These figures represent Kobolds, low-level sword-fodder which are sort of reptilian, dog-faced humanoids. They were originally sold in packs of 4 figures containing 1 of each of the 4 poses. The figures shown are armed with a club, a shortsword, a handful of javelins and a leader-type armed with a hand axe. 5 variants were made of each pose, and they are described below. The only difference in variants are in the heads and facial features. The wicker shields shown on the painted figures are not original. They are made by Vendel Miniatures, and they more accurately represent the artwork in the 1st Edition AD&D Monster Manual.
