Type 1)  Range Name, Art representing the Range, Figure Code and Full Name, Price Code, Designer Info
 +
 +
Type 2)  Range Name, Art representing the Range, Figure Code and Full Name, Price Code,

Throughout the history of Citadel miniatures, Citadel sold their figures in a variety of packages. The variant designs of these packages are of interest to collectors. The aim of this page is to provide examples of all the different varient package designs.



Preslotta Packaging - Carded bags

Originally using the same packaging technique that Asgard did. There are 3 general variations of what was printed on the cards, as they evolved over time:


Type 1) Range Name, Art representing the Range, Figure Code and Full Name, Price Code, Designer Info

Type 2) Range Name, Art representing the Range, Figure Code and Full Name, Price Code,

Type 3) Range Name, Art representing the Range, boxes where the Model Code and Price Code would be stamped.


There were two sizes to the bags. The Large bag had the same art (all but the Fantasy Tribes), just reformatted to fit the larger card.

Preslotta Packaging - Blister Packs

Upgraded to Blister Packs around 1982-1983.
