Mega Miniatures brought most of Hobby Products' older Arabian Nights figures and some of the Midgard range back into production as part of their Arabian series. These figures had last been seen in the 1987 Hobby Products catalogue but were out of production by the 1990 catalogue - a consequence of this is that very few of these figures have the flat, disc-like bases of the later Hobby Products miniatures. The Arabian figures were further split into 3 sets: Arabian Harem, Arabian Magic and Arabian Knights.

90010 Arabian Harem

Most of the figures in this set are from the 1980s (older style bases) but the 4 Harem girls - 2 dancing and 2 playing instruments - have the newer base style and so belong to Hobby Products' mid-1990's C1504 Harem series.

90011 Arabian Knights

The first four figures in this series have the newer style bases and so, probably, were part of the C1502 Oriental Adventurers series rather than the 1980s M3xxx series that the rest of the figures come from.
