That's really freaking cool! Thanks heaps for sharing, bro.
Weird that they didn't put an aspect of the real Demogorgon, the two-headed demon prince, who was the real villain of Mikes adventure. They used petalhead instead. Still, it will likely attract new players, so I'm all for it.
I wasn’t interested until I saw the ‘80s style’ dice mentioned.
Of course I could probably get those online anyways...
80's style dice? Does this mean they are cheap plastic and uninked? Do they look like lame chewy candies? Does a crayon come in the box so you can fill the number indentations with wax so you can read the dice from more than 3 feet away? That's what I consider 80's style dice.
Interesting that it is being sold by Hasbro and not WOTC. There was a Demogorgon that was the smaller/near original size that was a FLGS bonus mini if you purchased the classic creatures set they did a while back.
Both Wizards and Hasbro's logo are on the box. I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro is doing a big Stranger Things toy push this Summer, and this plays into that.
I tend to think of that as more 70s style dice.
Wait a moment! I am thinking. If this an agreement between WotC and Netflix... why not to think this is the first step? Maybe we will see Hasbro toys about some Netflix franchise, or cartoon videogames about some Hasbro's toy, for example a reboot for young adults of "Inhumanoids".
Or they have given up on plans for a D&D movie for now and are secretly working on a series with Netflix.
