D&D: Grimsword and Warduke Get Action Figures from WizKids
WizKids has two of NECA’s new 7″ scale action figures up for pre-order, the grim, sword-wielding Grimsword and also Warduke.
Dungeons & Dragons, in another world, would have been one of those big tent pole action figure commercials disguised as 80s cartoons. People would look back with sugar-addled nostalgia at the breakfast cereal they ate while watching adventures that never change the status quo.
To the point that there was even a line of D&D Action Figures. Each one more colorful than the last. They were about as 80s as it gets.
And now they’re back! WizKids has a line of 7″ scale action figures, each one bearing the label of “ultimate.” Between the grim sword of Grimsword and Warduke’s half-plate taken extremely literally, that’s two classic villains returning in POG action figure form!
Pre-Order D&D 7″ Scale Action Figure: Ultimate Grimsword – $34.99
NECA’s Ultimate action figures are collector-friendly, 7-inch scale, near-definitive figures with multiple accessories to allow a collector to display different poses from diverse scenes/moods. The packaging is 5 panel (window box with front opening flap), which makes it both attractive to display and easy to remove and replace in the box without destroying the packaging.
Not just any action figure can qualify as an Ultimate! There are several factors that are put into the design direction, including:
-
- Exceptional detailing & realistic sculpting
- Highly articulated – 20+ points of articulation minimum
- “Photoreal” – DIJ face printing for the ultimate in realism
- Figures include multiple accessories
- Hand & digitally sculpted
- Premium window box packaging
Pre-Order D&D 7″ Scale Action Figure: Ultimate Warduke – $34.99
And all the same comes to Warduke. Both figures have much more “realistic” details. Everything from the texture of the materials on their clothes, be they metal, leather, or fur. And the weapons.
All of these are available for pre-order now from WizKids.
Happy Adventuring
