Red Box Games

Founded in 2008 Red Box Games is a company devoted to the manufacture of high quality 28 mm table top miniatures. For now the line consists entirely of Traditional Old School Euro medieval Fantasy themed figures btu who knows what the future holds?!

My name is Tre Manor. I am sculptor of miniature figurines. I also, with A LOT of help from my darling wfe Kristy, administer the running of the Red Box Games business. We contract with long established and proven capable companies for the actual production of our molds and castings but we handle the actual processing and fulfillment of your orders.

We are originally from central Mississippi but we currently reside in Greenville, South Carolina. Our family loves living in this area. My Wife and I have two children, both boys Noah and Ian aged 12 and 9 respectively. We enjoy martial arts ( Kali, Derobio Eskrima, Silat, Muay Thai ) and hiking and generally being together as a family.

I founded Red Box Games ( I often refer to my company as RBG for brevity ) in August of 2008 seeking to make a living out of sculpting miniatures, and to follow my muses as they sang, and make the most out of my abilities. It has not always been a smooth road but I would have it no other way. I enjoy the challenge of making my own way and I truly enjoy creating awesome figurines.

Fantasy is my current and long standing specialty but I do plan to venture out in to other genres in the coming years.

As a company Red Box Games produces an ever expanding line of finely detailed, meticulously sculpted true 32mm scale fantasy figurines designed based on the aesthetics of classic Western European myth and fable. RBG is known for a particularly " historical " plausibility in the design of the various fantasy figures in the ranges of our catalogue. It is my aim as an artist to represent as many of the fantasy archetypical characters as possible in the most consistently scaled and aesthetically cohesive range of miniatures on the market. I look to the aesthetics of " old school " Dungeosn and Dragons as the guidepost for my designs and try to keep plausibility of character at the forefront of every effort.

RBG adventurers carry packs and rope, and potions, frying pans, spare weapons, bedrolls, and water skins and lanterns. RBG elves are smaller and slighter than Humans. RBG dwarves are half the height of men, often strong and stout, but as varied as men themselves. RBG Halflings are the slightly shorter and slimmer cousins of dwarves. RBG monsters are held to equally the same standard of plausibility without losing their frightening monstrous nature.

I mentioned " true 32 " as the scale for RBG. Do not let that scare you. It is NOT as big as it may be thought to be. There is MUCH confusion about what scale is in the miniatures industry. Truth be told almost no company has a cohesive consistent scale and certainly there are no contemporary ranges that are actually 28 mm by any stretch of the imagination. I do not make RBG figures with the intention that they fit with any other range available. I make the figures in the most consistent measurements that i can manage so that all RBG figures look " right " together as a group.

My measures are made from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head and then the armature is posed into whatever height it ends up being. I try to keep the proportions of the bodies on my figures as close to being realistic as possible. obviously they cannot be perfectly realistic as true life like proportion would render almost imperceptibly fine details or high fragile objects. The end result of my style is that RBG figures are roughly the same height of the average " heroic 28 sculpt " ( humans anyway ) but have less bulky and exaggerated proportions and features.

The various armature heights of the various ranges in the RBG catalogue are as follows;

humans.......................32-36
half elves....................28-32
elves...........................28-30
dwarves......................22-26
halfings.......................22-25
half orcs......................28-40
orcs............................35-45
goblins.......................20-28

Please note that the poses mitigate the overall height of the figures so some figures posed heights may be as short as 25mm but their actual standing height would measure 36 tall if they stood straight up. Please see below few examples of RBG minis next to a standard sized gaming dice for scale reference.

We are VERY glad to have everyone along for the journey as we develop Red Box Games as both a business and a community within the wonderful table top gaming world. It is my sincere honor to populate the theater of your imagination.
