An interesting comment in the ‘trolls’ kickstarter by ‘avatars of war’.

Looks like they changed to plastic because their previous material and production method did not scale.

 

Regarding the miniature sets you mentioned from previous campaigns, unfortunately they are not currently available. Those sets were produced specifically for those Kickstarter campaigns, and the production system used back then is quite difficult to sustain over time.

I noticed that their Orcs kickstarter used SioCast and they’re switching to “high-pressure plastic injection with precision steel molds” and “premium-grade PVC plastic”.  I suspect that this is the high end pvc that we’re seeing in boardgames ?
