Cardboard people replacement

By corelich, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

Does anyone know some good fitting miniatures for the cardboard "people" and barrels in the game? I'm currently sculpting my own tables, walls and stuff like this but want to buy people and barrels. The lord of the rings miniatures of GW seem to be a little to big. I think 32 mm size would fit.

I have simply used a lot of the Nolzur's Minatures for the D&D line. They have ton's of options and are fairly inexpensive.

They also have a lot of the "supporting" items like barrels, tables, a tent etc.

Some of the items like fire pits I had to customize myself (took a witch's coldron and painted it fire like and glue rocks to cover up the cauldron).

I have seem some 3D printed files and I know some libraries have the option to 3D things for you.

Are they about the same scale? Do they fit?

It really depends on the miniatures. The terrain pieces for nolzurs work really well. I found I tended to use more of the reaper miniatures though as they tend to be a little bigger. What I did is I just bought some 40K bases and put those minis in them and it took away most of the size differences. You mainly notice is in the smaller races (halflings/dwarf/gnome) minis, they tend to have a wide variety of sizes.

I just spent some time Ebaying plastic miniatures with various keywords, and managed to eventually find some random off-brand figures that work pretty well for elves, various men, dwarves, and hobbits. They vary a bit in terms of detail, but they're all about the right size and they do add a nice bit of flavor to the board. The Reaper miniatures have some reasonable options:
