Another part od this discussion started on the Old Scratck forum but it is currently down unfortunately.
That guy, Skynight, claims to have the plastic prototypes for the Elf and Barbarian Quest Packs (that you can see in the photos) plus he sayd to have an unreleased DWARF QUEST PACK but he can't post any pics because he doesn't have permission.

These are the original molds where the mini is doubled in size four different times. Many times companies use three ups from what I understand. These are then viewed to make sure that when the minis go into mass production there will not be a problem, things like too sharp of angles and such can be detected at this point. Once these are a go and everyone from the production guys, artists, and sulptors say they are good they then get reduced down to the size we know and put out to public.
So what happened is you had the original mold sulpt, these were then cast from that mold in resin for handling purposes, handed to the production teams, ok'd, and then miniaturized for production.

I have seriously been wondering how to do that with the unreleased set I have. While I know I cant really do much with them other than personal use it would be cool to have my own dwarf expansion set.
And finally this last one:

Other people sayd they've seen this unreleased stuff as well...
(and you can also read my try to convince them to show some photos)
