Well, I just crawled out of bed and I'm still a little out of it, but I'll give it a shot.

This would be some potential ebay prices
Grimlocks $15-$25
Derro $15-$25
Hamatula $20-$40


Thanks for the info!

Are those prices for all of the blisters listed, or per blister pack?

Looks like this loose Raistlin may be going for the record.

Well 11-069 didn't break the record, and the high bidder may have been shilled.  Confused

Anyhoo...
not a bad little pick-up

Hi Guys,

11-084 Simbul
11-429 Marrashi
11-463 Ketch
469 Sligs
483 Rock Python
521 Spellweaver  
524 Lycanthropes
526 Fomorean Giant
532 Ormyrr
533 Bone Golem  
539 Rakalupis
603 Factol Darius
604 Lei King
606 Factol Koran  
646 Marut
651 Dretch
655 Black Abishai
751 Lamia
753 the banshegh
756 llaeddra

Thanks in advance for your most needed help!!

Hamatula?  $20-$40?

I'll have you know that I have such figures!  Sure, they aren't MIB, but they've been prepped and primed using either Floquil or Partha Paints "White" primer.

I never painted them because I couldn't find any source to tell me exactly what color a Hamatula was!

They've been sitting in a box, lo these many years...  with my other "undead/other world" figures that have been prepped and primed, but never touched again...

Ekim:

You're a far better painter than me...

Which is why I have be a jerk and say this:

HAW HAW! You painted your "Cave Fisher" the wrong color!

Polly S Advanced Dungeons & Dragons color series: 451 Cave Fisher Magenta.

Once upon a time, I had every single one of the Polly S AD&D paints, but they eventually dried up...

EXCEPT FOR ONE!  CAVE FISHER MAGENTA!

Although the label has fallen off, I still have.  And my CAVE FISHER MAGENTA is as fresh as the day I bought it!

And why not?  Except for the Grenadier Cave Fisher, and then the Ral Partha Cave Fisher of which we speak, what other figures would I ever paint with "Cave Fisher Magenta"?

Well, Ekim, you must forgive me this taunt. I have been painting figures for 28 years, but I never got up to your level.  But for the past two years, I can't.  My hands cramp up, my vision blurs.

The display case above my dresser has become a torture device.  Each morning I take out my socks and underwear, I see those figures that I thought were my best works...

And I'm reminded, I will never again be able to paint that good again.

Serious question: Are bottles of paint from manufactures like Polly S. collectible?

Being very in tune with the collectable and painted miniature market I can say with that old bottles of paint are worthless.

Now licensed paints sets that include collectable miniatures are very collectable and very sought after (IE action art AD&D sets, ral partha paints sets etc.).

Having said that I am missing 451 Cave Fisher Magenta.  Crap!!

How much you want for it Wink  Wink

655 Black Abishai

would probably go for at least $35 and possibly much higher.

646 Marut
651 Dretch
526 Fomorean Giant
532 Ormyrr

Should be able to get around $20 each for these.

A few of the others are in the $10-15 range. List everything for .99 cents and you shouldn't have a problem getting a good price.

Blackmoor:

So WHY would you even want "Cave Fisher Magenta"?

I've got in my reserve paint box unopened bottles of Polly S Dwarf Flesh, Elf Flesh, Orc Flesh, Hireling Flesh (which used to be the AD&D Halfling Flesh), Were Flesh (which was the AD&D Gnoll Green Grey).

These WERE the first official AD&D paints.  Why aint they "collectable"?

Well, all you have to do is LOOK on e-Bay!

When last I mentioned it, there were a couple of sellers with some ancient unopened bottles.

Someone even had AD&D Bugbear Fur!

Now THERE'S a color I need!

If anyone is interested I just got pictures of all the Dragonlance personalities up on my website.  All of them are loose out of their blister so you can see the pieces and what not.

Nice Fish, but some of the pics don't match the names.
