Hello, everyone.
I have had this demon miniature since the 80's. The base seems to say 1983. I can't ID the manufacturer or the miniature's name. For some reason, I think it was supposed to be Orcus, although it doesn't look much like Orcus to me. Does anyone know? |

It looks like the bad guy Calibos from the 1981 Clash of the Titans movie. It also looks very Bob Olley like. |

I agree! I think that's why I bought him. |

So I guess the question is did someone in the early 80s release a Clash of the Titans range or the did the sculptor just do as a one off using the film as a bit of inspiration? The base is unusual to being hollow underneath an not solid like most were. |

I have another miniature of Ra that I bought at the same time. Same kind of base. Could it be from a range of gods? It's frustrating because there's no identifying marks for the manufacturer. I know a guy who knows Bob Olley pretty well. Maybe Bob will take a look. |

I used to work for Perth Pewter / Medieval Productions. This really looks like a Stephen Tofano piece but the marking on the bottom doesn't match. |

Doc mcb for the win it is indeed a superior miniature. PraetorianHistorians instincts were right to it is sculpted by Stephan Tofano Kudos chaps. Scroll down the page a bit an you will find him.

Looks like my ex mother-in-law. |

I have most of those Superior characters, and they are really excellent. True 25mm, unfortunately. |

I went scrolling through the Superior page and found several miniatures I've been trying to place for several years. I thought they were lizard folk of some sort and here they are listed as Orcs(!!). Thank you so much for the link. |

It is possible that the sculptor and I had the same third-grade teacher, and he made that miniature as part of his PTSD therapy. It is a surprising good likeness, at least in spirit and temperament. |

Scrolling through those miniatures brings back memories. I think I helped cast, trim, and acid etch every single one of them while working at Medieval Productions/Perth. |
