Title: The Guide to Mega Miniatures 2001-2017
Post by: MegaMinis on 01 September 2023, 02:46:13 PM
     I finally finished compiling this reference book and it’s up on Amazon.  The book is 331 pages thick, with the first 157 pages containing images of every figure I ever produced, not counting subcontracting work for other companies. I thought there were only 1,500 image but after a recount there are 2,400 figures. A rider on horseback counts as two, but a dragon with wings only counts as one; only because the rider is often interchangeable with other figures. There are roughly 65 pages of D20 stats based on the images. Another 80 pages of Draggles Town comic, and 30 pages of part numbers and what figures went to what buyers. I am certain that there are a few errors which anyone can point out and post on my Mega Miniatures Facebook page. 16 years, piles of images, paperwork, it was simply overwhelming. I could have easily doubled the size of the book but had to say "Enough is enough" and put it to rest. Here is a link to the book on Amazon

Oh, that looks rad.

(Sorry. That's all I have. I'll assume it has a complete listing of all the Julie Guthrie minis you re-issued and won't ask that. :) )

Yes.  All 180 Julie Guthrie figures are depicted.  Unfortunately, they were sold to Center Stage Minis who went out of business and I have no idea where they are currently.

Some of them have been returning via https://rpgelements.com/5th-Field-Fantasy-Miniatures.asp

I don't think they own anything like all of the Guthries which is a shame as I'd like to collect them all!

Thanks for creating the reference guide, I'll certainly be getting a copy once funds permit.

it was long overdue and a mess to go through.  I love miniatures history so the project was inevitable.  Appreciate your support.
