“You shall see who has the greater power.”
As I continue revisiting my youth, I’ve collected all of the Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon Classics figures. The last figures that I picked up were Venger and Dungeon Master, who come in a two figure set. Even though they are the last figures that I’ve acquired in the line, I’m going to go ahead and review them now since I was excited to get these figures, but disappointed with the actual product.
Every single D&D figure that I have purchased on Amazon has arrived in a damaged box. While this dual set was the least damaged of the bunch, it was the first in which I received a damaged figure. Venger’s foot was snapped off when I opened the package. I’ve read other reviews of figures with broken parts, but this was the first one that I actually received with a damaged figure.
While we are on the subject of Venger, the figure is ridiculously stiff and difficult to pose. In all honesty, if his feet were one solid block like the Dungeon Master figure, I’d have been a lot happier. Venger has articulation similar to all of the other figures in this line, but his head cannot move due to his shoulders and his shoulders can’t move due to his shoulder pads. His legs can move thanks to the slits in the sides of his robe, but they are extremely stiff. I’m going to hot glue the poor guy’s foot back on and let him stand at the back of my display. He also feels extremely cheap despite being the tallest and biggest figure in this series. He clocks in at just over eight inches tall and features a great wingspan.
Dungeon Master is much better than Venger if you strictly want him for display. His head can’t move. His feet are one mold (which I actually like). His shoulders move and his wrists have ball joints. His paint apps are much better than Venger as well. He also has the best look of the two figures.
I do like the included background featuring the roller coaster from the classic film. The figures come with Venger’s wings (which are detachable), an extra set of hands for Venger that have an energy effect, an oversized D20 and a percentile die.
While I’m glad to have the full set of figures in this line, I’m disappointed with Venger. It’s almost as if Hasbro just decided to phone it in on the figure that could have been the best one in the series. I still need to review Hank, Diana, and Bobby and Uni. Hopefully, one of those figures will really wow me.
I have three reviews left in this series. Thanks for reading this one. I hope that you’ve found these reviews to be informative. See you next time!
