For a fantasy RPG terrain project I wanted Trolls Ogres and maybe some Orcs. I thought others might want to see what's out there.
The various Privateer Press Trollblood figures are not what I'm looking for, and I haven't seen any decent D&D trolls, although I wanted a "classic RPG fantasy" Troll or Ogre. The LOTR trolls and Foundry stuff were out, for being too small. No 25mm for me! Also bugbears, ropers, beholders, carrion crawlers and various D&D monsters were out, to keep the list down.
Troll Forged Miniatures makes various monsters and trolls, from budding sculptors;

Stonehaven makes a massic Troll on a 60mm base. Not quite what I'm looking for, but others may dig him; link
Black Tree Design makes Ogres, Trolls and various monsters;
link
WitchHunter.net covers various Trolls; link
Basicks makes a Big Troll, which looks to be a LOTR troll by another name;
link
Hersy makes Trolls, the dungeon Troll is particularly nice:
link
Reaper makes various Trolls, some of which are quite nice.

Citadel once made the C24 monsters; link
Citadel once made a Giant Hill Troll, now with scale creep he doesn't look so giant; C31 – Giant Hill Troll
Citadel once made FTT – Fantasy Tribe Trolls; link
This Oldhammer blog post talks about the old Jes Goodwin sculpts:

Harlequin made a giant forest Troll; link
I have this figure and he's a bear to put together. I may may put him back together with pins. He's certainly clasic and retro-cool enough.
Citadel makes the now-classic Stone Trolls
link
Citadel made the now-classic river Trolls
link
I may get these just because they're so classic and I don't own them.
Games Workshop now makes new plastic Rover Trolls; link
They're much more detailed, but lose the charm of the old metal models.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for as far as Orcs, but…
The classic Orc regiment is very retro-cool and very 70s fantasy-ish
link
GW made a million metal orcs as well.

The 1993 plastic orc warrior and Orc arrer regiment boys, they're cheap as chips on ebay

I may use these guys purely because 1993-1995 was *the* year for me as far as fantasy gaming, and they came with Warhammer Quest.
Warhammer 6th edition box set came with monopose Orcs that were almost one-piece models that are cheap on ebay and make good unit fillers.

GW's newest Orcs are sorta old, but they are multi-piece
link
Black Tree Design makes various Orcs
link
Reaper Miniatures makes Bones Orcs. What they lack in pose variety, the price more than makes up for;
link
link
They also make a prepainted version; link
They also make Orc Champion models which are very big;
link
Reaper makes 70s-esque fantasy Orcs, but they are metal and there is no pose variety
link
Wargames Factory makes a plastic orc box set, although they are very small, too small for my purposes, although others may dig them.
link
Otherworld makes classic pig-faced Orcs;
Hasslefree makes Orcs, and I hate to say it, but they're barely worth looking at;
link
I feel bad, but it's obvious the guy just sculpts what he wants, and that fine if you're doing human PC heroes, but for Orcs it's not so good. He'd be much better off sculpting 10 bodies, 10 heads and 10 shields you could use as RPG figs or unit builders. But I can't begrudge the guy for doing what inspires him.
Mantic make various Orc figures. I may give them a try, just to give them my business:

cleans up more skeletons.
