Citadel TSR Elf MU Low Level (1985)

In 1985 Citadel launched a range of AD&D figures, co-branded with TSR. It was an interesting concept as heroes were sold in sets of three, representing low level, middle level and high level characters. This post's miniature is the low level tier for the ADD16 Elf MU (Magic User).

The sculpt is obviously Citadel, and namely Jes Goodwin's. What's interesting is that the scale is different from regular Citadel minis. Or perhaps there was a conscious decision to scale down Elves according to D&D lore vs. Warhammer lore, which was influenced by Tolkien. Whatever it is, you can compare this piece with Marauder figures of the same era (sorry for the messy picture).

I painted the sculpt to represent a short Sea Elf Magician, so I kept my usual Sea Elf cold colours, and added some pink for variety. The base also ties him in with the rest of his companions.
