Some of the most imaginative 25 mm. figure sculpting on the market today comes from Tom Loback's Dragon Tooth Fantasy Figures (150 West 26th St., #502, N.Y.C. 10001 ). Probably the most impressive is that of Gothmaug, Lord of the Balrogs, an extremely fierce- looking figure with flowing bat-wing cape, fiery hair, an appropriately evil countenance and wielding a huge battle axe and a fire whip. The figure is extremely well sculptured with a good eye toward detail and anatomy. Particularly impressive is the definition of the scaly skin. I would recommend this figure not only for use in fantasy games but as the centerpiece for a "Tolkenesque"diorama. Other new releases include a rather energetic charging Cyclops weilding a war hammer. The particular stance and muscle definition of the figure is well executed, though on a whole tends to the "chunky" side. The new Winged Snake Demon is a truly spectacular figure, seemingly just conjured from a magic circle, which provides the based stand for the figure and which is engraved with the mystic sign of Solomon, a nice touch of extra detail. Also available are personality figures of a High Elfin Hero-King resplendent in dragon helm and flowing batlike cape. The figure comes in two positions: mounted on a rearing war horse and standing on foot, sword held high. A welcome addition to any "good folk" fantasy army.
