The Call of Cthulhu line was brought out in 1983 and supported by a module for the RPG also published by Grenadier called "The Horrible Secret of Monhegan Island" (1984) [1]. Following the loss of the licence to RAFM, many of Grenadier's figures in this line were renamed and re-assigned to the new Nightmares (Grenadier) line. Mirliton now produces most of these figures under their own Nightmares line (NM prefix), though a few have transitioned into their Fantasy lines (UD037 Ghosts, CH015 Bloodsniffers). Currently, Mirliton is the copyright holder to all these figures.

Note: the Mirliton adventurers figures have been modified and are different to these original "Call of Cthulhu" figures: the old figures (25mm scale) have had their legs resculpted and made longer so that now appear 28mm in scale.

The blister packs in the UK were different than those released in the US. The first dozen codes seem to line up albeit with slight variations on the pack names (for example, 201 was named G-Men in the US and Federal Agents in the UK) and they may have contained the same figures. However, at code 213 and beyond there are definite mismatches between the US and UK versions. 213 was Cthonians in the US and Daredevils in the UK. It is unclear if the UK released included any figures that were never released in the US. The UK listing includes figures that don't seem to correspond to any of the US blister packs (for example 227 Great Race of Yith) however those figures may have been from the boxed sets.
