Brilliant!
I do like those haggises or should that be haggii?
I'm sure they will also fit into many a scifi scenario too - a bit like Star Trek Tribbles but with a lot more attitude.
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

 lol Nice one!

They are great figures and go on my list of favourite Dwarves, alongside GW's Lord Of The Rings, Hasslefree's Grymn and Bob Olley's ZZ Top Scrunts.

great stuff, Mike!

Anybody ever seen the classic '80's sci-fi: Critters. Those haggis would be perfect!

Are those not the Lowland or Glen Haggis (Haggius Ambulatorus)?  These have legs of equal length and though slower than their Highland cousins are more adaptable. 

The Highland Haggis is found in two species easily identified by their leg configuration.  These Haggis have one leg longer than the other so that they can run around the hills keeping their ballance.  This means that they are incredibly fast running with the long leg downhill but they are seriously uncomfortable if they have to revrse course and run the other way around the hill or mountain.   They are the Mountain or Ben Haggis - Haggius Sinister (long left leg) and Haggius Dexter (long right leg).  All species, incidentally taste slightly different giving rise to the myth that each butcher has his own secret ecipe.  McSween's Haggis is a famous specially domesticated breed.  All are improved with a dram or two of single malt whisky.
