Maybe Tan Lan?  See picture for this also.  The other mini has nothing on the bottom and seems to have - ahem - girls parts AND boy parts.  What the heck is it? ALSO an ebay question -  does ebay allow sellers to list a link to a photo page like this so that one can avoid the extra picture fees?  As always, thanks for reading this.  Any help would be appreciated. And happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US.

I have both of these, I got them with a large lot of minis from an ex-game store owner, the auction was for "Citadel, Heritage and Texas Miniatures Group minis" so I would suppose they are one of these three.  I'll try to dig the figures up to see if I can find more info.

They look like Heritage to me (at least the demon does), but I'd double-check with the experts @ http://www.dungeon-dwellers.info/ to be sure.

Thanks, Grodog, for the link.  That's a great site.  Pit Fiend is the perfect name for this guy.  And Tiger, I do have some minis marked with the Elan Merch logo.  So they are from Heritage too?  I feel like I'm taking a course in this stuff and I've got about 100 professors.  Shiny apples for all of you!  Anybody recognize that other mini?  Thanks again for your help!

Are these any better?  http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/  I got a nifty camera for my birthday but I am still trying to figure it out!  Thanks for trying, Grodog.

A sphinx!  I never would have guessed that.  Thanks, Paul!

I wouldn't want to take unfair advantage of you like that, John!  I will be selling all this stuff though.  I am posting my first ever auction on ebay Sunday night.  I hope.  Just ten things to start with, as I am nervous.  I will post a list on the classifieds!  No reserve.  Shipping at cost plus $2.  Does that sound fair?

Wow, thanks so much for that link.  I have googled every key word I can think of to identify these minis and I get a little bit here and a little bit there.  This website will help tremendously.  I am going to try to sell this stuff as it was originally sold - i.e. I will sell all the pieces that make up Grendadier's "The Wizard's Room" that I have as one auction.  I am so far from finished sorting all these though, that I think I will auction off modules and books first.  Thanks to the Acaeum, those I have a very good handle on.  I don't expect to make much money, really.  These came into my hands without cost and I am enjoying learning about them.  It's like a crossword or jigsaw puzzle.  I just like putting all the pieces together.  I thought my husband would be weary of all the little bits of metal strewn around the dining room, but as I passed through there just now, he was making a very elaborate battle scene.  Maybe I DO need to sell them soon!  But with four kids and a full time job, there is never enough time...

Someone asked if Heritage miniatures were ever painted.  I answered, "No."
