Is this by chance a mug by Merit?  They had reddish coloured pictures on a white mug.  Others in the series include unicorn, enchantress, wizard, hafling, dwarf, and dragon.


Found the mug. It is white with a dwarf in black. The dwarf is kind of dressed as a swashbuckler.

They come up once in a while.  Usually don't go for too much unless they are in SW.  Even then, not a whole lot.

How could you not mention the wallet?  That is the coolest piece of TSR kitsch ever.

Gus Landt wrote in TSR Kitsch:Warduke was my hero growing up.  I played a Fighter named "Demonsnake", and had a pic of Warduke on his character sheet.
Ya'll might recall a year ago Dungeon Magazine had him on the cover.  Reaper miniatures had a sculptor (Bobby Jackson) produced a Warduke mini, and they cast up a dozen, with hopes of convincing Piazo of doing some sort of deal where they could offer them to subscribers or some such.  Piazo wasn't interested, but through my connections at Reaper I managed to get one, and had one of the world's best painters paint him up for me!

Refound this image at https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php? ... pic-heavy/ (scroll down a bit after the 1st mini in the thread), in case anyone else is looking for it ;)

Saw this thread was back from the dead and then saw this in my ebay searches

Could also be described as back (or backing) from the dead I suppose. I wonder if I send this in for slabbing, it will increase the value :scratch:
