Limited Editions

The Runequest Duck was given away with the Runequest boxes. A painted example can be seen on Stuff of Legends

The Broo Assassin, which is remarkably similar to the Rabbit Assassin given away at the opening of the Manchester store, may have been given away with mail orders for the Runequest boxes. Painted examples can be seen at Stuff of Legends

In White Dwarf 86, issued in February 1983, a special figure was advertised. No examples of the actual figure as depicted in the ad have been sighted. It has been suggested the free figure referred to may be the Broo Assassin above.
