ADD87 - Meazel, Xvart, Snyad and Mite

Sculptor : Alan & Michael Perry

This set of figures depicted some of the low-level dungeon lowlife featured in the Fiend Folio, an AD&D monster supplement published by TSR UK in 1981. They were sold in blister packs containing 4 figures, a Meazel, a Xvart, a Snyad and a Mite. Strangely, there were 2 different Meazel poses (with garotting cord or two-handed sword) and 3 different Xvarts (with net, sword or axe.) Each figure seems to have had 5 variants, for a total of 35 different castings in this code! The only variant details of each pose seem to be in head and facial features.
