Hi guys, new user here looking for a bit of help regarding the identity of an old GW halfling.
I've been slowly collecting a few of the old Nippon themed miniatures, and have come across one that I can't find catalogued anywhere (infact, I can only really find one blog on the internet with a picture of him). A halfling oni almost falling over backwards through the effort of swinging his hammer. He seems to have been sculpted by the same person and at the same time as the 'standard' upright halfling Oni that is pretty well documented, before he got reworked into Theo the halfling ashigaru. He has an integral base much like the other halfling oni, with the word 'oni' scratched into the underside, and shares a few design elements- the 7 dot pattern on his hammer and Theo's saya scabbard, similar sculpting on armour panels etc.
Has anyone seen this mini catalogued or referenced anywhere apart from Greblord's blog? Did he come as a two-pack with the upright halfling oni? If he did, then surely there would be more floating around, I can find 7 or 8 examples of the upright oni online but only Greblord's examples of the hammer oni.
Anyway, any information that you guys have would be gratefully received.
