"It's a Dungeons & Dragons ride!"

Some time around 1983, my twin loves of action figures and Dungeons & Dragons met in unholy matrimony in the form of a toy line from LJN. I only ever managed to get about a half-dozen of these (I thought some of them looked pretty stupid even in the primitive age of action figures), but the ones I did get were some of my favorites.

Notably, Warduke is a personal favorite, as should be clear by looking at the cover of Dungeon #105, which I comissioned along with my friend and colleague Sean Glenn. The image was painted by Wayne Reynolds, one of our favorite artists.

In any event, I was poking around the web doing some research a few days ago, and I came across an interesting site on the old D&D toys. It turns out there were a lot more toys than I'd imagined, and even a few unproduced gems that I'd never seen before.

All in all a fun diversion.
