Hobby Products GmbH was a German company that produced games and miniatures from 1984-2006. "Metal Magic" was the imprint used for their miniature lines. They produced a wide variety of ranges over the years but most of their ranges had been phased out of production by the mid-1990's and by the final years the company was focused on the Demonworld, Empires, DSA, and Armalion ranges.

Web Presence
As a mid-1980s company, much of Hobby Products' history was pre-internet. According to the Wayback Machine, the website existed (with relevant content) from at least Dec 6th 2000 - Feb 9th 2005.
Distribution
In the UK, Tabletop Games sold most of the early Fantasy and Arabian Nights ranges from at least 1984 to 1987-1988 (TTG codes) before Hobbygames of London began advertising the Metal Magic ranges (May 1988).
