The Discworld
Characters were produced by Clarecraft and were based on the Discworld
novels by Terry Pratchett.
The range was very well received and had excellent reviews and the Figurines, Coat of Arms and associated merchandise are now very collectable.
The figures were all approved by Terry Pratchetauthor and range from Death to
Rincewind, and from Gaspode the Wonder Dog to Granny Weatherwax.
Pratchett says, "I like the Clarecraft figures. They're made by people who read the books very
carefully and then sculpt what they see on the inside of their eyelids. They don't
always get it exactly right (no-one could) but they get it wrong a lot better than
anyone else would."
The first figures from the collection retired in 1995: Carrot and Lady
Ramkin. The Discworld series of books are still attracting new readers and there are many Discworld readers yet
to discover the quirky delights of the figures.
Clarecraft ran The
Discworld Collectors Guild for a number of years and it offered free gifts, a quarterly newsletter,
and the opportunity to purchase special edition club pieces.
Free gifts included The Coat of Arms of Ankh-Morph (pictured above

Guild members only pieces include Quoth & Death of Rats (pictured
