The Energon Pub

This morning I found Hank and Diana, the first two single carded figures from the Classic Dungeons & Dragons line at a target that had just finished the toy reset. Being a huge fan of the toon since it came out in the 80's this line will be gobbled up by me

They had this set as well

I started with Diana, they are in the new "eco friendly" boxes from Hasbro so it is pretty much a blind box purchase.

This is how they are packaged

She comes with D20 dice

Two bow staffs, one standard

The other with action "swirls" to simulate her spinning it

All in all I like her and will being sucked into the whole line just for 80's nostalgia sake

Now I noticed on the package that she had the thigh swivel feature

However the actual figure does not (this is also visible on the pulse website which I had not checked)


So I called Hasbro Pulse and spoke to an associate, she told me that the pictures for the packages are taken at different stages of production and it was most likely that this one was taken in early production and at some point they decided to remove that swivel. I did express the "blind box" issue and how it makes buying stuff a bit tougher because most people like to see what they are purchasing especially an action figure like this that has a certain amount of detail with it. I can see that in the future this could be frustrating for us and from a CS standpoint difficult for them with tons of complaints.

I got Hank The Ranger and own a Sheila the thief Statue. I plan on getting Bobby the Barbarian.

The DND brand might have been killed off by hasbro and wizards of the coast. They might still sell the rest of the toys, if a wave 2 comes out.

Wave 2 of DND is coming out. I plan on getting Sheila the thief and Presto the mage. I am not collecting eric the cavalier.

I got Bobby the barbarian also now.

I still can't see who would be in Wave 3? Apart from Tiamat and Venger's horse. No other character was a recurring one. Considering the kids never changed their look. Unless they want to release them in their theme park/real world clothes? There isn't even the possibility of alternate redecos for them in future waves either.
