Novice collector needs ID help

[Deleted]

Hi all,

I'd be very grateful if someone can help me to ID the Mithril figures on my Photobucket site:

s109.photobucket.com/albums/n77/bridgend_steve/Mithril/

Are any of these particularly rare or unusual?

BTW, I'm guessing the slain dragon in "Mithril set 6" is not actually Mithril (I think it is Grenadier).

thanks
Steve

What are the codes on the bases? All Mithril figures have codes.
That would make the job much easier.

I don't know the actual figures aren't in my possession yet.

in the Mithril set 6, the M18 has been somehow converted to have a dragon tooth or something alike in his hand instead of the regular hawk... the base is not from Mithril but there is also a third figurine in front , focus is not on it and we only see its back... hard to guess which reference it is, but this set is clearly a handmade diorama.

quite impressive , zoetrop, the precision of your answer

Thanks Zoetrop that's extremely helpful. It's odd that figures can be classified as rare but seem to be worth so little (relatively speaking)!

Gildor - the third figure you mention is quite an interesting one...I was offered this diorama based on the picture shown on my website. My eyes focussed in on the dragon and I was completely unaware of that third figure. Anyway, I purchased the diorama, and on receiving it discovered that the third figure was...an M16 Female Ranger!!! :-)

Now that's what I call a stroke of good fortune!

congratulations, bridgeandsteve, a very good choice indeed to purchase that 'diorama'

[Zoetrop]

congratulation bridgeandsteve,

M16 is realy rare!!!

If it´s complete (with the sword) the price is between 350,00 and 450,00 Euro. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes, it appears to be complete. She has a sword but I couldn't say 100% that it is the original M16 - perhaps if I post a pic someone will be able to determine this?

thanks

[Theobald]

Or you just might have a look at MMP (database) where you can find pics of the lady ... so you could compare.

thanks for the advertisment Theobald

Good point Theobald, thanks.
