Call of Cthulhu (Grenadier)
Grenadier released the Call of Cthulhu line 1983. It was 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 various fantasy lines (UD037 Ghosts, CH015 Bloodsniffers). Currently, Mirliton is the copyright holder to all these figures.

UK Releases
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.
