I'd like an ID on these two. I went through most of the Stunties Wiki and couldn't find the dwarf (though lots of pics are missing for some manufacturers) and dunno where to start with the orc. Both have integral bases, but I don't believe either had any base markings. The dwarf seems like an early 1980's piece and if I had just had to take a shot in the dark the orc seems like a Ral Partha piece. Given the quality of both I'm surprised I'm having this much trouble finding where they came from. |

No idea. Had a look. May have another. How high are they? How a bout another angle or two, especially on the orc. That may help. Best guess, Bob and Harry. |

The orc is from RAFM and is still available along with a decent number of units and poses. I don't know about the dwarf, could be Lance and Laser or Metal Magic or any of the many small companies that have come and gone. Might even be a RAFM piece but I doubt it. Bob Murch has a very distinctive, blocky but clean style. |

I think the shape of the dwarf's base might indicate Metal Magic, they had very consistently circular bases that fit into their recessed plastic bases. |

Thanks for the comments. @The H Man: I might be able to do more pics later, working on our website right now. :) I shoulda said, but they are both on 25mm bases, so are both close to 25mm tall. The dwarf is one of the tallest I currently have painted. @David Johansen: Thanks for the ID on the Orc. I'd been looking at RAFM for awhile and I just don't know how I missed that. And yeah, Metal Magic is a likely source for the dwarf, I'll give them a harder look. It seems unlikely that it's in a line still available anywhere though. |

Did you check out lostminiswiki? |

Quite a bit actually. They do have lot's of gaps though. |
