WizKids will release new miniatures with a DungeonGlo effect later this year. Today, WizKids revealed their next set of branded D&D miniatures - D&D Icons of the Realms: Underdark Expeditions. The new set contains 44 different miniatures, including some that have a glow-in-the-dark effect. The set will contain mostly classic D&D creatures like the gelatinous cube, the flumph, and the hook horror, with monsters like the gas spore having a glow-in-the-dark effect. It's unclear whether this new set uses artwork from the 2014 version of 5th edition or the 2025 Monster Manual as inspiration.

As a note, WizKids' parent company NECA is one of the largest unsecured creditors of Diamond Comics Distributors, which owns Alliance Games Distributors. Diamond owes NECA $2,682,994, as revealed in its recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Universal Distribution has an offer to buy Alliance Games although the large balance may impact WizKids' 2025 plans, especially as Alliance is a core distributor for WizKids.

D&D Icons of the Realms: Underdark Expeditions will come out in May 2025.

I'm not sure those monsters, if I'm reading it right, even make sense as glowing. A gelatinous cube doesn't want to draw more attention to itself.

Better would be generic Underdark fungi, for "we're sick of tracking torches and light spells, six months into this underworld campaign" purposes.
 




Wow! If I bought these I think I would see them glow exactly two times. First when they initially arrive and I'm alone. After that, it would be just before I switch the light back on at the gaming table so we can actually play.

And then a third time, when you think you're alone at night, when you're awoken by a quiet scraping and the sight of a glowing ghoul on your nightstand, inches from your face ...
