Quest for the Dungeonmaster figures

Design : M+B, TSR, 1986

Comment : You too can play with your favorite D&D TV cartoon characters : Presto the Magic-User, Sheila the Thief, Hank the Ranger and Uni the Licorne ! Those 2 inches plastic figures are very well sculpted with bright colors. I don't know if the other characters have be done (Eric the Cavalier, Bobby the Barbarian and Diana the Acrobat) and with what game they could have been shipped.

Quest for the Dungeonmaster Cartoons

Comment : 3 seasons of Saturday morning cartoons (1983 to 1985) with monsters directly from the Monster Manual and some well written plots.

See the intro (4 Mo mpeg) and hear the end theme (wav) !

AD&D unlicensed monster figures

Design : ???

Comment : A few years ago, I found those two small hard-plastic figures in a chinese bazaar : a Bulette and a Rust Monster. The Rust Monster is about 2 inches long, so a little bit oversized for use along 25mm figures.

AD&D Instant Rub-Down Picture Transfers

Design : ???, TSR

Comment : There was a time where TSR licensed AD&D for use on various school products (binder, text book ...). I think those transfers were part of this initiative.
