Q: How small is a Red Box Goblin Archer?

[Funghy-Fipps]

A: VERY small. They're certainly very cute, too, but I'm gonna go blind painting 'em!

I was somewhat dissapointed with the diminutive scale of Red Box miniatures.

Agreed. Anyone want to buy a set of Dwarves?

[capthugeca]

They look nice though. How has the sculptor managed to put so much detail into figures that size? 

What is the actual size of the goblins and dwarves?

Funghy, got a pic comparing it to an old GW goblin? Looks small though...

[Christian]

No question that they are beautiful figures, but I thought they would be the same size as his work with Reaper.

I went to http://www.fantization.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=610 and it's circa $6 for one figure?

Just how so they size up?  Are they as small looking as the Goblins?  How tall(eyes/head, doesn't matter which way you measure as long as you tell me.)

Gracias,

Dwarves are 21-22mm tall, just abt the same height as an old GW goblin, but wayyy more slight.

Fantization are thieves. PM me if you're interested in the set, and I'll send pics, codes, and a reasonable price!

I have some of their humans and elves, and are aprox. 28mm to the eyes. The same scale that most of the historical miniatures, but little compared with the Reaper ones.

The pics are a little dark, but maybe they help:

GW Chaos Dwarf, Red Box, GW Dark Elf

Those are all the old, bigger RB Dwarfs. The new ones are smaller.

[Comsquare]

I just have these

Didn't knew the new ones are smaller.
Why?

[LeadAsbestos]

Tre re-thought the scales for the races, and boom! The dwarfs were smaller. He had a big sale to clear the old stock, and is re-sculpting the bigger oldies to fit the new scale.

I've not seen the the Red Box Dwarves in the flesh so can't really comment on their size, but I find that the HelsVakt chappies* (evil Barbarians, basically)  fit in well with the Grenadier/Mirliton Barbarians and the old metal Citadel Marauders (see below).

Phreedh, believe it or not I don't actually have any vintage GW Gobbos   -    - with which to take comparison shots!  If I write that they're slightly smaller than GW LoTR Hobbits will that help any?  Very Rackham/Froud-esque in their appearance I must say.  The 'Boneback' Goblins are larger, however; more in the region of Red Box Dwarves size-wise.

*Is the depicted miniature one of the older, larger sculpts?

[LeadAsbestos]

 the 2 dvergr in the comp shots are the new smaller ones, both of which are in my lot for sale, oddly enough...
