Vintage, Custom Cast, Der Kriegspieler - Fantastiques
Lord of the Rings Figure
This rare OOP miniature is from the Custom Cast, Der
Kriegspieler - Fantastiques - 25mm SPECIAL PERSONALITY SETS #1055 The Foes.
The Custom Cast, Fantastiques line was one of the first series of minatures
Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's ' The Lord of the Rings' making it attractive
to both Tolkien memorabilia collectors and wargamers. This figure bears
the Red Eye of Sauron's troops on his shield and rides an impressive, twisted
steed. Crowolf states "They were manufactured around 1975 and were the
first fantasy miniatures I ever owned. My memory is that this was suppossed
to be "the Mouth of Sauron" but I have only been able to confirm that he
was part of the "foes" set." He has been repainted and mounted on
a plastic Games Workshop calvary base by award winning artist, Crowolf.
It is signed and dated by the artist. The mounted figures in this series
were at the large end of the 25mm scale and would fit in well with a Warhammer
Chaos Army. This figure is around 50mm high. We may offer more of these
figures from "Crowolf's Crypt" in the future. Contact us for informative
links on the history of these early miniatures. This
miniature was offered for sale on ebay but did not meet its reserve, so
we will consider offers for it.
