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

Anyhoo...
not a bad little pick-up

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:

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!

Who doesn't? :lol:

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

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.

I just checked all the personalities and they appeared to all match up correctly. Could you let me know which ones didn't? I might just be missing it. Thanks,
Brett
