I was genuinely going to type - before I scrolled down and saw this *AND* before I saw Peter's edit - that the blood red one was probably the most likely candidate...  ;)

The one on the left looks like one of the metal 'fakes' for the back of a box shot...(Heroquest ?...I can't remember).....If Mike McVey didn't paint that, it's a damn good forgery.

The only two plastics (for certain ?) are the one 'wot I dun' and the one on the far right.

The left One was labeled as the prototype for heroquest.

Think the ones on the round bases are finecast.

Sounds about right, Peter.

When games were produced.....One (if not THE) first things that had to be done was getting the box done, and off to the printers...(And back...ready to put everything in !!) .....The plastic figures could take a LONG time to get sculpted and then turned into a plastic sprue.

What tended to happen (as far as the figures were concerned) was a three times scale figurine would be made.....and from that the sculptors would do a 'copy' in green stuff (as near as possible) to the size the plastic figure would ultimately be produced in.....That was pressed, and sent back to the studio, as a metal....Painted up....I'd photograph it....and that was another bit of 'stuff' ready to go off to the printers.

I don't know how they do it now....But in those days (over a quarter of a century ago)...The contents on the back of the box, were effectively as accurate as possible 'mock ups'.

Cheers - Phil

What You See more and more these Days is 3d renders of the sculpts.

So i'm guessing a 3d printer is used To make the First mock-ups.

Is that pic from an old white dwarf?

I don't think so.

I believe my own figure might have appeared in WD as a single shot.......Then I took it home.....It was MINE. ;D ;D ;D

(I wonder who's got it now.)
