Found these in a small bag in a bits lot. Was this sold as a set back then? Who are they and how old exactly?





I like the two on the lower left, especially the one in the boxing stance.

Snotlings, possibly some from the pump waggon.

I want to say at least WHFB 5th ed, so mid 90s? Would have to dig.

At least some show up in the 93 catalog, more in the 97, including the wagon.

Came 9 to a blister, and the wagon had it’s own.

I had some of the Snotlings with the nets but can't remember who made them. I know for a fact that I bought a few blister packs made by marauder miniatures but I think the ones with the nets were from Citadel.
found some on collecting-citadel-miniatures.com they have a picture from White Dwarf 81

Some of the unarmed ones are from the '91 Snotling Blood Bowl team, which seems to be rather elusive picture-wise, but there's a Catalogue shot of them here:

Tsagualsa and Nevelon you are scholars and gentlemen.

Thanks, guys!
That's very helpful.

Are these the record holders for oldest GW minis still in production?

Nah, they're selling Bugman's Cart from 1987. That's a lot older!

I always thought the scatter die was was the oldest and longest serving GW product.

Most Snotlings are from 86/87, with another bunch released by Marauder in 1990.

The original scatter dice were from 1991, though the current scatter die design seems to have been updated since then.

Huh. Learned something new. Thank you!

Did they invent a new direction?

The original said HIT. The new one had a Target symbol with a small arrow.

I remember that a few of these would be included in multiple Orc and Goblin products. The idea was that you would add them to the bases as decoration. They didn't do anything when game-wise when added to bases, they were just to add flavor.
