These were released by Timmee Toys in the 1960s and are very hard to find.  I don't own any of them.  All of the pictures below are from ebay auctions.  I cannot be sure about the size but Timmee was making mostly 60mm figures at the time and they are probably in that scale.  

These figures were made as cheap competition to sets like Chap Mei's Wizards Magic and the Darkness Warriors.  About the same three inch scale.  These look cheap but still have their charm.

I don't think these are actually hobbit skeletons but I think I might use them as such.

I learned a hard lesson with these figures.  That lesson is always specify the color you wanted them to be printed in.  I did not and they sent me figures printed in translucent green which sucks.  You cannot see the detail in the figures because of the translucent material.  I did not specify because I never imagined that an option this bad was even possible.  What moron would do this?  They also sent me a set of hobgoblins in translucent green that are so bad I will never even post them.  I was so angry when I received them that I wanted to pitch them right into the trash but I spent way too much to do that.  The one gray figure I have is so cool that I almost cannot stand it.  Learn from my mistake and do not let them ever give you translucent figures.  They are around 70mm.

I took pictures of the translucent figures in very low light and that is the best I could do.  Pictures in sunlight show absolutely zero detail and just look like pale green blobs.   

I don't know how makes these but they come from China and are about 65mm.

LOD has produced two sets of alien and human fighters.  They are both full of well detailed and very cool poses.  The first set is your classic "gray" aliens and the second set has squid faced aliens and space marines.  

Set 1 - The Grays.

Set 2 - The Squid Face Aliens.

I found this at Walmart and was surprised by how much I like the figures.

Beleriand toy Soldiers ("BTS") just keeps making more and more amazing figures.  The magi figures make good druids.  

TihonFigureN has a 60mm figure set based on the TV version of the Witcher.  

Until recently, you could buy extra and leftover figures made for various tabletop games directly from China on ebay with either free shipping or extremely cheap shipping.  Most are made in smaller scales but I found a bunch of random figures that work with toy soldiers.  I don't know which games these figures were originally made to be played with.  I don't believe that the sellers know either.   
These are all very high quality both in terms of the sculpts and the production value.  

Publius has only made three poses of goblins as far as I know.  They are very high quality just like all of their figures.

LOD has started a series of 70mm Greek Gods.  High quality at a midlevel price.  Seven figures so far.

Ares.

Athena.



Poseidon. 
Apollo. 
Athena II.
Aphrodite.
Hera.

TihonFigureN is another Russian maker of very high quality figures.  Not cheap, but worth the price for their best stuff.  This set of 18 includes several "gun dwarves."  

This castle playset comes with three inch figures that are like a poor man's Papo/Schielch.

3D printing is almost certainly the future for high end figures of all types.  It is still fairly expensive to print the figures compared to mass production, but that may change in the coming years.  Below are the first 3D printed figures I purchased off of ebay.  The are a random assortment of super cool poses.  These are in 54mm scale.  It would be easy to spend a fortune on these figures.  I intend to be very particular about the ones I buy going forward.

Biplant is the corporate successor to Oritet.  They recently released these sets of elves with dragonriders including three colors of dragons.   They are about 60mm.

Hello you wonderful people, monsters and other dungeon crawlers.  I am back from my long absence. 

Around three years ago, I was diagnosed with life changing health issues.  Issues for which medical science has no effective treatments.  So, my priorities changed and I went on a personal journey of exploration to find alternative treatments and solutions.  My path turned a bit dark and eventually drew the attention of law enforcement resulting in a host of criminal charges.  My trial was an absolute circus with the prosecution recklessly tossing around terms like "atrocity" and "ritual sacrifice."  I fought the good fight in court but the deck was stacked against me.  The final result was my sad, and untimely, execution by the State.

Fortunately, my younger brother has a real talent for unspeakable acts of necromancy.  This past solstice he pulled me back from my convalescence in the grave.  Sure, I had to give him back his soul and his spell makes me cluck like a chicken whenever he says the word "burrito," but that is a small price to pay for a new lease on life.  I do mean lease as I must pay the rent every equinox and solstice from now on and eat a very restricted diet, if you know what I mean.  At least I was able to get a lot of work done while in the dirt and I will now be able to get back to regular weekly posts for the next several months.  I have a lot of new figures to catch up with.  I hope you will all enjoy. 

Beleriand Toy Soldiers of Russia has released a super high quality series of 60mm figure sets based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Children of Hurin.  They are among the best figures ever to come out of Russia.  They are very expensive ($10-$15 each fig).  Sadly, they are made of a very soft material that can distort under pressure.  That makes storage a little complicated.  

Set #1 Children of Hurin.

Set #2 Orcs.

Set #3 Donath

Set # 3.1 Donath

Set #4 Nargothrond 

Set #5 Dorlomin

Safari has released a new set of six 60+mm figures called Heroes & Monsters. 

One last figure from Russia.  This is a 60mm evil queen/vampire/witch.  I am not sure when or by whom she was made.  What ever you want ot call her, she has bad girl written all over her.    

I am going to miss Russian made figures.
