Minifigs have brought the Forest Orcs from the Valley of the Four Winds range back into production. They always looked more troll-like than orc-like to me but I still think they are great figures and it is good to see them back again: link
And for those VFW collectors out there, the Small Fairy with Tree is available again and for just £1.25 GBP (I've seen it go for silly money on eBay)

I recall at the time an unkind review which compared them to ballet dancers – but I liked them. It's was then, a perhaps even more so now, a risky thing to do something different. These didn't fit the Lord of the Rings / D&D Orc stereotype, but they had a character all their own. Might get some to use as Thane Tostig Armoured Sprites. |

The little fairy I will have to get again. I have one with a circle of smaller fairies as a horde of sprites base and would like more. x42 |
