These two miniatures were designed within a year or so of each other, both by Tom Meier. Both are "giant goblins" (i.e. Uruk-hai), the elder from the Wizards, Warriors and Warlocks range, and the latter from 1979's Fantasy Collector Series.
The right-hand figure is obviously much more advanced sculpturally and is part of a classic range. But I rather like the cruder but charming earlier figure. For roleplaying games especially, I think simpler, older miniatures are often better than their modern equivalents: they leave more room for the imagination.

They both look great -- you did a nice job on them. My preference from the "old days" is one piece castings. I hate "assembling" miniatures...haha!
