The Top Ten Halflings of All Time!!!???

[The Gray Ghost]

Does anyone know if Goblin Factory still sell these or how I could contact them to find out.

I also consider the Copplestone halflings the best.
Reaper do a few good ones and the old Hobby Products Hobbits were also pretty good.

The new hobbits coming out from Westfalia Miniatures will definately be on the list:-

Here are my hobbits. They are a mix of Copplestone, Reaper and Hobby Products.

Hobbits (4)

Unfortunately i cannot remember who make these dead halflings. They are a bit fat and heads a little too big but they are funny and i dont know anyone else doing dead hobbits!

Hobbits (5)

Only good Halfling is a dead Halfling - love it!

On a side note those looking for Grenadier/Copplestone/EM4 or whatever you want to call them style Halflings especially in the UK see ForlornHopeGames on ebay here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261636218736

I have dealt with them before - great service and they normally give some sort of discount deal on next purchase to first time buyers. Hope this helps.

Just also like to add Essex Miniatures - awful, well let me rephrase that ugly, but then they are Halflings, but cheap and actually do not look bad painted. The Essex ones do have a certain inbred country bumpkin charm about them - ponies are tad too small - especially when compared to others. One with two dogs looks worth while - still need to get that one.

At any rate I am going to pitch my Halflings against an army of GW Snotlings which I have painted red as some sort of evil malign Blood Imp army out for some Halfling lard.

I like this little guy from Red Box Games:



And these are surprisingly good. Originally made by Black Tree when they own the LotR license, now available through Scotia Grendel.





And I agree Coplestone's are great!

I wrote an article about best miniatures for Tolkien Hobbits in Other Minds Magazine. You won't find anything new, but you may find it interesting anyway (the magazine is devoted to RPG in Middleearth, no t miniatures so be warned!): Link

yes, it has been like that for several years and all my attempts to contact them have failed.

I use 15mm Irregular Miniature skeletons as undead hobbits in my 28mm skeleton army.



But my friends say they look like undead kids.

Also, I've read The Hobbit a dozen times and you'd be amazed at what I can do with a strap on Bilbo.

I believe the owner of the Goblin Factory is overseas and is returning later this year. That's all I know.
