So I just acquired some very old, 80s classic metal Pink/Blue Horrors. About 20 of them. Here's an example picture of what a few of them look like:

NOTE: The above picture are not my models, merely models of the same edition as the ones I have.

I got an offer for them, and it looked like a deal, but after some searching, I found they might be very rare and sought after. I could be imagining it though, so I come to ask what you folks think. Are these guys worth something, and if so, how much?

Regards,
Shadelkan

They look like the very original Horrors, which IIRC came as one pinky with two blues in the blisters.

They date to around the release of Realm Of Chaos, so, maybe late 80s?

Rare, almost certainly, sought after? Not by me, but, as the phrase goes, where would you buy more of them? If they're thin enough on the ground and enough people want them, then yes, they could be worth money, Diaznettes regularly sell for between £5-8 each.

I doubt they're that popular, but I wouldn't think £3-4 would be impossible.

I have 80 of those little sucka's in a carry case.
Never really thought of them being worth much at all.

Do a search for completed sales on ebay, its about as easy as posting on here and will tell you their current value.

Compared to many of the desirable oop models from that era those arent so valuable. It doesnt help that they suck as troops in the current edition of fantasy, the 40k demon book sucks and the current plastic ones are very sinilar in appearance thus reducing the wow factor.

Thanks for the replies. I checked ebay, but hadn't considered checking the UK ebay.

I don't believe anyone who really cares about winning will want them, merely people who actually enjoy the models; they might like the hand gestures for example.
