Base Markings (Grenadier)
Up until 1983 Grenadier's base markings varied. Around 1983 they adopted codes clearly marked on the base of each figure. These were not the product codes seen in catalogs or on boxes and blister packs. The codes consisted of an alphabetic prefix followed by a number. See: examples.
