You find stuff like this all the time in those "head shop" stores that like to sell Faery posters, occult statues, gems, wind catchers etc., etc.
I remember seeing such "pewter" recasts of various companies fantasy stuff all the time.
Thats exactly what they are... the " RPG miniatures" are just a side line... lol

I'm sorry but those dragons remind me of the pewter figures with gemstone eyes holding crystal balls - the ones you used to see in head shops, nick-nackery shops, and at gas stations.
Sorry no.

Sorry no.
Aside from the fact that they are GW's fantasy 1st and 2d edition? That is exactly what they are.
Those figures are a joke from a different era.
It wasn't funny then either.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |
