1981 - Very retailer Rare - Minfigs Castle Diorama / DM Screen -Mint / Unpunched

This is a very rare item. This is a diorama / DM Shield made by Heritage USA in 1981 and designed by Cynthia Sims Millan.

Dimensions: 12.75 inches x 11 inches

This was originally sold as a display for hobby shops to display Minifigs LED figures for retailer Dungeons & Dragons. As you may or may not know Minifigs became Ral Partha in 1986.

Prior to that Minifigs had been making LED figures for war games and fantasy role-playing games since 1964.

This piece was made all the more rare because there weren't that many of the Mets to begin with and many of them didn't last over a long abusive use. And much fewer still remain on punch from 1981. I have three of these left and this is one of them.
