Cool! "As a continuation in my search for lost lead here is the Minifigs Sword & Sorcery foot range sculpted by the late Dick Higgs. Where there is a space I need it! Further photos can be seen on the Lost Minis WIKI…"
Much more here

I still have a few of those in my collection, and they still get used, probably the 1st metals that I bought all those years ago when I was a schoolkid  |

Wow, I remember the Minifigs fantasy figs from the 1970's – I think the pig faced orcs are back in production and some bits from their other fantasy ranges |

The Zamporan's got recruited into my Middle Earth armies – and the monsters and civilians were really useful for D&D (back before it was AD&D !). it's nice to see how good they look treated as "modern figures" – the Great white ape is lovely. A funny aspect was that everything was 25mm tall – even the giants! My cyclops got recruited into a 6mm HoTT Greek Myth army, and looks pretty good towering over the little people. Minifigs are bringing back some of their classic fantasy/SF ranges : link but nothing from the S&S range (yet!). |

Those bring back a lot of nostalgia. One of my earliest hobby memories is staring at a painted collection of the pig-faced orcs in the local hobby shop window. How I wanted those figures! Their hobgoblins were also excellent. I wish those would become available again. |

Happy you enjoyed them bringing at the same time good memories to you my friends! (smile) Amicalement

When these were first released at GenCon, Steve Carpenter of Minifigs USA accepted the challenge of Ral Partha to a fantasy game, the winner getting to smash the loser's army with a real hammer! Steve and I were SYW gamers and never actually participated in a fantasy game, but what the heck, Fantasy was starting to pay the bills in the late 1970's. Minifigs led by a converted NapoleonOrc won the day, as I remember. The hammer was reserved for a couple figures. My last fantasy game, although these figures still inhabit my dark ages armies. |

I'm short on the SS range; I never had many to start with, and I think there is one, a Stygian priest of some sort, left in my collection. I've got a handful of the MEs from the earliest phase of my collection, and have acquired a few more in deals for lots of figures this year. The pig face orcs were from the D&D line, a couple of years after the SS and ME figures… |

Wow, memories. Definitely do recall these in the hobby store case. Retail maybe 20-25 cents per figure in those days? Think I do have one or two unpainted in a bag of unpainteds. |

5 years later, Minifigs have most of the range released, but no mtd and a few other chaps not about, apparently they are still looking for the molds amongst the many they have! I am building up S&S chaps for a retro project finishing off what I started in the 70s! Tally Ho! |
cleans up more skeletons.
