Mirliton S.G. produces toy soldiers, historical and fantasy figures in scale 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm in white metal.
Mithril Miniatures was founded in 1987 and has been dedicated to creating metal miniature figures, inspired by Middle earth as portrayed by J.R.R. Tolkien in his books, 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. It has been our mission to faithfully recreate the characters from these books and imbue the miniatures as much as possible with the atmosphere and feel of Middle-earth. Our figures are not created from any of the films based on JRR Tolkien's books.
To this end much painstaking research has gone into this range, both in costume and character appearance, so as to make and retain an authentic and consistent feel to the figures and above all to remain true to Tolkien's original vision of his strange and magical world.
A lot of work has also gone into new production methods to minimise shrinkage and distortion which follows most other metal miniature manufacturer. Also worth mentioning is our special undercoat which we paint most of our figures with.
We celebrated 30 years in business in 2018 and have to date created approximately 700 figures from Middle-earth. This is the largest collection in the world of miniatures based on JRR Tolkien books. Initially our figures were created for Iron Crown Enterprise's game called Middle-earth. In the 1990's we separated from them when they got into financial trouble. Since then we have created 100s of miniatures all inspired by Tolkien’s books. Many of the discontinued miniatures are now collectors items sometimes making over €1000 in auctions.
Our Designer Chris Tubb was born in 1952 in Hertfordshire, England and from an early age was interested in drawing and model making. He studied sculpting and painting at the Camden institute and has been a full-time designer and model maker since 1978. He has designed the entire Mithril series to date which he began in 1987. He likes to design in many scales but his favorites are 1/35 and the 1/56 scale which is Mithril’s own. His work has a naturalistic and distinctive style. He lived and worked in Ireland for many years but currently lives in the U.K. with his five children.

Our MiniaturesOur figures, sculpted in a variety of media. Moulded and cast in pewter or resin, and packaged in attractive blister packs and boxes. We describe our miniatures as 28mm, meaning that an average-sized human would stand at around 28mm tall. However, not many of our figures average-sized humans! For monsters, we use a scale of 5mm on the model to represent 1 foot of height. So a 10 foot tall Ogre would represented by a 50mm tall miniature. Most figures modelled with ‘slotta-tabs’ and supplied with appropriate plastic bases.
If you have any suggestions about miniatures that you would like to see us produce in the future, please contact us. Where you can also find up to date information about new releases and future plans.
