Giving completely new meanings to Biles Rod of torment and Abaddons Powerfist. 

 
You have spent too long speaking with Dirk.
It appears that he has warped your mind!

now that's an image I'm going to have trouble forgetting 

Don't worry, 1d4chan have got you covered....

Speaking of old figures...the Eldar range is almost as ancient as they are in the fluff.

[Timbor]

Metal Bloodbowl teams up for sale now, only a few days left. Im tempted to get some sent to my brothers house in England for my parents, who are visiting him at the moment, to bring back for me.

How long are your parents visiting? Doesnt it usually take several weeks for them to be cast and sent out since they are made to order? I thought it said up to 30 days or something.

Yep, Avatar, warp Spiders and Phoenix Lords, well I can remember them coming out when I was a kid!

I collect Sisters of Battle- I don't want to hear any griping about old miniatures

That's plenty of time but thanks for the heads up.

What are the citadel miniatures that have been available for the longest? I mean never having left the catalog? Eldar Avatar seems oldest to me, there's bound to be some classic Jes Goodwin stuff that's NEVER gone OOP?

The Avatar and Phoenix Lords must be surely. Those things are all ancient.

[Andrew May]

Those two old classic Servitor models?

[Elbows]

There was a thread on Dakka about this exact subject.

It came down to the Goff Rockers (some limited metal/resin figures still available on their site for no real reason) and a handful of the Eldar models.  I think the Avatar and a few of the Warlocks were the oldest recognizable models (followed closely by Warp Spiders, Phoenix Lords, etc.).  They were circa 1991-1992.

[Andrew May]

I was just thinking of those old farseer types. Goff Rockers don't count as they were OOP for years.

EDIT: Earliest date I can get on the classic servitors is 1993. I'm tempted to assault my WD collection to get it pinned down!

[Andrew May]

Then there's this pic, so they're pretty ancient.

That Ragnar Blackmane is still available.  It looks like he was out in 92, along with the servitors.

The Avatar came out in late 92 or early 93 according to the catalogues - near the time of the Phoenix Lords.

Yeah, they were released with the classic Wolf Priest originally. I'm sure my buddy had all those classic SW guys (I can't believe that Ragnar is still in production!) when we were in primary school (I'm currently 33!)
