I'm a bit late, but here are a few more info.

Dimensions (in centimeters) :
Asst No 1400/1405 : 20.3x12.5x2.8
Asst No 1445 : 25.4x17.6x2.8 (btw, Ralf, the scans for Peralay and Strongheart are not 2 1/2" figures, but 3 3/4")
Asst No 5034/5035/5036/5037: 22.7x22.7x4.5 or 6.4 (last figure vary according to the size of the figure, this may be true for other figures lines, but I don't have examples)

Ok, I've corrected that. When skipping through the six blister packs, it becomes obvious that Strongheart is much larger (though Peralay is nearly as small as those from the 2.5'' line).

Could you please check, if it's correct now in your opinion? When you have time for more scans, I'm always happy to stick them on the website. Thanks for now!

I've added two more Action Figures, submitted by Shawn and Devon:

Northlord and Ogre King.

I've classified them for 3.75 inch series. Looking at the pictures I now believe that was incorrect. They look more like 5 inch figures to me.

Shawn, Devon can you tell me which one they are?

The Action Figure department in its current state is all we have so far. I've queried Don (necronaut) for more scans, maybe he can help out.

It doesn't look like a sticker, so I suppose it was added for distribution in Europe.
I also saw canadian versions, with figure names in both english and french on the card.

A lot of hard work for the completist! Laughing

Check out these two Battle-Matic AD&D figures from the UK, they went pretty high:

Only two different bidders, it could have ended very low else. Battle-Matic used to reach much higher price, IIRC. They were not very solid, for what I know, and it's hard to find working figures.
A couple of years ago, it was not unusual to see them sold for $150 (for the mint on card)
That's a good thing you've awaken this thread, I should consider to auction my figures. I don't expect much, though, and it's always a pain to ship this. If Im' not too lazy, I'll try to sell some.

Speaking of Action Figures . . . I know it's my own auction, but I had a little bit of fun setting these up (and I made a joke of myself in the process) Razz

Incidentally, this auction has 36 watchers with 4 days to go! In over 4 years the record I had was 22 watchers for a Battletech Star League . . . even the Daystar Pharaoh I sold had only 20 watchers . . .

Good one! Reminds of that scene in 'Spaceballs'
"No, sir! I didn't see you playing with you dolls again." ROFLMAO

I am stunned at the current high bid on my lot of Action figures. $222.51 with two hours to go shocked

Nice result, indeed. Must be Tiamat ! Maybe it's time for me to sell mines.
