Gamma World metal miniatures by Grenadier (1979)

I finally got around to IDing and sorting a bag of Gamma World metal miniatures by Grenadier (1979). I had enough to create a full Adventurers (0005) set, plus a number of other loose sets, grouped by type.

An invaluable aid was the Lost Minis Wiki, specifically the Gamma World miniatures page.

These are fairly rare today, and a number of these mutants, humanoids, and powered armor minis don’t have good photos on the internet, so I wanted to get these pics posted. Some are clearly GW miniatures, but I couldn’t find them on the wiki page.

As of this writing, these can be found on our sales site.

EDIT: An email I received, so I’ll copy it here:
Wayne,
Those Gamma World minis you recently posted about may be recasts.
There was some controversy around them. The pre-primed look was one of the give-aways.
I bought some years ago on eBay, but didn’t mind because I liked the scuplts and the price was reasonable.
Regards,
Chris

Adventurers (0005), from the box set of the same name.

A pair of Battle Armor figures. The **left** figure can be found in the Adventurers set above. I think the one on the **right** is an updated cast, as it is essentially the same figure except a different helmet. Kinda resembles Fallout powered armor.

Cryptic Alliance Healers, also from a blister pack

Unidentified Cryptic Alliance members in robes with blaster rifles

Powered Armor Troop, from a blister pack

Serfs, dangerous mutated humanoids with impressive mental mutations.

A Wolfoid with a staff. I saw other Wolfoids in the wiki, but not this one.

Wayne,

FYI – Some of the miniatures you have in the photos in your Gamma World miniatures post are recasts. A seller on eBay (“Collectorfigs”) is recasting them and he frequently mods original figures, then casts and sells them as original Gamma World figures. I have complained to eBay numerous times but they refuse to take action. He has also recast and sold figures belonging to others and they have had to complain about him to make him stop.

He always lists the figures as “white metal miniatures primed white”. The figures are often low quality.

The figures in your photographs that are not original Grenadier Gamma World are:
-The powered armor figure on the right in your first photo
-The hisser with a shotgun
-Both “Unidentified Cryptic Alliance in robes” figures (these are not Gamma World at all)
-The Serf on the left in your photo wearing a robe (stuck a Serf head on another non-GW figure)
-The Wolfoid with a staff.

Just thought you might want the record set straight.

-Dave

  Hi Dave. I’ll let your comment address the issue, as you speak more expertly about the issue than I could. Thanks for the information. Happy Gaming, -Wayne
