Oh, damn. These... are freaking awesome.
The original LJN line of D&D figures from 1983 were among some of my favorites as a kid. (Yes, I am old.)
I used to buy them from my local Kay-Bee Toys at the mall because they seemed to always be on discount. I didn't play D&D, but the figures were just too cool to pass up.
NECA is adding to their 7" scale of D&D with this new set of four 5" figures, faithfully recreated in the the original scale and designed to fit in perfectly with your original LJN D&D line of figures. These four figures made it to the prototype stage back in '84, but were never produced-- until now.
Featured will be Pulvereye, Skylla, Kelek and Valkeer.
I'm feeling a little more confident that NECA will be offering their SDCC exclusives in a larger arena other than just as SDCC. They didn't go through all this trouble creating new molds and packaging and figures just to potentially sell maybe 1,000 of them at SDCC. There's just too little money in that. They need to sell way more to make all this work worth their while-- which is more than fair, of course.
This will only be sold as a box set, so there's no picking and choosing here. No word on a price yet, but I'll bring you more info on this one and all of NECA's SDCC exclusives as it revealed.
