Any suggestions? Need toys to stand in for goblins at a 4 inch scale

Nayt Navare · 10-25-2018, 12:36 PM

Looking for title; I'd prefer posable, and about one to two inches tall, realistic look. Statues or miniatures are fine if they are that size, but I would definitely prefer ones that move.

Any help? I found most miniatures are too small; this would be for a fantasy theme to be goblins in my 4 inch scale display.

Been a while since I played Elder Scrolls but what you want sounds more like an imp than a goblin.

What you ask sounds unlikely to exist though. How do you feel about Reaction Gremlins?Or gaming miniatures maybe. Can’t imagine anything articulated that small other than Diaclone drivers, but you want a goblin stand in too. Tall order. Was thinking maybe something Glyos compatible and found something called Battle Tribes, but at 3” probably too big for what you want.

I'm fine with gaming minis, but they're too small from what I've seen. They would be smurfs in a 4 inch scale; thise battle tribe toys might be good for one character with modification, but I'm hopeful for other options.

Are there any 3-4 inch scale gaming miniatures?

I forgot about the Gremlins, but they were kind of hot when they came out, might be hard to come by now. You could look at Gollum from LotR. Only carded versions of him on Ebay at the $20+ mark.

CCC.

My initial thought was to try the Mythic Legions Goblins, but those guys are still gonna be way too tall for your desired scale. Shame.

RolandofGilead · 10-25-2018, 04:36 PM

How about a bunch of Yodas?

Gollum from The Hobbit (for the 3 3/4" scale line)

Ugnaughts from Star Wars? The 90's one are probably relatively cheap.
Jawas?

That they are; they'd probably work well if a different scale, but I personally have an aversion to 6 inch scale. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

You mean the Neca Gremlins, or was there another series?

Those might be PERFECT. I'll need to try and snag some if they have a decent variety.

LordMudd · 10-25-2018, 09:56 PM

I think these may be all of the evil ones, there are some good furry ones.

The full gremlins are close to my aim;I'm disappointed that is all they made. I might be able to custom Stripe and the Cinema gremlin, but they miiiight not work. Best suggestion yet, tho.

Huh. Well, that's definitely a new one.
I hope you find something that works for you, then!

I just got my Goblins in and they're freakin' beautiful.

So do I, unless it is a character that changes size.

It'd be pricey, but you could always 3-D print some custom goblins from HeroForge. They print miniatures in 3 scales and the middle scale sounds like it would fit your needs.

Sean C · 11-04-2018, 09:49 PM

An odd option might be knock-off/bootleg Lego Green Goblin, LOTR trolls and other large style mini-figures from Aliexpress. I think they are around 2 inches. Arms and wrist move, legs don't not sure about head.

deecee4 · 11-05-2018, 03:52 PM

The non-articulated demon mini figures from the Blackstar 80s toy line could probably work. Im not sure what the prices are like for them on ebay but they were pretty common.

RD22 · 12-11-2018, 10:49 AM

Mythic Legions, Battle Tribes, Boss Fight (for scale), and Unimax Dino Warriors.
The Spy Monkey Creations Battle Tribes figures come with multiple heads and right now have a new Kadaf Zorr Goblin you should check out. A little pricey to army build, but kind of neat.
Ebay has a listing right now of a bunch of the Dino Warriors blue guys, just search "dino warriors" and it should come up a short ways down the list.

BagJo · 12-11-2018, 11:07 AM

It's too bad those Kadaf Zorr Gobs are so pricey, at that size if they were 5$-8$ I'd army build them for the inevitable Goblin Slayer figma to square off against.

RD22 · 12-11-2018, 06:48 PM

There was supposed to be a photo comparing the figures I mention, but apparently I'm doing something wrong and can't get it to show.
The dino warriors I mentioned is a lot of 9 for $38 shipped (item 223279882242 since I probably won't figure out how to do a link either.

Foreddyn · 12-11-2018, 06:55 PM

I should have stocked up on Gollum figures to use as goblins. Grinnah is still too big for me.
