These figures represent some of the mid- to high-level Undead monsters which haunt the deeper levels of dungeons and ruined castles. Each blister pack contained 3 figures, a Ghast, a Lich & a Wight. The Ghast figure was replaced in 1986. There seem to be 6 or 7 variants of each casting, and the only differences on the variant figures are found in head detail and facial features.
Pose 1, variant A. This is the Lich, an evil spellcaster in Undead form. He wears once-opulent robes and a cloak which are now badly tattered, and has a sceptre, a purse and a couple of rolled scrolls tucked into his sash. This particular variant has a completely skeletal head, and wears a jewelled crown. His mouth is closed and he looks directly forwards.
Pose 1, variant B. This variant has a flesh-covered face, and wears a battered wizard's hat with a brim. His mouth is open as if moaning and he looks sharply upwards.
Pose 1, variant C. This Lich variant has a flesh-covered face with many wounds and holes in it, most noticeably on his left cheek and right temple. His left ear is intact, but his right is missing. He has short hair with a centre parting, and wears a jewelled circlet around his head. His mouth is open and he looks upwards and slightly to the right. This variant is easy to mistake for 1D.
Pose 1, variant D. This variant has a decomposing but flesh-covered face, and neither of his ears seem to be intact. He has shoulder-length hair with a centre parting, and wears a jewelled circlet around his head. His mouth is open and he looks upwards and slightly to the right. This variant is easy to mistake for 1C.
Pose 1, variant E. This variant has a flesh-covered face, and wears a battered wizard's hat without a brim. He has long, straggly hair, his mouth is open as if snarling and he looks to his left.
Pose 1, variant F. This variant has a decomposing, flesh-covered face, and is bare-headed apart from an engraved circlet around his forhead. He has long, straight hair with a centre-parting, his mouth is open as if shouting and he looks straight forwards.
Pose 2, variant A. This is the first of 2 versions of the Ghast, which was replaced by a remodelled version in 1986. This figure wears a tattered loincloth and crouches with his right knee touching the ground, his right arm raised and his left hand resting on his left knee. This variant has a balding head, but with some staggly hair at the back. He looks downwards and to his left with his mouth open in a shout.
Pose 2, variant B. This variant has a completely bald head. He looks upwards and to his right with his mouth open in a snarl.
Pose 2, variant C. This Ghast has a shaggy hairstyle. He looks upwards and to his right with his mouth open in a shout.
Pose 2, variant D. This variant has long, straggly hair hanging down the sides of his face and down his back. He looks downwards and to his front with his mouth open in a shout.
Pose 2, variant E. This variant has a completely bald head. He looks sharply over his right shoulder, and his mouth is open showing sharp upper fangs and a protruding, pointed tongue.
Pose 3, variant A. This is the second of 2 versions of the Ghast, a remodelled version introduced in 1986. This figure wears a tattered loincloth and crouches with his right knee off the ground, his right arm by his right shoulder and his left hand reaching out to the side. Like the remodelled Ghoul II of ADD93, these figures are bald, with bony ridges running along the top of the head and down the spine. This variant has a broad head, small rounded ears, and he looks sharply to his right with his slightly open mouth revealing sharp front teeth.
Pose 3, variant B. This variant has a narrow head, short pointed ears, and his head is tilted and looks sharply to his right, with his open mouth revealing a set of sharp teeth.
Pose 3, variant C. This variant has a broad head, short pointed ears, and he looks sharply to his left with his open mouth revealing sharp front teeth and a protruding tongue.
Pose 3, variant D. This variant has a broad head, short pointed ears, and he looks straight to his front with his mouth partly open in a snarl.
Pose 3, variant E. This variant has a broad, flat face, small rounded ears, and he looks forwards and slightly down with his open mouth revealing sharp front teeth.
Pose 3, variant F. This variant has a round face with a pointed chin, small pointed ears, and he looks half right and slightly down with his open mouth revealing sharp front teeth and a protruding tongue pointing downwards and to his right.
Pose 4, variant A. This figure is a Wight, an evil Undead creature much feared for its level-draining ability. It wears a tattered cloak and a loincloth. This variant has long hair, but with a short fringe. It has a near-skeletal face with its mouth wide open barring its teeth, and looks straight forwards.
Pose 4, variant B. This variant has a balding head, but with long hair at the back. It has a flesh-covered face with its mouth wide open barring its teeth, and looks straight forward, but with its head sharply tilted to the right.
Pose 4, variant C. This variant wears a tattered hood attached to its cloak. It has a skeletal face with its mouth wide closed but barring its teeth, and looks straight forwards.
Pose 4, variant D. This variant has long, straggly hair with a centre-parting. It has a near-skeletal face with its mouth open barring its teeth, and looks slightly to its right.
Pose 4, variant E. This variant has short, slicked-back hair, combed into a peak on top. It has a decomposing fleshy face with its mouth slightly open but no teeth visible, and looks straight forwards.
Pose 4, variant F. This variant has long straggly hair flowing down its back. It has a near-skeletal face with its mouth wide open barring its enormous set of teeth, and it looks straight forwards.
