D&D General This cost $20

I like the look of the troll. I dig the cartoonish design..

With that said.. I'm glad it was your $20 and not mine. That's rough

I love the style! I'd legit buy them all but for some reason WotC thinks this is a premium product at a premium price.

I got the flame salamander as a Christmas stocking gift. It's okay looking, but not worth anywhere near $20, and I'd be hesitant to drop it on a battlemat as an actual mini. They do kinda look like something you'd expect to see as a '80s knock-off toy.

If they end up in the bargain bin (as I expect they will), they'd be worth at most $5, more likely half that.

Here's hoping they get the Ollie's treatment the Campaign Cases got.. I'd buy a ton at $3/ea

Not really premium price anymore.

WotC does not appear to be the one that made or sold that.

I would assume they had to approve it though.

Doing a small amount of research these are apparently "Vinyl figures" as in vinyl statues. Which seems to make me think these are meant for display.

But STILL I can get a vinyl statue of a more detailed wizard (or damn near anything else) that is 4X larger for $20. The price is still ridiculous.

I do not think that is generally how licenses for that kind of collectible ephemera work. I think they just pay WotC to slap D&D on the package and create a somewhat identifiable likeness.

In what way? I would imagine pricing is strictly purview of the one doing the work.

IDK, I think you have to work pretty hard to blame WotC for this. It is more on the mfr and you IMO. Unless your blaming WotC for making a popular product (D&D) that others are trying to profit from.

I would rather blame WotC for things they really are at fault for and not dilute the cause with frivolous claims.
