AD&D - Small Figure Sets

Grenadier released the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Figureline in 1980 as an officially licensed product from TSR Hobbies Inc. The AD&D - Small Figure Sets contained models in 25mm scale. The set numbers and many of the models were later reused in the Dragon Lords - Fantasy Boxed Sets range after Grenadier lost the AD&D license.
