C46 The Travelling Players - October 1987

According to Bryan Ansell, the Travelling Players were never designed to be a special set. They have, however, become extremely collectable and therefore highly sought after.
There are 2 illustrations of the range, one in White Dwarf 96, page 64 which shows 22 pieces and the other in the October 1987 mail order flyer which shows 25, additionally including the Lute Hero, Flake and the Loudmouth.
The names on the ads and on the slottabase tabs are in some cases different, the Flake, Loudmouth, Ruffian and Thug all being marked Gypsy on their tabs.
