The DVD set with the adventure and stated characters came out in 2006. So kinda close.
Fair, just as someone in my 20's during 3E, and how other 80's nostalgia brands were doing things at the time, looking back it feels like a bit more 80's cartoon and action figure references at that time would have made sense.
 


Saw that a few character sheets from this are floating around the webs 🕸️ nothing on adventure - just the sheets for the DnD iconics (wink).

Super high level, does this feel like a self-contained thing or a preview like the Lost Caverns of Taojcanth (for the DMG, say)?
Level Four. Self-Contained. Hilarious.

Honestly, as someone who started playing g in the 21st century and hence lacking nostalgia for this stuff...I think it is actually rather mysterious that TSR and WotC haven't made more use of the cartoon and action figure stuff until recently?

Hot take, but I think certain figures have over estimated the popularity of the action figures and cartoon, they had their fans, but compared to alot of novel characters they weren't that popular.
