Toasted BrainsEveryone knows about Dungeons and Dragons, but how many people are familiar with the cartoon? It ran for just 27 episodes, but remains a cult classic to this day, and it's especially popular in Brazil for some reason. Hasbro put out a small assortment of figures back in 2023 to celebrate the show's 40th anniversary, and aside from a few issues, they were pretty good. I already reviewed the first wave long ago, but now that I've finally completed the line, I'll be looking at wave two, consisting of Presto, Eric, and Sheila, as well as the Venger/Dungeon Master two-pack.
First up is Presto, the team's magician, who has a bit of a wizard-like appearance. He's dressed in a green robe with a blue collar and pants, as well as a belt with a bag attached to it. It's a simple outfit, but his...[

Toasted BrainsWhile Dungeons and Dragons is a well-known role-playing game, not everyone who's heard of it knows there was a cartoon in the early 80s. Despite its short run, it's still fondly remembered by those who've seen it, and 40 years later, it's finally gotten action figures thanks to Hasbro. To be honest, I had no interest in the franchise beforehand, but when my local Ollie's got the first wave of figures for $10 apiece, I couldn't resist.
The cardbacks for these figures are interesting, as they don't use any plastic, a current Hasbro tradition. The contents are kept inside a closed-window box made part of the card, and the artwork on both the backing and side is great, and the spine artwork lines up with one another, so getting them all will make for a good display for you in-box collectors...[
