Rare 1987 First-Casting House Davion Infantry – Full 6-Pose Squad
Up for sale from Grungy's Retro Garage is a verified, complete squad of House Davion Foot Infantry for BattleTech. These are the highly desirable 1987 original lead-alloy castings, confirmed by the "RAL PARTHA © 87" stamps on the bases.
Why these are a must-have for your collection:
Complete Squad: You get all 6 unique standing sculpts—no random duplicates.
Specialist Minis Included: Contains the rare Field Radio/Telephone Operator and the Portable LRM Specialist.
Original Lead Alloy: These feature the crisp detail and weight only found in the pre-1993 lead runs.
All-Standing Variety: Perfect for players who want a uniform-looking unit on the hex map.
Pristine Condition: Bare metal, unpainted, and no "lead rot."
Scale: 1/285 (approx. 10mm tall). See photos for scale next to a US dime and ruler.
Note: Listing is for ONE set of 6 unique miniatures. 7 sets are currently available if you are looking to build a full reinforced company!
Each of your 7 sets includes the full variety of sculpts produced for this platoon:
Field Radio Operator (RTO): The "Command" figure holding a handset/telephone to his ear.
LRM Specialist: Carrying a portable Long Range Missile launcher tube over the shoulder.
Firing Rifleman: Braced in a standing firing position.
Ready Rifleman: Weapon held at "high port" alert carry.
Advancing Rifleman: Sculpted in a walking/striding motion with rifle at the hip.
Support Scout: Standing alert with a sidearm or tech gear.
Collector Highlights
Uniform Aesthetic: This is the "All Standing" variant. Collectors prefer these over mixed kneeling/standing lots because they look more cohesive on the game board.
High Detail Density: Because these are early-generation lead castings, the rifles, backpacks, and face-sculpts have sharper lines than later pewter "reprints."
Investment Grade: As original 1980s lead, these pieces hold their value better than modern Iron Wind Metals reproductions.
