Which one?  

Those are two different ones. Not a front and back.

Oh, I see that now, know wonder I'm always at the back of the party.  

The dungeon one is great I have to hunt one of those down.   How often do these show up on ebay?

SO now the question, they ever get used since you've had them?

-Shane, nope I have never used them. I washed and dried them when I first received them, thats it.

Yeah, the only thing lacking is a bikini-clad woman atop those towels!

-Mark, I couldn't talk the wife into it  

it would make my wife roll her eyes like this:     

-X, that was my wifes reply -  

I confess, I was the buyer of the ones in the Sutherland auction

-Frank, were they the same as these? Do you know of any others?

How often do these show up on ebay?

-Ekim, not very often. At least I havent seen any lately. I believe I was moving during the Sutherland ones.

I tend to look for other stuff.

-red_bus, did you get my reply PM?


Thanks for all the comments,
Mike

I think there were four.

Mine via DCS are the blue dragon (pictured above) and the purple worm (each with combatant humanoids). I wish I had the dungeon, it's fairly cool.

{edit}

I don't recall what the fourth design might have been, tho.

From the Sutherland auction, showing the purple worm:

I also have the D&D cross stitch kits.  Here is a link to the pictures over on Dragonsfoot:

Any idea who thought these up?  Was it a hobby of the wives of TSR employees?  The packages also state that Greenfield Needlewomen is a subsidiary of TSR Hobbies, Inc.  They are copyright 1983.  I checked the 1983 TSR catalog and they mention them in their expanding line of merchandise but don't say much else.

I also made a few comments about it over on my Q&A thread at DF.

Happy collecting,

Graaaaar!

Land Shark? (Can't think of the Japanese monster, but I know I've seen one movie with something like this)

Heh, bulette.  Cool.  Didn't they used to sell in dime stores and that sort of thing?  The rust monster came in the same pack.  My little sister had a bunch of them back in the middle 1970s.  When I got into D&D a few years later, I kept looking at the bulette and rust monster pics and thinking "I'm sure I've seen those things before somewhere..."  Haven't seen one since then, though.  I'd love to get hold of some.  Do they still turn up from time to time?  Or are they still being made?
