1985 Grenadier Models Justice League of America & Adversaries Miniatures



These pewter figurines were produced as part of the set 9501 Justice League of America & Adversaries, for use with Mayfair Games DC Heroes role-playing system. The ten figurines were sculpted by Andrew Chernak and John Dennett, and stand roughly 1.25" tall on average. You can see them all in this PDF of Grenadier's 1987 Photographic Compendium.



Good luck making out the individual figures. I managed to find the original box art on the internet, as well as views of what the interior packaging looked like. I also stumbled onto an expired eBay auction with nine of the figures, and swiped the pictures below. Based on past knowledge, fuzzy online references, and supposition, I came up with Darkseid, Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Brainiac, the Joker and the Flash. I bought three of these figurines off eBay in the late '90s, Darkseid and two Martian Manhunters. One was to be painted for me by a former customer/friend, but was never seen again, so now I only have the pair.

Darkseid was just becoming a big deal in the '80s through his prominence in the Super Powers Collection.

He seemed pretty flush with the new success...
