Pinnacle Products
From Lost Minis Wiki
Pinnacle Products was a label Grenadier Models set up to tackle more mainstream markets. In 1982 Grenadier released several 25mm miniatures boxed sets under the Pinnacle Products brand, including Fantasy Lords, Fantasy Monsters, Dinosaurs, and G.I. Assault Team and two sets for the film The Dark Crystal. The following year they released several Masters of the Universe sets. The Collect and Paint sets came with painting trays, paints, and a painting guide.
Several of these product codes would be later reused by other series: Jurassic Age Dinosaurs & Julie Guthrie's Dragons.
