I would like to add to my collection of Ottermans and Highland Badgers. They were produced by Off the Wall Armies (aka Gray Cat Castings). I am also interested in acquiring some of the Romulan Wolves produced by Off the Wall Armies. Does anyone know where I can find any of these figures? I've searched eBay but only found a few Highland Badgers but not Ottermans or Romulan Wolves. Any information would be appreciated. TIA. |

I'd put a word in with Noble Knight, so they'll keep an eye out and let you know when (and if) they turn up. Keep checking eBay, and keep checking here. Might take a look at etsy, and at 3D printing generally: you might find a reasonable match. And in keeping with your earlier post, this is much of the problem. You don't want old fantasy figures as such: you want very specific old fantasy figures. The children handling the estate don't even know what the armies were called, let alone catalog numbers. Didn't your father warn you about drawing to fill an inside straight? |

I believe in the old Wayne Gretzky saying: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Unlike poker, I don't lose anything by asking here. |

Oh, I'd have done the same thing--have done so, without success--but it undermines your fantasy about new production hitting a wall. Even if older figures were preferred, we have no efficient mechanism for linking current buyers to people selling off estates. If I weren't being pigheaded about it, it would be faster and maybe easier to build a complete new Rohirrim army than to track down the two or three figures I'm short from my 1970's one. |

I have just inherited a recently deceased friend's lead mountain. I have seen some Highlander's in it but I want them for myself. The mountain is large and unsorted so may have Ottermen and/or Romulans in it. If I find any you may have them. Give me contact information and I'll get in touch if I find any. my contact "x42brown@yahoo.co.uk" x42 |

Alternative Armies also have a line of Otterman figures that might work for you and they are currently running 20% discount. They also offer free shipping to the US if you order a large enough quantity:https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/the-otharmann-empyre |

Sadly, Alternative Armies does not have a line of Otterman figures. They have their "Otharmann", which are dogs, not wolves. And they are more late 19th Cen Egyptians rather than earlier Ottomans. |
