I was looking through an old Dragon the other day and saw Dragontooth's ad for their giant (pictured above). It made me curious to see the rest of their line - I found
another couple of ads (below) and then
Dave's Yahoo group with its great collection of catalogs and pictures. The LGS never had any of these when I was a kid...I think I would recognize and remember the blister pack. I get a sense that they're pretty uncommon (I couldn't find any on eBay). A lot of the designs are kind of trippy. Dig this giantess
Big Meg for example. There's a lot of photos
here too - apparently they put out some decent
pig faced orcs.

That giant mini was very inspirational to me. Years later when I wrote up a giant for GURPS 4e, I carefully calculated the giant's strength to ensure that it could lift - and throw - a cow.
Cool walk down memory lane!
Yep. Big Meg scared the hell out of me but I did get me some of the elephant headed demons in the day. A minis company that knew the importance of dungeon props, too!
I remember those ads well.
I still have a few of those, including Cumulus the Storm Giant, which is titanic.
I wish I had purchased at least one DT mini back when I used to read those same ads in Dragon. The giants, in particular, are miniatures I would love to add to my collection. Not gonna happen anytime soon, but hey, you never know...
DT have a certain something that fires my imagination. I've picked up lots over the years - they never came over to the UK to any degree (Asgard initially imported some early smaller pieces) so I only discovered them about 8 years ago or so. My Yahoo Group is a quiet one but anyone is welcome to join and share memories - I would love to hear anything about the gold plated giftware.
I finally managed to pick up a couple of the gold plated DT pieces - pics on the blog;
