Here are some pics of some 28/32mm Shadowsea Troglodytes from Antimatter Games (although, per an announcement on the Antimatter Games site, miniature production for their various titles will be going over to Dark Sword Miniatures).
Nice animation, excellent detail. The metal is rather both soft and brittle - I'm not sure exactly how one achieves that. Sprues of arms, with shields and stone axes and stone spears are included - though it would have been an improvement if they had mixed up some of the handed-ness of these accoutrements. As it stands, your choice for the right hand is either stone axe or spear, and for the left hand, a shield.

These sculpts share a design aesthetic reminiscent of Edition 3.5 Troglodytes. I've added some Otherworld Miniatures Trogs, which are right out of the first edition Monster Manual.
While slightly smaller than the Shadowsea Trogs, the Otherworld ones come with a plastic slotta-base, which compensates for the disparity in height. The Otherworld miniatures also have great animation and detail, and are made of sturdier stuff.
