(Painting) Even More Evil Hooded Minions by Pulp Figures

If someone put up a table at a flea market, swap meet, church basement solely to attract me, they would need to start with Evil Hooded Minions by Pulp Figures.  

I know my first pack of them came either from a distributor at a con or one one of my direct orders to Bob Murch in Canada.   Since I've reorganized the painting bench and the lead pile, I keep finding packs of these figures, which are a dream to paint up, and every time I swear I remember the last time I grabbed them off a table at one of the HMGS.... and then I find another pack.  

Fun fact: Of course this was just a baggie of figures I grabbed off of a table.  In reality its a mixture of Evil Hooded Minions 1 and 2 from the Pulp Figure "Weird Menace" line.

I think I've run out of unpainted minions, but I wouldn't be surprised if I find at least some loose items. 

Also off the bench, is the Egyptian vase they're surrounding... from Windsword Accessories, which I'm sad to say, no longer seems to have a website.   They have a bunch of Egyptian stuff that Maja's painted over the years, and this was in her queue, but I specifically needed to paint this for a scenario objective for Episode 4.4 of the Pulp Egypt Game (Tomb of the Serpent). 

We're almost finished with the second month of my gaming year, and I'm already at 70 things painted.  It's good enough for Top Five output for the year in the last 15 years since I started tracking these things. Outside of some residual sci-fi groups for Death Planet Iota, and maybe the Great War teddy bears, there's not many larger projects on the top of the lead pile.  

In the Queue - Surprise, suprise, I change my mind like I change my socks (and I always have plenty of socks), We have some Soviet female characters I need to research and base coat.  I also have some one-off Gnome Wars figures for some world-building posts, as well as seven Reaper holidays figures which would be great to post up next month.  After that?  Balancing Death Planet Iota figures with one-off minis for Tomb of the Serpent. 

Project: 350 -  Despite putting in work to remove the backlog, I keep adding to it, with 482 posts in behind the scenes (283 drafts/199 scheduled) still down  from 484(283/201) last week.   Besides some holiday game fodder, I did add placeholders for these special gnome projects, but foresee very little else to whittle away the number.
