In 1983, toy company LJN released a toyline based on TSR's Advance Dungeons & Dragons. The toyline included action figures with five points of articulation (5PoA), but also solid figures, bendy figures and miniature figures for use in the role playing game.
About[]
Many of the characters/creatures featured in the LJN toyline made appearances in the 1983 Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, but the main characters from the cartoon did not appear in the toyline.
In anticipation of the release of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) movie, NECA picked up a D&D license to make action figures based on the LJN toyline. As of Summer 2024, only 5 figures have been released, with no announcements for upcoming figures.
