I seem to remember a few years ago that someone had picked up the rights to the old 25mm Minifigs AD&D gnoll and pig orc figures. Does anyone remember who it was? |

Minifigs (Caliver) are still advertising the pig-faced orcs themselves – link |

Minifigs actually made two different ranges of both. There were the fantasy figures from the 1970s and the "World of Greyhawk" from the early 80s. Which have they released? |

It's the official Dungeons and Dragons range :
And – wow ! They've brought back the SF ranges – some from both ! (mostly the 2nd range) link And the Mythical Earth Man-Orc, and the wizard! Great stuff. |

The World of Greyhawk line was actually repackaged Aurrola Rocco (sp) and a few VFW figures along with a few new figures. |

Thanks. Good to see the pigs are back. I could have sworn that I saw someone making the gnolls again . . . |

Ok – Otherworld miniatures makes updated versions of the Monster Manual pig orcs and gnolls. I call it "Neostalgia". Having something the way it SHOULD have been, not the way that it was. |

Has anybody painted up some of the Minifig orcs? I'd love to see painted versions! I think the old figures often had a charm to them that is lacking in modern offerings. |
