Honestly, if you're shipping direct (I understand not being able to sell to retailers), I don't think anyone would mind ordering them sans-box.  I don't know if that's an option for you, but I assume you use Renedra who's at least local.

I assume boxes exist for shelf-appeal and protecting contents while being shipped around to retailers, etc.  I'd have zero issue receiving sprues in a bag wrapped in bubble-wrap, etc.

Been working on your excellent plastic Dwarves, then I will have to get your goblins, then I’ll get these brilliant elves, thanks Oathmark.



Those dwarves look fantastic! I love how you're blending different manufacturer's sets together. I'd be very interested in following this project if you made a thread for it.

I really like the hooded heads on the elves.

I think that's right.  Just sell in a bag without the boxes.  I'm sure people will buy 'em.   :)

They look really nice. I wish they were scaled larger, rather than to match GWs 25mm lotr range. But the die has been cast on that account, so I'll just say again that they look very nice for what they are.

I don't think they are that size. They are more a proper 28mm than the 35mm that GW now does.

That's what he's saying though, just...worded oddly I think.

He wishes they were larger - more akin to GW Warhammer scale, instead of the 25-28mm "proper" scale which they are (i.e. the scale that GW does LOTR stuff, which is much smaller than their AoS/Warhammer lines, etc.)

I was also a little disappointed with their stature but only because I was hoping to use tge bare heads with Victrix celt bodies but they would have ended up as pinheads. I just assumed they were scaled more like D&D elves who are shorter than the average human, rather than like GW elves who are taller?

Good looking elves! No need to have fancy packets considering the time we live in, simple cardboard/plastic boxes or plastic bags are okay, just as back in the old days. Would Oathmark human spear arms fit into these, so as to get some wood elf spearmen? Also: Gunner's dwarves look awesome!
