Fantasy Armies (Ral Partha)
Ral Partha's Fantasy Armies series has a complicated history: initially it was part of the original Ral Partha Fantasy Collector Series, which was introduced in 1979 and sculpted by Tom Meier, but in 1985 the range was split under two sub-headings: Fantasy Armies (this page) and Player Characters. Later, during the 1990s many figures were resculpted, renumbered or replaced and the "Fantasy Collector Series" prefix was usually omitted. When FASA bought Ral Partha in 1998, the "Fantasy Armies" series lived on in name only with a vastly different inventory - see Fantasy Armies (FASA).
Note: this page details the later figures by Bob Charrette and others, but all of the Tom Meier figures from the original Fantasy Collector Series are also part of this Fantasy Armies series. 02-7900 is also in here with the rest of the Rabbit Warriors.
