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.


ADD78 - Meazel, Xvart, Synad and Mite Blister Pack


Originally listed under code "ADD87" in several 1985 / 1986 flyers the blister pack was produced with the code "ADD78" stamped on it. The code "ADD78" is also used on the 1987 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Final Sale Flyer which is undated [Stuff of Legends] in which all old stock was offered at discount prices as TSR had pulled the license. Details are in the [Time Line]

It would also seem the staff at citadel misspelled "Snyad" on the blister pack and flyers produced from that period by transposing the n and y. Advanced Dungeons and Dragon literature notes the spelling of the creature as "Snyad". The tab on the miniature itself displays the correct spelling "Snyad".
