Figure id: Chunky Hobbits

[Loop]

Hello,

I just saw these hobbits posted by Warlock Minis on Instagram and neither the owner or I recognise them?

Does anybody know the manufacturer?

I don’t think they are the old GW ones, Mithril or Harlequin (now Scotia Grendel) and I can’t think of anyone else that had the Lord of the Rings license?

Thanks

original Citadel LORD OF THE RINGS line.  Frodo in his Mithril coat, Bilbo carrying the Red Book, Merry as a knight of Rohan, Pippen as Guard of the Citadel and of course Sam with the bag he called a hat on.

Thanks Lou, that was quick!

around 1985 ... i was young 

I was born in 1985. I didn’t realise the Fellowship in my 1992 catalogue wasn’t the original set. I wonder why they changed style since these older figures match their on Warhammer halflings much more closely?
