Seems like the reg thread is locked bc of personal drama. Until the normal thread is re-opened we can use this as a place holder.
So this might just be me, but I've never been too fond of crowds in pic feds, esp when the audience is just shirtless wrestling figs. Don't get me wrong, having an audience adds a lot to feds but I find them distracting if not done right.
Does anyone know of any toys that are just "normal" people? I'm thinking I might try to pick up a ton of "normal" people to create an audience.

Wouldn't the "Un-Un-Official Chat Thread" technically BE the "Official Chat Thread?"  As for your question, I guess I see your point, but I'd take a good attempt at a crowd over no attempt at all. I know Micro makes great use of the "Heroes" line of figures. They just look like regular people. Wars |

I once used my LOTR figures as audience.
But then realised having Gandalf stood behind the rail looked pretty awkward.

I'm thinking about this for my new fed. I used to use spare figures dressed up in whatever I had lying around, but I sold most of my collection last autumn, so I'm really starting from scratch again. I used to just go no crowd as well, so I'm not sure what I wanna do this time.

A lot of stuff to point of here... a) Reece, how do you expect anybody to enjoy the show when Gandalf is yelling "None shall pass!" and blocking the entrance? b) It's incredible that we now have an Un-Un-Official thread due to the drama. c) derek, great initiative bringing out the subject of the crowds, as this has always made me wonder what is better, a crowded arena or a crowdless one. I was surprised to go back to watch the only few PWF episodes online and see that the Guru of Pic Fedding did not actually use a crowd at all. Micro has used Heroes figures, since none of those guys have a gig anymore anyway (lol) and there are many other ways you could go if you are creative, ever thought of making a paper craft or clay crowd? (I did, I'm just too lazy to be creative or proactive about it). You could also take pictures of your suited/dressed figures and print out some clones to put in the background!  |

Wars was right Heroes is a great series as for some of the Rocky figures, shirted WWE/TNA figs and the starman alternate figure from DCUC are pretty good but I just kinda use whatever I got I used to use super heroes when I planned my original return to wfigs but then my are of awesomeness became a cat area =P but yeah I'm trying to get those boards this weekend so I can film "Million Dollar Wrestling a Dibiase production" |

Man, those look super cool! I still havent gotten around to a 'crowd' for my fed, but I want to use these as a crowd and/or normal people for dioarmas. I'm surprised no one has ever used them before. |

Yikes, we're on a new unofficial chat thread now!
Anyway, regarding normal looking figures...Check out any figures that are based on TV shows or movies. I lucked out and found a lot of the entire Heroes collection dirt cheap on eBay. Once I had those figures, I slowly added more to my collection. Harry Potter, Nightmare on Elm Street, Twilight, Splinter Cell, Jonah Hex, Pirates of the Caribbean, House of a 1000 Zombies, Kill Bill, and the Devil's Rejects have all provided a cool variety of people for my crowd. Just do a search for either Neca or Mezco, they're the top two producers of movie/TV figures. I hope this helps!

I like the Bossman figure, esp since he comes with 3 faces so you can guy multiple ones just spread out. Its too bad they're just like 4 figs tho Anyway, regarding normal looking figures...Check out any figures that are based on TV shows or movies.

Might actually go to the flemarket by me if they still do that. Haven't been to one in years, don't know how many toy venders they got. But should be an interesting walk tru |

Just do an image search on your favorite browser for stuff such as "papercraft" or "papercraft office" and you will see some really cool stuff. |

If you're going to have a crowd it needs to look right. Some people just throw together a few old wrestling figures at one side of the ring and call it a crowd, which doesn't really look good. Obviously Micro's is mint because of the barricades and the whole thing looks like a proper arena should.
