxing clown is a new release and while my 2 local stores carry the line, they won't order in any new ones. I tried to get one myself. I can't say that your store isn't different, but I wouldn't count on it.

Ah, I see... I've never actually paid much attention to the line, nor my acquaintance's dealings with it. Given what you've said, I'm not that optimistic, actually; But I'll ask tomorrow anyway; can't hurt, right?

No, it can definitely not hurt.

100 Kingdoms is 28mm scale?

I love that clown... he'd be perfect for my human team. I have a lineman named Bingo.
