This is a 1978 Heritage 1104-E Superhero from the Der Kreigspielers Fantastiques 1100 range.
The full set name is "Flying Gargoyle Chief Abducting Maiden from Superheros Harem", and also contained a gargoyle chief with base, and 2 maidens.
Apparently the Chief was successful as I only have the Superhero from the set. I'm guessing the others are in the possession of a friend from times past.
This mini was painted back in the 70's ( probably with Humbrols) and was in decent shape, but I think someone needed a Paladin for gaming and had carved cross lines in the shield with an Xacto. I stripped the paint and managed to grind and buff out the lines before painting it.
I really enjoy the old minis!
On to the Larder!
Well this is a new mini on me, but he’s certainly of a vintage. I’m not sure I get the superhero branding though! The rest of the set sounds delightful.
