Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Diana The Acrobat

“You take two, I’ll take eighteen.”

Quite possibly the bravest member of our group of friends in the Realm, Diana the Acrobat is always ready for a fight and willing to do anything to protect herself and her friends from danger. She wields her magic staff with fierce determination and is often called upon to lead missions in the group.

Hasbro’s Cartoon Classics figure of Diana is one of the best in the line as far as looks are concerned. She’s one of the closest to actually looking like her character from the cartoon. Diana is one of three figures in the line that I purchased in a store. This meant that I was able to pick up the least damaged box I could find with her in it. Luckily for me, there was zero damage to the box I chose.

Diana comes with a D20 die and two versions of her staff. One staff is a standard version of the fully extended staff. The second version features motion blurs to give the appearance of Diana “spinning” the staff. The motion staff is cool but I actually prefer the standard version for posing.

As I said earlier, Diana looks very much like her cartoon counterpart. The only real gripe that I have is that her hair appears shorter on the figure than I remember from the cartoon. That’s a minor gripe, however, as overall this is a really nice looking figure. Diana’s costume gives her the most articulation of any figure in the line, but she suffers from the same ridiculous joint stiffness that I’ve experienced with every figure. This makes many of her poses awkward looking and her thin legs and ankles mean that I’ll need a peg stand to keep her from falling over while on display.

Diana was an excellent character in the classic D&D cartoon series. I really like this figure for the most part. Sure, there are a few minor paint app mishaps and I’m really disappointed with the fact that she can’t stand on her own very well, but the figure is very good when compared to others in this line.

I have two figures left in this series to review, and I believe that I’ll have both of those reviews posted this weekend. After that, I’ll be reviewing a few other figures from other lines (including one BST AXN figure that I’ve been hunting for for quite some time). I’ll also take a look at some old movies, a few newer ones, and might toss in some music reviews as well. Until then, thank you for checking out my post. See you very soon!
