Wanted: Ral Partha Winged Panther
« on: September 11, 2008, 04:48:12 PM »
I know this is a long shot, but my first miniature ever was a Winged Panther figure, I am nearly positive it was by Ral Partha.  If by chance does anyone have one, and if so, could you post pictures/be persuaded to part with it.

It should still exist somewhere at my parents house, but I haven't seen it for near 15 years.  I would love to get one for my collection to place in a position of honor.

I think I found it, and yes your memory was correct it is Ral Partha.

That will be very difficult to obtain!!  A true beauty though.
May the Dark Lords of Lead-Free Pewter smile kindly upon you.

Apparently it's from one of the first series they ever put out. Difficult, but not totally impossible to find, but probably not on the cheap.

Yeah, I do believe that is it, though I don't recall the fur on the wings, either way, I hope I can get one.

I recall walking into a little book store around the time Magic was just starting up, we played a little D&D and I had like $5 I bought this and a Pegasus.  I'll talk to my dad and make sure if he finds it to set it aside.

w00t!!!

Now, I hope it stays low, right now I really can't afford it (hell I never can) but my wife has agreed to allow me up to $10 before shipping for this figure alone, solely on sentimental value.  Normally I try to run on a $2 per head limit.  Keeps her happy.  Except then I tend to buy in bulk . . . .

I'll put it on my watch list and keep an eye out on it. What is your eBay userid so I know it's you bidding?

I just got my Panther today, shipping took a while and the blister has had the **** kicked out of it, but the figure was in good shape.  I forgot how different lead feels to modern pewter.  It's nice.  Now, to wash my hands so I can eat.
