How will you be able to get these action figures in the UK? I mean through UK retail channels, not US-based resellers on the secondary market.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already but I missed the answer.

I DO remember that. I'm mid 40s, and I have a vivid childhood memory of my grandfather, who lived through the Depression, saying when he was a kid, "We had a piece of 2x4, and that was a truck. If we got lucky, we could nail some spools to it for wheels" (quote might not be word-for-word, it's a 40-year-old memory.)


And kids are aging out of action figures at younger and younger ages; I wish I had a supportable source for this, but I know Hasbro investor meetings have presented this challenge. Adult collectors become a target demo then.

Me? I went ahead a preordered Venger and DM as soon as I could, because, "Hey, goofy fun." I'm not sure on the kids.

I admit at 45, I still go through the toy aisle to see if there is anything cool.

And admittedly, I have bought some classic style Transformers. Some classic style He-Man, classic style TMNT, all more or less just like I had when I was a kid. And now some classic D&D cartoon figures in pre-order because I loved then and still love now that cartoon.

I would love to have a DM, but not for 50 bucks.

US-only? WTF?

US-only? WTF?

It's what we get in exchange for one of the worse healthcare systems in a 1st world country.

They'll turn up at random online stores, or the dread that is Ebay

I would bet on a $50 Tiamat, as well as $25 Eric and Diana figures, in the next waves, giving us the d4, d6 and d10 dice as well (not necessarily in that order).

No way Tiamat is only $100 unless it's not remotely to scale. The Tiamat mini from WizKids is $400 MSRP and would be too small to be at scale with these figures. LOL

I feel like you may be expecting a lot more realism from these action figures from a decades-old cartoon show than they're likely to deliver.

Still holding out for the Sheila figure...

I wish they could put the cartoon back out on DVD. I had the original set, with the book, but it's disappeared. I fear I lent it to someone who never returned it, but I don't know.

Same here at 58, but in my case it's usually me searching for Godzilla figures. Because apparently the 27 I have so far isn't enough....
