I remember having these old TSR plastic miniatures as a kid. I can't for the life of me remember how I got them. Does anybody know anything about the miniatures in this picture? (I am selling them as part of a lot on Ebay).

Just curious.

Any ideas about how it was packaged/sold?

I went home a few months ago and found these in a dark corner. I remember having them as a kid. When I went to grandma's, I didn't have any dice and yet wanted to play a game of D&D. I remember putting a piece of tape on the back of each one and writing a number on them. I would then throw them all at once. I would then take the number on the back of the one that went the farthest and used that. They're in pretty good shape all things considered.

Ahhh, the memories. I really hate to see some of this stuff go. But you gotta let go sometime...

The Toyarchive is a good web site featuring the AD&D action figure line from LJN. You should be able to find the information you are looking for somewhere within this site:

A shop for Action figures from the UK (don't know if there still in business):

That's because these were manufactured by TSR, as far as I know. Here is a list of TSR's two inch solid PVC figures (might be incomplete):

Wow, that was a neat link - how do you find this stuff? Mainly, I was just trying to remember how I got these (I would have been in elementary school at the time). I figure they'll sell for whatever they sell for, and I highly doubt they'll dwarf the L3 in the auction they are with. Although I do have the "uber-rare" Skyla  :o

I don't recognize the group pack, and seeing as how I have duplicates of some, plus figs that weren't in the pack, it couldn't have been from that. I guess I might have picked them up in a garage sale. No telling. Maybe I stole them from my older brother.

Blasphemy! They'll have to pry my stuff from my cold, dead hands....

When they pry them from your cold, dead hands, you will have to let that stuff go.
