Grenadier TSR Lizardman Logo Miniature RARE!
1977 Grenadier miniature representing the TSR Lizardman Logo
The 70 mm tall to the top of the weapon and 55 mm from head to toe is in fantastic shape condition. The miniature has no damage, is complete, and has been assembled, glued (the miniature was cast in 3 pieces), and lightly primed gray. The bottom is engraved, "TSR Lizzard Man ©1977".
According to David this miniature was given to the very few employees at TSR in 1977 to curry favor with the company and get the lucrative miniatures license from TSR. The rest is history, as Grenadier went on to create some of the most memorable miniatures as part of their Official Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line.
The Lizardman Logo for TSR was copied from an illustration inside the front cover of D&D Supplement I: Greyhawk by Greg Bell. The miniature is very exacting in detail and is a virtual copy of the original drawing. Clearly an effort by the Grenadier sculptor to show off his talent and win the license for his company. Amazing!
