More from the original Wizzards and Warriors pre-blister era – these are not the same figures as the late '70's Wizzards and Warriors orcs. 4 bases, from L-R, then back row:
W-31 Orc with Spear (only 2nd spear is original)
W-30 Orc with Axe (2 lost/broken axes replaced with spears)
W-29 Orc with Bow
W-32 orc with Standard with W-28 Orc with Sword

I like these sorts of orcs. Aren't made anymore, are they? |

I'm afraid that these guys were made for only one year, from 1975 to 1976. When the Wizzards and Warriors line was re-done and placed into blisters(instead of being sold as singles), these guys were discontinued. IMO, they were better than their replacements. |

They look the business. I'd never seen these before! |

Great work, and great old stuff. Thanks for sharing. |

Now, that's what orcs should look like. |

Hard to believe they had that high level of sculpting quality in 1975! Thanks for sharing -- they look fantastic! I'd be proud to put them on my table today. Cheers! |
