Are they still available on ebay?
And in what price range?
I always had a crush on He-Man but maybe I will try these. _________________ *Forgotten Realms update daemon*

You can have a look here to get an overview : http://www.toydreams.co.uk/dungeonsanddragons/index.html
People usually look after "mint on card" (MOC) figures, the equivalent of shrinkwrap for books or modules. Prices on the site are very expensive, though, you can sometime find the same on ebay for 30 to 50% cheaper. Battle-matic serie was the rarer, and it seems figures were not very solid, so these ones usually reach $100 when they are new.

Christophe, do you want to sell the stalwart men at arms? It looks like you have two of the same? _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.

Actually, I want to trade/sell them all. They're stored in a cupboard, because I have no room on my shelves. Unless I remove RPG books... So that's quite pointless to keep them.

OK, where's yer price list?
I surely cannot afford to buy them all right now (I have a weekly budget now, too!). But I would like to buy some, if the price is right. _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.

I think I paid about $10 for the small ones and $20 for the big ones, so I would trade/resell at that price.
Condition vary slightly. One bubble is separated from the card, and I think at least one has a 10 cm tear. Some have more yellowing than other, and most cards are only VG. Figures should all be NM.
If you may be interested in some of them, tell me which ones, and I'll give you more details on condition.

The small ones, are they from LJN's 2 1/2'' line? What are the product codes for the small ones (Ringlerun? Warduke? Zarak? and Kelek?). And the condition?
I am totally confused about the big ones. The big ones should be 3 3/4" Battle-Matic, but the monsters don't fit in. Could you please post product codes and names for the big ones? No need to hurry, if you have time in the next few days that would be nice. _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.

I will post more info on mine this week-end.
There's a good source for figures :virtualtoychest.com/adnd/adnd.html
The same site also has a price guide, from 2003 : virtualtoychest.com/priceguide/priceguidea.html
Look for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, at about half page.

I'll update the section for AD&D Action Figures in the next days with the above list. Christophe, will you help me out with scans and descriptions of the figures you have? _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.
From what I can see, the existing series in 1983 were :
PLAYER CHARACTERS Action Figures
BATTLE MASTERS Action Figures
Action MOUNTS
Action MONSTERS
FORTRESS OF FANGS Playset
There are two numbers on each card. An "Asst No.", which is the same for all the serie, and a "Stock No.", which is unique for each figure. Stock number will be noted #, and Asst number Asst.
I have the following PLAYER CHARACTERS Action Figures "miniatures". They are about 2" high, and you can't move their arms or legs.
WARDUKE (Evil, #1402, Asst 1400)
ZARAK (Evil, #1403, Asst 1400)
SKYLLA (Evil, #1404, Asst 1400)
RINGLERUN (Good, #1409, Asst 1405)
These were also available as a gift set, including with 6 miniatures : Kelek, Warduke, Elkhorn, Strongheart, Zarak and Ringlerun.
The two followings are presented as POSEABLE PLAYER CHARACTERS. They are taller, and you can move their arms and legs.
PERALAY (Good, #1446, about 3", Asst 1445)
STRONGHEART (Good, #1447, about 5", Asst 1445)
It seems there were at least four "sub series" of monsters. The list is from what I own, so it's of course greatly incomplete.
HUMAN/MONSTER Adventure Figures (Asst H5034)
- Stalwart Men-At-Arms (#5006)
- Steadfast Men-At-Arms (#5007)
- Heroic Men-At-Arms (#5008)
- Dwarves of the Mountain King (#5010)
- Sarken Mercenaries (#5011)
EVIL MONSTER Adventure Figures (Asst M5035)
- Orcs of the Broken Bone (#5012)
- Troglodyte & Goblin (#5013)
- Skeleton Soldiers of Sith (#5016)
BENDABLE MONSTER Adventure Figures (Asst B5036)
- The Five-Headed Hydra (#5018)
- The Neo-Otyugh (#5019)
- The Raging Roper (#5020)
- The Chimera (#5023)
LARGE MONSTER Adventure Figures (Asst L5037)
- Minotaur of the Maze & Crown Treasure (#5026)
- Odious Ogre & Book of Magic (#5027)
- Terrible Troll & Goblin (#5028)
Christophe, does the classification and information presented make sense to you?
Jake and Elwood, could you please help out with more info and possibly scans? _________________ Tome of Treasures - #1 resource for collectible role-playing games.
