Emperors Choice Games & Miniatures Corp. used to own the entire line of Archive (also known as R*Kiiv) miniatures. As a matter of fact we used to advertise the miniatures for sale in the Dragon magazine many years ago. I am attaching a copy of the catalog as it was known as R*Kiiv for those of you interested in its historical value. Please dont mind our chicken scratch on the pages as it was easier than scanning another version of the catalog.

NOTE: Even though Emeprors Choice Games & Miniatures Corp. sold the rights to the lines we DID RETAIN the rights to all Arduin miniatures tht were created and yes we have the molds still to include the original Phriants.

We still have a lot of original photos of these miniatures from the 1970's etc.

Neville Stockten was the original owner of the lines and somehwere along the line probably after the Star Warps debacle they fell into the court systems and Chessex owned them which is where Emperors Choice purchased them from.

We even used one of the sculptors from the lines to do a few of our figures such as our old Basalisk miniature

Anyway, enjoy a blast from the past and the attached document.
 
Oh my, sorry about that, old age has crept in I guess. I will get it up there. (Thank you for noticing! - and sorry for the inconvenience).

oh nice! Never saw that catalog. I still have a bunch of those minis, most of them with extraordinarily bad paint jobs.
 
Yea, some of those pieces were hard for even a good paint job to fix, lol.

We have some other unscanned Archive stuff like advertising, and the original layouts of the Star Rovers game.
 
That catalog came after Archive as we understood it. Archive shut down, and I don’t recall who restarted it as Rkiive, it may have actually been the owner of Chessex East whom we got the right from. Neville told us but I just don’t recall.
