WizKids has provided Dungeons & Dragons fans with a new look at the 2024 Red and Black Dragons thanks to a new set of bookends. This week, WizKids revealed two new 7-inch resin bookends, one featuring the head of the newly redesigned red dragon and the other featuring the head of the newly redesigned black dragon. Both individual bookends will be released in Q2 2025 with a recommended retail price of $59.99. Notably, WizKids has stated that this will be the start of a new line of official D&D Bookends.

As part of D&D's 50th anniversary and the release of a new set of Core Rulebooks, Wizards of the Coast also redesigned the game's chromatic and metallic dragons, marking the first significant redesign of the game's iconic monsters since Ted Lockwood's versions of the dragons for D&D 3rd edition. Wizards has revealed each of the dragons at a slow and deliberate pace, using the new dragons to promote the just released Player's Handbook. The dragons themselves will be in the 2025 Monster Manual, which will be released in February.

WizKids also recently announced plans to produce a miniature of the redesigned Black Dragon, marking the first of the new dragons to get their own tabletop miniature.

I like the new looks, but the black dragon's face being acid-damaged doesn't make a lot of sense -- shouldn't its interior be completely destroyed starting at the point that the acid becomes chemically reactive? Black dragons can just have skull faces because Tiamat thought it looked awesome.
Maybe they're now like the dragons in Reign of Fire that require external oxygen to activate their breath weapon? So the splash back bleaches their face but doesn't affect them internally.

Or maybe he's like a dog and is just old :p
