Sometimes I consider getting appropriate miniatures for the characters of my players in the BFRPG campaign I've been DMing for the last year or so, but finding figures that are  "just right" is pretty tricky.

We had so much fun, laughing and joking, with outrageous boasting and comedy accents aplenty.
