I am always seeking to bolster my collection of civilians. After all, no world is populated only by soldiers. But finding suitable figures in 54mm (or 1/32 scale) is not dissimilar to finding hen's teeth.
However these two figures of Belle and Beast from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" fit the bill. They both look vaguely like they belong in the 18th Century and have suitably plain clothing.
Both figures were produced by Hasbro in the early 2000s. I gave them a complete repaint, but kept them in their original movie outfits.
Now these two figures join my other movie characters to populate this 18th Century world. (For more movie characters, see http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/05/libertys-kids-character-james-hiller.html, and http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/search/label/Beyond%20the%20Mask).
I have been toying with some special wargame rules for these characters (Does Belle's book knowledge allow her to predict what the enemy might do? What is her attack and defense score?). These two promise to add color to any wargame, as well as interest to dioramas!
Figures by Hasbro; painted with Testors paints. No conversion was required (besides carving the Hasbro logos off Beast's legs!)
