The rise and fall of the high elves. The state of models for elves.

Some of the Vendel figures were nice, but with Sgt Major Miniatures closing I suppose it is uncertain what is going to happen with these miniatures.  

I've had the idea of doing a Tolkien (First Age) based project rattling around the back of my mind for a long time, and had always figured the Vendel line would be one of my first sources for the elves, dwarfs, and orcs. A shame they're out of production now.

"I believe these Scotia Grendel miniatures were made with the Lord of the Rings in mind (someone more knowledgeable may be able to correct me, but I think they did have a licence for Lord of the Rings)."

They purchased the "Legends of the Realm" range from BTD. BTD had a licence for Lord of the Rings figures but it expired and things were renamed.

Thank you for the reconnection -- I'm after a second regiment of them, couldn't remember whose figures they are and was looking at the wrong Elfs because I hadn't remembered Scotia Grendel has TWO different Elf ranges.

Yes these are the old Harlequin models

I do like some of the Elf characters from this range. The Galadriel and Celeborn are very nice.
