elhonez Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 This is another line with some potentially exciting accessories and gear. But I'll probably be less cavalier about mining them for parts, mainly because I really want these characters. Quote
BuffaloDelorean Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Even coming from a novel, Drizzt is probably the most well-known D&D character, so it would be weird to skip over him. I think he was the only D&D action figure Hasbro bothered to make despite owning the brand. Quote
elhonez Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Conversely, they probably stopped at Drizzt because he didn't sell very well. So there is that. But +1 to BD because if Warduke is the Boba Fett of D&D, then Drizzt is the Luke Skywalker. Sure they lived in different worlds and timelines, but I'm speaking to comparable awareness and importance, relative to the IP. You could do a lot worse than a set with Drizzt, Bruenor, Wulfgar, Cattie-Brie, Gwenhwyvar and Artemis Entreri. Even if you don't know any of these characters, I'm sure you've seen 1,000s of variations of these names as online handles, or have been heckled by the likes of "Jarlaxle69" or "RegisFTW." Quote

Most of my minimates career (going on 20 years now) has been looking and scouting parts that would work to make different GI Joe/Thundercats/etc... customs. It is really the only reason i started making customs, to have my favorite characters in the minimates form. So now, with all the Hasbro stuff, I really don't have to do that anymore, which is a little sad, but also makes me very happy, because these are the ones I've wanted the entire time... It hits the most true with D&D because the parts and accessories are so unique to each character, I've never been able to make them the way I'd like to. I'm looking forward to this next phase of minimates, where i just collect, enjoy, and don't have to modify anything, lol Edited July 12, 2022 by Nervous Rex Quote
Freaqualizer Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 I always thought Strahd was a big name in the D&D world. But, with no one talking about I’m probably mistaken. LoL. One would also wonder if making a D&D figure named Vecna would be pretty good for brand awareness. But, I don’t know if the deal extends to include Vecna. A demigorgon would also be pretty eye opening. Quote
Mattallica Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 when i finally get these i think they will look good next to this guy Quote

SCW Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 I could definitely see there being some good parts to mine in this line. Quote
elhonez Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Early days yet, pre-reveal, but yeah I may have to brace my wallet for multiple-set impact if I want to keep a lot of parts for customs. And @SCW re: the probably rhetorical question in your sig: you play scales, obviously Quote
youbastards Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Zach - does the D&D license include the new movie? Quote
elhonez Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 They didn't show designs, but it sounded like the character selections were all finalized for the two sets (which I think we already knew). Can't wait to see these. Quote

elhonez Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I might have missed this answer, but does the license include the old LJN toys, like what Neca's doing in the 7" scale? Quote
Padrino Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 I can't wait for these! When are they being solicited? Quote
DSTZach Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Not sure, to be honest, Ask DST! But we are making one of those characters, so maybe? Edited July 29, 2022 by DSTZach Quote
