| Two New Releases: Lizzy and Skinman; Art Contest announcement delayed |
blackorcgames Reports: Another two new releases have been added to the Mini-Sculpt line. This line will continue to grow due to the participation by our awesome sculptors. This allows us to bring figs to the market at a reasonable cost. And in this economy, it is important to save where you can. Quality figs at an affordable price has always been our goal. Thanks to the great community that is supporting Black Orc Games and the committment from our sculptors we are able to achieve this goal.
