Can anyone identify this old Space Marine? I believe its from early 1990s, molded in one piece. Slotta base. I have taken a quick look at Solegends already, but can't find a match. Thanks

Looks like a marine from the 2nd Edition starter set.

Slightly earlier than that...

They were from the 2nd ed starter set, but were indeed later included in the paint set.

Are the hands and bolter separate push fit? The 2nd ed ones I have are, wasn't aware they made a one piece version.

They didn't.

On closer look, I think the hands are push fit. Left arm superglued to wrist, right one on a peg(?). They are glued very tightly though, absolutely no wiggle room.

Wonder how much they are worth now, but I think I'll use it as painting practice.

Thanks for fast replies! You guys are really free efficient!

Yeah, they were a pretty snug fit, and often didn't really need to be glued.

Bugger all. They were everywhere at the time, and they're still quite common on eBay or mixed in with 2nd hand armies.
