Help identify this mini!

[FATDRAGONGAMES]

Can anyone help identify this miniature? I thought it was an old Ral Partha giant fig, but I couldn't locate it online anywhere or on the Iron Wind metals site. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The figure is about 3.25" tall.

Looks like an old AD&D 1e hill giant. Molds for the AD&D minis got destroyed looong ago once partha lost the TSR mini rights.

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought Grenadier did the 'official' AD&D minis? I'm pretty sure this was either Ral Partha or Citadel as that is almost all I bought back then.

Grenadier had the rights to the miniatures from '77 to '80 or thereabouts, IIRC. Then it was Ral Partha who got the nod. TSR was making their own minis for a while as well.

I'm about 99.9% sure that it's a mountain giant from Ral Partha.

Just because it's not on the Iron Winds site doesn't mean it's not Ral Partha.

To note, I used to work at RP as a factory monkey but don't recall ever casting that particular giant.

Knew it was from Ral Partha, just the wrong branch of giant.
