| Set of fantasy playset figures (all photos in grid by irbaboon) |
What: Fantasy-themed plastic figures reminiscent of the fantasy figures made by DFC. These were sold together in a playset that also included weapons and castle pieces. There are a couple warriors/barbarians in addition to a few creatures, including a pretty cool scorpion man, a winged demon and a guy with an animal head that looks kinda goofy. I recently learned that there were a number of figures produced in this set, which can be seen in the bottom photo above courtesy of LittleRubberGuys.com member irbaboon, and that they were sold in a variety of ways under a variety of names. They are also related to these plastic skeleton warriors.
When: I picked these up in the late 1990s/early 2000s. I'm not sure if that's when they were first produced or if they existed in a different capacity before then.
Where: U.S. (at least). I got the playset at a dollar/bargain-type store called Amazing Savings. I'm not sure in what other stores they were sold.
Who: Released in various ways by various companies, including Polotoy and Schylling.
No, no, no not DFC. I should know I collect them! (I'm the guy that posted the first comment about the DFC Figures) They look so much like Toyco to me, a DFC BOOTLEG.
ReplyDeleteYou must have missed the part where I wrote "reminiscent of fantasy figures made by DFC." I didn't say they were actually DFC figures. :)
DeleteI don't know if its bad form to reply on older posts but... The scorpion guy and the dragon bears a striking resemblance to game pieces for the Dragon Strike game circa 1993 http://boardgamegeek.com/images/boardgame/1149/dragon-strike
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! Wow, it's clear they based these figures off those game pieces.
DeleteI painted these and used them in my 54mm fantasy medieval wargames. I had units of devils, flying and non flying. My Teutonic knights dealt with them!
ReplyDeleteI love these figures and they are from a company called Polotoy/Schylling and were made in the 1990s. I do have some of these figures but i would love to own some more Warriors,Demons and Goblins. Would you be willing to sell me any?

The two guys with big cat-like ears look something like the Toyco knockoffs of DFC ogres, but a little less crude. So, knock-offs of knock-offs!
ReplyDeleteLove the scorpion man. Are these in the 40-54 mm range?
