What's your oldest mini?

[finnpalm]

Agreed! I have the hooded swordsman. He's absolutley tiny compared to modern lines. Is that other one a Balrog? Excellent sculpt!

Back in the days when 25 mm minis were 25 mm tall, unlike today when 25 mm minis are 32 mm tall. *rolleyes*

Here are some amongst my oldest fantasy minis. Depending on the company making them the size difference is quite noticeable (especially the leftmost knight). If I recall well, they are from the early-80's. Painting was with enamel and/or oil paints, acrylics were barely showing up at that time.

A pair of Grenadier box sets Fighting Men - The Warriors, and Wizards - Masters of Sorcery.

I was given those somewhere between '85-'87. Painted most of the Wizards set using 5-6 enamel paints. I still occasionally think of those unfortunate fellas and their need for a strip and repaint. Pretty neat models.

I have a Giant, Wizard, and A Tars Tarkas from Mars Mini from 1978, still use the Wizard, I have a set of RP Goblins from 1979 that we just used while playing Pathfinder the other day.
