Help remembering an old giant...

[Simlasa]

Hi,
Recently, a memory surged into my feeble brain of an ad I saw, probably in an old issue of Dragon, for some figures of giants. This would have been late 70s, early 80s.
I don't remember who made them though.

What I do remember is that they looked fairly large... with big heads and, IIRC, big forearms ala Popeye. They were a bit cartoony. Given the poses on them, I'm pretty sure they must have been multi-part kits.
There may actually have been only one model with variant heads/arms. One head had a horned helmet. The figures in the ad were painted, though I'm not sure the pictures were color.
They had a lot of character to them.

I've searched Stuff Of Legends but can't spot them.
I'm sure they weren't Ral Partha or Grenadier... this was before the Giants' Club stuff.
When I was a kid I desperately wanted them but had no clue about how to go about getting them.

If I could figure out what they were I could start combing Ebay for them (though recent searches turned up nothing that resembled them).

Thanks for any suggestions,
K

Op, nevermind... found them... Dragontooth giants.
Memory glorified them a bit, made them larger and more elaborate.
Still... give me something else to add to the Want pile.

Never heard of Dragontooth before, but will indeed never forget from now on

Dragontooth had some of the most creative sculpts of their era. There's an interview with founder Tom Loback in this issue of Fantasy Modeling:

I have one of those primed in black and missing the pot and truncheon ladle.  I'm willing to part with it if we can reach an agreement.
