Hi John,
There was only one release. The mini manufacturer started packaging and =
selling the minis before Sergio sent him the art to use on the packages. =
Consequently, there are the red packages with the Dark Horse symbol (no =
relation to the comic publisher) and the green packages with art by =
Sergio drawn specifically for the packages. =20
Many of the red packages have a little orange sticker with a Groo =
drawing on it. This is a drawing the manufacturer lifted from some where =
and is not original art. =20
And since someone usually asks, the minis came out just before Rufferto =
was introduced, That's why there is no Rufferto mini. =20

I was just taking a look on eBay and found this : =
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3D1775008562=20
Miniatures for sale. This is obviously Dark Horse, but the box differs =
greatly from the boxes I have (numbered 701 702 703). Did Dark Horse =
release these twice?
I am guessing Gary will know.
