I've an old eBay search for the C34 carrion and noted there was a new one today listed for something crazy like £130, granted it's sealed, but madness money (who buys these?). Anyhow that seller also had the old Drastik Plastik orc blister for sale at the trifling amount of £70, again crazy. Now I've got one myself sat in the cabinet:
And that lead me onto searching eBay to see what they were generally listed for when I found this weirdness: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404278507818 and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255462761321
I was always a fan of the older blisters with their lovely artwork and I considered the red/yellow blisters as fairly late in the game - certainly later 4th edition and 5th edition WFB? So what is an ancient miniature that I barely remember being in the shops doing in that "modern" blister packaging? Granted back in the day of course the walls were covered in blisters so not having seen something doesn't really say much!
Does anyone remember seeing any - buying any? I always quite liked the model, but whilst churning out old metal into later editions was always fairly easy to do I can't imagine GW would have dug out an old steel injection mold for a small run. Were they old stock found in the depths of the citadel somewhere maybe? It piqued my curiosity!
