Great old-school boxes of awesome D&D figures arrive!
See these boxes at the Mirliton site [CLICK].
When I started my retro nostalgic BasEx 1e D&D project, I knew I wanted to get my old figs painted up, and add some new figs to the few I had [about 30]. Some of them are Heritage and some Grenadier. Heritage is gone, but Grenadier lives on! It was taken over by an Italian group called Mirliton, SG, and clearly the whole thing is a labor of love for them. I eventually decided to purchase some from the line of "Fantasy 25-28mm Dragon Lords" as they look great in the pics and are true originals. Prices were a little higher than for some figure lines, averaging around $5 a figure [or in figure equivalents for large figures] after all shipping, etc was paid.
Ordering process was painless, Mirliton has great communication, uses FEDEX and it all arrived in about 10 days. The Purchase order came with it:
EDIT: great question on metal quality. The metal can still be bent and shaped, but it is a lot less soft than the original lead of the old days. I'd guess there is no lead in it, but it's a pewter - tin mix.
And here are some pics of them cleaned and primed:
Mr. Molotov?
Can definitely recommend the figures and the seller. In a gaming world where a lot of the sellers are part-time hobby projects themselves, it is refreshing to get great service at a reasonable price of around $5 a figure shipped to USA.
What are YOU waiting for??

Ohhhh - they’re nice. I particularly like that 2 headed monster.
ReplyDeleteIn recent years I’ve picked up fair few miniatures with 2 heads, hoping to gather enough for a Hordes of the Things army. I don’t suppose that casting has a specific name/title does it? I’ve had a quick look on eBay but can’t see anything (but maybe I’m not typing in the most appropriate term for the search).
Cheers,

I'd visit Mirliton's website and see if they sell it separately. I got mine in the box set, but most of the boxes have multiple formats for the figs. Especially if a model is a 'big' model. I wouldn't bother with eBay, it's gone down the pooper completely and become a means for the unscrupulous to create artificially high prices on garage sale junk.
