’80s cartoon fans rejoice! Hasbro are bringing the heroes and villains of the classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, which originally aired back in 1983, to the world of toys with a series of 6-inch scale action figures, available for pre-order now at Target.

The first four figures are set for release in January 2023, and in an admittedly rather cool move, each figure comes packaged with an exclusive D&D die!

Feast your eyes below:

While the figures look fairly basic, the level of authenticity to the cult classic cartoon cannot be denied, so as a forty something who absolutely loved the show back in the day, I’m hoping these new releases do really well, if only to ensure a “wave two” release including Eric, Presto, Sheila and… dare I say it… maybe even a Tiamat??

One response to “Hasbro to release Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics Toy Series in January 2023”

  1. Other news stories on 9/23 said that they were being released on 9/23, prompting me to go directly to my local Target, only to discover… they weren’t. I’m glad Ceej was kind enough to tell us the real release date! I’ve already pre-ordered mine, and am also hoping for Wave 2!
