I thought these were Demonworld figures for a minute. A quick Google search didn't produce anything.

I wonder if they are recasts… I've never heard of Atlas, and the paper insert is obviously a black & white photo-copy of the Demonworld insert.

THe seller sent me an email saying they are demonworld figures but someone told him they were made by Atlas. All the Demonworld figures I have have round bases on the single figures.

Never heard of Atlas. The figs in the pic are DW Troll Guard, unfortunately they look like bad recast of them. The troll guard in my closet have round bases for what its worth.

I've heard of the Miniatures Atlas though…

I'm very suspicious of those photocopied inserts.

There are a few sellers who I won't name here, but who seem to have a near endless supply of certain "rare, OOP" minis that continually show up for auction, either already primed (typically white) or with the bottom markings of the figures different than the original MFR.

That sort of suspicion is why I only sell multiples of stuff when they're still in the blister. Not my fault Armadillo Games gave me a kajillion of that first LE102 Traitor Legionnaire blister. I've been selling one ever few months for years now and I'm only now running out.

Of course, I might be an evil genius who's mastered the art of forging 80's-era GW blister packs, eh? :)
