D&D 5E D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

Get official miniatures of the the 1980s D&D cartoon heroes in September for $29.95! The Dragons of Stormwreck Isle set is coming from WizKids and features slightly older versions of Hank the Ranger, Eric the Cavalier, Diana the Acrobat, and Presto the Magician, plus a cleric. There are only 5 miniatures, so there's no sign of Sheila the Thief, Bobby the Barbaria, or Uni the Unicorn.

These aren't technically the D&D cartoon heroes -- it appears that they're listed as Paladin, Cleric, Wizard, Fighter, and a Rogue. But they are clearly very heavily based on them.

Folks, these miniatures are in truth only a little over an inch tall. We're getting some really blown-up close ins. At arm's length, they're totally usable. If you want more detail, buy the 12" tall versions.

Yeah, all my medium-size minis are standard size, and look better. HeroForge, for example, looks much better.

I mean, they probably are cheap, which is fine if that's what you need or want, but I'd rather pay more for actual quality.

Yes, totally bought these for nostalgia and thinking not many other folks would. Will stick then in the “leave unopened” pile of gaming collection stuff. They were $29.99 at a FLGS; totally stumbled on them on an end cap.

Yeah, I mean we are talking ~$45 for colored Heroforge vs. ~$6 apeice for the Wizkids.

Yep, you get what you pay for. Eric would never pay just $6 for his OWN mini!

Clearly you all just warped in from the alternate dimension where the D&D cartoon featured a thief girl and some weird barbarian kid with a pet unicorn. Here in this dimension it was, of course, always just Grace the Cleric rounding out the five main characters of that show. Sorry for your confusion.

Wow, Diana found some clothes that finally fit.

But where the heck is Sheila and Bobby - or Uni for that matter?

As for Sheila I cant say, though my head canon is she is there just invisible lol. As for Bobby and Uni my research into current canon says that those two were rumoured to have been eaten by Tiamat some time ago, but then bobby at least reappeared In a comic book much older.
For my campaign I plan to have Hank, Diana, Presto, Eric and Terri are all searching for Bobby who went off alone to get revenge on Tiamat for nearly eating him and killing Uni. Sheila isnt depicted with the party as she went off after her brother solo.
My players are gonna help these heroes stop bobby from killing himself against Tiamat, reuniting him with his soulmate Terri.
Maybe theyll have a chance to rescue Uni from Hell, with Elminster's help who is Presto's teacher in current canon.

Definitely.

This is a prime example of where digital renders do not look anything like the final product.

Been there, done that, lol...

There was an ogre wandering around a battlefield and my 2nd Ed. thief was hiding underneath the loaded and cocked ballista. I threw a rock to cause a distraction so I could sneak away, but the ogre stopped directly in front of the ballista with its back to me...
So I shot him with a frickin' ballista from ten feet away, and then cheekily turned to the DM and said, "I get sneak attack damage on that, right?"

DM gave me The Look, and made me roll to hit and damage (x3 for SA, lol).




Definitely not interested in the minis, as there are so many much better options out there for the actual cartoon characters. Much rather have them reissue or update the old Portuguese pvc figures.

Sorry about the necro, but I'm only just now getting around to reading "Dragons of Stormwreck Isle"...

"Depict iconic heroes: Paladin, Cleric, Wizard, Fighter, and a Rogue." Huh?

Eric is a Paladin, I guess
Cleric is whoever that is
Wizard is obviously Presto.
Fighter is ... Hank?
Rogue is... Sheila... er Diana?

Looking at the design of that mace, isn't that Cleric Aleena?
