NECA & Wizkids to release Dungeons & Dragons figures of Warduke and Grimsword



NECA has announced that they are releasing 7-inch scale Dungeons & Dragons figures in 2022 starting with the figures of Warduke and Grimsword.


Wizkids, a subsidiary of NECA, has the licence to create D&D miniatures and figures from the current D&D owner Wizards of the Coast (part of Hasbro) and it is under this agreement that NECA will re-imagine the original 1980's LJN figures into their Ultimate format.



Warduke will feature a shield, longsword, small sword and knife - while Grimsword will be armed with a shield, scimitar and a snake-shaped flail. Each figure pays homage to the original TSR / LJN designs and packs them in the NECA Ultimate format packaging.



Pricing is $37 in the US with the figures initially up for order via the Wizkids website - they quote a Q4 release date for 2021. And while Wizkids do have International Shipping, I have not managed to add the D&D figures successfully against a UK address. The figures are now live for pre-order with BigBadToyStore and a March 2022 release date.



NECA has taken inspiration from the classic action figure releases and reinterpreted them for the modern collector's market, taking advantage of all of today's advances in technology and tooling. Warduke will come with signature accessories and in the Ultimate style packaging.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
