D&D General Metal Miniatures Based On the 1977 D&D Basic Set Box

The first of a collection of old-school metal Dungeons & Dragons miniatures based on classic D&D art pieces will be released in February by Sirius Miniatures.

Based on David Sutherland's art for the cover art of the 1977 D&D 'Holmes' Boxed Set, the zinc-alloy miniatures feature a large red dragon (75mm), and the wizard and the fighter shown on the box's cover.

Unusually these days, the miniatures are not made of plastic. While they're not made of lead (for obvious reasons) like they were in the 1970s-1980s, they are metal miniatures made from a zinc alloy, which give the miniatures a heft that feels different to the plastic equivalents,

The miniatures will cost $49.95, and are the first set in a series of old-school miniature sets based on classic D&D covers and art pieces.

I love this. My very first D&D product... Holmes Basic.

Hey there, this is Justin and i am the producer of the Holmes Boxed Set - Sirius Metal.

The box set was my entry point into the game and I wanted to give a little something back to the fans.

Can’t wait for you to see everything we have for future sets.

Let m know if you have questions.

I probably overlooked it on the site but is there a release or preorder date?
