Dragontooth - Ye Blind Cyclops Inn box has arrived!

An American hobby friend came across this in their collection and realised it was on my wants list... swift trade later and it has arrived on these hallowed shores. I have the metal contents but am still looking for the vacform plastic building parts... let me know if you have spare please! More of my wants here. 

The box is a lot larger than the other two I have (couldn't find them to do a size comparison I'm afraid). I wonder if the size was reduced at a later date?

More details of the actual set below along with a YouTube video of the late Tom Loback being interviewed about his driftwood sculptures...

Dragontooth City of Magic II - King Niflung's Throne Hall

In the early 80s Tom Loback's General Artworks or Dragontooth Inc released a series of dioramas based around a City of Magic. Designed by Tom Loback and Stephen Tofano, they produced 'limited' runs of 500 or 1000 collectors versions - still not sure what the difference was to the general release version (if there was one) unless it was the inclusion of the certificate which appears most likely. They appear on ebay etc occasionally either boxed or shrink wrap card. 

The Magic Shop

The Dwarf Armory

Ye Blind Cyclops Inn

Tomb of the Dwarf King

King Niflung's Throne Hall

A few years later an English company, Shot Tower Studios, released a few diorama sets along the same lines. Short lived but very nice old school designs by Tim Dendy....link to some of my pics on the Lost Minis WIKI here.

Anyway, on to some pics taken off ebay...I tried to contact the seller but was unable to get hold of them. If he (or she) happens along and wants them removed I will do so. If anyone knows the buyer send them my way as I would love some updated pics!

I am still looking for this set and will trade first born etc.

Dragontooth - City of Magic

In the 70s and early 80s Tom Loback of Dragontooth Inc (also known as Tom Loback General Artworks) released a series of diorama / playset pieces under the title 'The City of Magic'.  They seem to have been released as both boxed sets and shrink wrap although I don't know how the vacform pieces would have been supplied woth the shrink wrap sets - if indeed they were? Maybe the boxed sets were the collector's editions? If you know please pass the info on! These days Tom is sculpting wooden sculptures on the banks of the Hudson river.....
