Can you post the URL (web address) of the website selling the Fantasy Armies cast figures. We did sell them and may have some left in stock. The one you are talking about is OR16 - UN6 wraith on a flying mount.
I don't have the actual name at hand but it may have been removed from sale because it was so 'Lord of the Rings' and we did not have the license to sell it in Prince August (Mithril does have the license) once Tolkien Enterprises got very protective of the copyright. This is well before my time here.
I can ask if we have any left and if so I am sure we could supply it. There are some lovely troops from that range still on sale in the Friends and Foes series in the Cast Figures section of the website. ;D

Old thread, but who knows?
Michael said: "The one you are talking about is OR16 - UN6 wraith on a flying mount."
OR16 and UN6 were two different figures:
OR16 was "Orc on Lizard" (giant lizard walking; the orc rider had a long spear; a beautiful miniature). The spear of mine is broken. Any idea how to repair it? (I don't want to replace it - as is usually done - but to repair it!).
UN6 was "Wraith Lord on Flying Reptile" and if you have any left, I want one!
I believe the site engo mentions is "The Stuff of Legend"; they don't sell any miniatures but have a catalog of the PA fantasy range from the '80's (and others).
Regards,
Jacques.
EDIT 1: I just noticed the flying wraith is called OR16-UN6 on the old PA Fantasy Range poster, but the poster is wrong; it's a mistake... EDIT 2: well, it seems these 2 figures were sold together in a boxed set called OR16-UN6, so maybe the old PA poster and Michael are right (in a way).

The list on your company's homepage is not correct, as some of the friends and foes and characters are not available any more, like the druid. Getting one of those wraith riders would be as cool as having the alternative Orc champion. Bye Urukhai

I will ask our dispatch manager to check for errors in our page, normally if an item sells out I am informed immediately so I can remove it from the website. If you see any mistakes please let me know as PA is now thousands of pages and I am just one guy, so I may overlook something.

(I don't want to replace it - as is usually done - but to repair it!). Send me an image of the damage and I will ask our tool makers for advice. Normally strong epoxy glue will fix minor items, but sometimes we must use solder.

Hello In the hand drill a hole. For the spear a brass or copper wire in the strength of the original Speers. The length of the original performers. An end flat with the hammer and knocking out the spearhead shape. Many greetings Christopher

Thank you, Michael (I just found your reply, sorry). I'll do that in the next days.
Thank you too, Christopher. But I mentioned I didn't want to replace the spear as you suggest. OR16 is a beautiful figure ans some kind of collector item. I bought it and, unfortunately, the spear was broken during shipping; aaaaaaah :-( I think I'll have to accept to add a small tube to reinforce the spear where it was broken.
Jacques.
