A few times selling on Ebay I have hit the jackpot. Well, my jackpot, anything over a tenner! ha ha.
This was one such sale five years ago, the small blue creature in the middle of the shot. Found in a box of tat at a car boot sale and purchased with the other figures for peanuts.
After some research at the time during the pandemic I discovered that the plastic creature was in fact a premium from an obscure line of lucky bags called Horror n Heroes, which have a collectors' cult following. The blue creature was and is a prized collectable for fans! The Chimera. Who knew!
You can read more about Horrors n Heroes here on the sadly now defunct Fantasy Toy Soldiers blog.
I'd never seen a Chimera before and haven't seen one since.
Have you?
Is it worth owt ?
