"So who made this thing, anyway?" Topic

Got this giant serpent mini in a trade a while back and have no idea who manufactured it. Lead-alloy mini by the weight, so probably from the 70s or 80s. Anyone identify the maker so I can update my auction with the info?

Grenadier AD&D--Denizens of the Swamp boxed set

It looks like Grenediers AD&D line. Denizens of the Swamp

I had it long ago.

Nicely painted, too.

Thanks, I'll amend the auction accordingly.

Nicely painted, too

Yes. Sadly collectors tend to strip the figures they pick up, which in this case would be a darn shame! :-o

Didn't sell unpainted at a much lower cost last week. We'll see if it does better with a bit of color. If some collector wants to pay a lot more to strip the paint off that's up to them, but it seems kind of silly.

I was about to post "Grenadier", too. I painted mine like a coral snake back in the early 1980s. It's nice to see where he came from -- I didn't remember he came in a box with friends! I have some of these fellow swamp denizens painted in my collection, too, and some that have never seen paint yet.

He also came by himself in a blister – mine is garish blue. This one is much cooler.
