Very cool! Thanks for the comparison shot. I'd love him on my table! I might have to look for that toy myself.

Game ON!
Nyrf


It is a toy from "Big lots". It might also apear at KB toys, macfruegals, and other el cheapo stores. Chap-Mei made it, same manufacturer as the "Police Vs. Bad Guyz", "Dino quest", and a few other toy lines. The line is the second fantasy line. first one is a pre dark age, hyborian esque [tech free]he-man rip off line [the he man looks PERFECT for the 3.5e MM Titan], This one is a knight in armor, castle and dragon line. This guy has a skull for a head, but, i like him better closer to a ring wraith.

If you can't find him, i have found him in box sets that run from 6 to 9 dollars in my area, let me know if you want me to buy it for you, I can take checks & money orders or even paypal.
Al i ask is price, sales tax and shipping.

the staff is nealy done.

I made a baseing mix of sand, brown ink, & non instant white rice. I used the main mix on the death giant's base. I added black ink and some cheap fake snow to the mix for the base of a hairy drunk troll toy from the Berserk -anime- [factory paint job spashed with a fake blood mix to look like wine ]

My bits boxes are pretty sane, just random junk and minis from across the timeline of D&D shored up with lots of odd toy chunks. A few chicken bones are the only off the wall things i have.

Bases, on the other hand, ceramic and glass tile, Huge[long] oval bases thanks to Mage Knight mounted figures, 800+poker chips, hundreds of metal washers, Upwords tiles, canned food lids[thanks to saftyCan!]

Now using food colouring to paint with, that is odd. But i like the results mixed with a clear gloss.

Don't forget, this fig is 'off the rack', just from a discount store.

Soon it will be complete, then on to more horrors.

Cool, best of luck. Let me know if you spot a cheap arctic explorer toypack with a "huge" wolf. I only have found that in a $9 box so far. Also If you see that line with the mammoth box set, do let me know.

I was hoping to find more of the wizard count myself. I found the knights of his line at a Big lots in naperville, IL in the $0.99 single packs along with the "beast raider" line. Aformentioned Titan, orc, orange thing with horns & purple bodied skeletor rip off. The store had the Wizard count & blue dragon $6 box, just not wizard by himselfin the $1 pack.

Here is a page of what the 'beast raider' line has in it

Roper
Resin cast by "ptlee"

I did not do the sculpt justice, but here it is.

Question:Are this snake's fangs a bit short & should they be replaced?. I would likely use needles or thumb tack tips. Should I go for it or are the fangs long enough? The head and neck in the pic is about 2 inches. Overall with the fig's coiled body, it will make a nice huge* serpent.
