Photo of products on the shelf

It is from these stocks that new orders are filled (both catalog orders from consumers, and larger orders from stores and distributors).

In the back were two more rooms, separated by a vending machine full of chips. In one room was the table where products (such as medals and counters) are hand-painted with colored epoxies, then placed on the racks to dry (which takes at least a day).


I used to work at a company which was next door to a Goodwill thrift store (a place where used goods are sold to benefit charity), and I would often drop in on my lunch hour to see what was available. It was not unusual for me to find some very good deals -- including the day that I bought a like-new copy of HeroQuest for US$5!

It was also here that I purchased some "golden oldies," boxed sets of fantasy 25mm figures from the earliest days of the Dungeons &Amp; Dragons craze. Being a gamer rather than a collector, I painted them up and put them to good use.

To my surprise, I found several of the same figures -- the exact same equipment, the exact same poses -- available in the Dungeon Dwellers portion of the Reaper catalog.

Mike Athey explained to me that Reaper has been able to buy the masters for some of the "golden oldies," including part of the original line of D&D figures from Heritage, and bring them out at discount prices as part of the Dungeon Dwellers product line. Also in this product line are some figures which were sculpted years ago but never released, as well as figures from new sculptors who aren't yet advanced enough to do work for the Dark Heaven line (Reaper's premiere fantasy 25mm figures).
