That takes me back. I think I got some of these before even reading the books, so didn't know what half of them were. All gone now.
Surprisingly, there weren't many fantasy ranges in 1976   I was struggling then especially pre internet to find other figures. Garrison rings a bell.
Minifigs moved on shortly afterwards to do generic fantasy in a different style. The dwarves were especially nice.

I had some, before I read the book too, but also had Minot's Thane Tostig figures.
The Fen Sprites and Wood Sprites were my first fantasy army.

Don't suppose anyone picked up the moulds for them?

I still pick up the Minot TT figures whenever I can find them but they are getting more and more scarce as time goes on.

After Barry ceased figure production the TT moulds went to Eisenwerk, who never did anything with them. Then when they folded to Pewtercraft, who also did nothing with them. Pewtercraft themselves going out of business in 2002.
Probably safe to assume that the TT figures will not return.  :'(

Cehan Pinheads.

I too favoured Cehan, after all they had THREE intelligent
species:- Pin Head (my favourite), Insectoid & Fishtoid (never
did know how the fishtoid drew that long pistol from its holster
as they only had very small fin/hands.
Maybe a very long tongue ? lol)
My brother liked the Verbotos robot (only a bucket of bolts).

Are these the guys you mean?

Still in business AFAIK.

I purchased from them before the pandemic - but long after 2002!
