From the dusty reaches of yesteryear
Sifting through layers of dust
Digging deeper into the history of my inherited minis I’m finding a bit more about the sculptors involved. There was a group listed for the stable that included both Sandra Garrity and Julie Guthrie. Both presently have a large body of work in the offerings from Reaper minis. Mark Copplestone hails from the bunch as well and currently runs his own business offering his creations independently in different scales. Honestly, the Wikipedia article is great for a jumping off point before falling further down the rabbit hole.
I’ve trolled the Internet for a short while and come in with a good haul of info to cross reference. According to the Grenadier catalog from 1987, I’m finding figures in the collection that seem to be from the sets Female Adventurers (2018 Dragon Lords range) and Fantasy Knights (6008 Fantasy Lords range). I’ve yet to identify others but it is a work in progress.
An interesting side note is that the much sought after metal Demigorgon miniature (102 Fantasy Lords range), the centerpiece for the D&D game in the Netflix series Stranger Things which caused a spike in sale prices, was on display to oggle in black and white.
