Kinda feels like this line is dead, much to my chagrin.
They really could put out Mercion, Kelek and Ringlerum, then rerelease them in classic colours like the other figures. Heck, Mercion has a fully different hair colour now. I really just want more, from Neca and Super7.
Did anyone do an interview with the Neca folks to see why there's nothing new on this line?
Yeah, Pixel Dan interviewed Blaine, and similar to Gargoyles, there are new figures in development but they are not in a ready state to be able to show off yet so will come later, possibly at NYCC. This line is not dead and will continue.
Yep, Robo and Veebs reported the same thing on their podcast last night. Great news.

I just finished watching Pixel Dan's walk through of the non TMNT stuff with Blaine, and he said the licensor wanted to focus on the 50th anniversary of D&D, which led to them doing toy deco repaints. He said they'd LOVE to do more, so keep buying the figures so the numbers show there's interest in more product.
Talk is cheap, besides many retailers still haven’t gotten Elkhorn in yet, the distro has been woeful.
@revox Like who? It's in stock on Bestbuy and has been for a while. Distribution has been fine.
International distribution does suck for these. For Neca in general, but specifically the D&D line is one I have only seen once in retail.
See for me... all of that gets mixed in to my MOTU Classics wall. All Fantasy and many sci fi tropes work in that fictional universe so it all gets mixed in as various factions without needing to create isolated or separate displays.
I do this as well. I have Warduke in my MOTU display. I figure Skeletor summoned him to Eternia to fight the Masters. Any other NECA D&D figures I get will definitely be going in this display as well.
I mix my DnD figures (Neca, Super7 and Hasbro) with Mythic Legions and Plunderlings mostly. I want as much fantasy on my shelf as possible.
Yeah I too have a 'medieval fantasy' shelf which I add any and all figures I get that look roughly medieval-ish, regardless of the size. So my Warduke goes with my mythic legions, to which I also add any mcfarlane fantasy characters, like Witcher characters, DST Lotr, Neca God of War, basically any knight or warrior they release.
I keep my NECA DnD with my NECA Gargoyles.
Took some pictures with Grimsword this weekend, had him fight a Displacer Beast in my Mimi's garden. I usually just take Warduke out for shots, but these other guys are so great too.
