Ral Partha dwarf, caster, and three headed ogre

[72moonglum]

So I'd been working on these for a while now, but didn't post them because they were gifts for some folks and didn't want them to accidentally see them before they got them.

 

First up is the Moe, Larry and Curly three stooges ogre from Ral Partha, the one that Partha was ordered to cease and desist producing because of using the stooges' images without permission.

 

The next one is Ral the Caster, which was based off one of their casters back in the day. They also used that figure in a catalog or two to show size comparisons with other models.

 

The last one is a female dwarf, to my knowledge probably their first female dwarf character, which was only released very briefly and there was never any photo of her in any catalog.  She only showed up as a general line description in the catalog and soon ceased to be....

 

Anyhows, hope you all enjoy!

That's lovely work on the three headed ogre. Hang onto that -- Partha took it out of production, because Norman Maurer, Moe's son in law and manager of the Stooges' merchandising, sicced his lawyers on Partha. Can't find that one any more except on the secondary market!

Too late! Already gave it away!

As always moon you do great work

That ogre made me chuckle, excellent work on all three of these

[Chaoswolf]

Nice job!

 

And those are some pretty neat old school figures that I don't think I've ever seen before.

I've got one of the three headed ogres, though not as beautifully painted as that one...it was a gift from my brother, who painted it as well, which inhibits me from trying it over.

Nice love show toward the old school minis.

Thanks all! In Ral's ladle, it should be metal, but in it, I think I ended up putting in a bit of "lava" because I needed some contrast, couldn't be metal upon molten metal.
