A bit of a confusing one, today!
Rifraf Miniatures used to produce a couple of small ranges of Spanish Civil War figures and WW2 Greeks. However, their website has been down for quite some time.
A quick search around the web suggests that both ranges were purchased by Burns Miniatures, who don't appear to have a web presence either!
Enter Templar Wargames And Scenery . Among the many products they supply are 28mm figures for the Spanish Civil War and WW2 Greeks, listed as (Burns Miniatures). It would seem that these are the old Rifraf figures! As Templar say on their site that they produce all their items themselves, it implies that Templar now own Burns Miniatures.
Interestingly though, Templar also sell the 28mm Indian Mutiny range from Mutineer Miniatures. On the Mutineer Miniatures site there is a message that Templar will be stocking the Mutineer 28mm range, but the Mutineer 20mm range has been sold to Templar. This suggests that Mutineer still own the 28mm ranges, but are the figures actually produced on their behalf by Templar?
Anyway. If you are looking for Rifraf figures you know where to go....
Looking for 28mm historical miniature figures? This blog is a database of manufacturers showing who makes what. I am also adding photos showing figures from different makers side by side. The 'Directory' tab has a list of manufacturers showing what ranges they make and a link to their website. The other tabs list what figures are available for that period.
