I love that Neca is doing all of the original D & D toys. Warduke is awesome, but I hate that he can't place his arms at his side.

Not the same but playing around with him, I got him on a ML horse (one that comes with the headless horseman) and his loincloth piece is not as flexible as desired if you want it to be flexible to sit on a horse.
Oh no, really? I purchased a Mythic Legions Phobus just for him to ride...
I am sure it is doable, or easily customizable with a cut or something, but just a bit of playing with him made it clear that Nightmare was not planned when Warduke was designed.
UNLESS they go full on vintage style mounts and include a saddle with sculpted lower legs and a trap door in the body of the horse for Warduke to slide into. :lol:

Goddamn, I opened Grimsword and he is just the huge, imposing Black Knight of all Black Knights, would not spill his pint. Warduke looks almost normal in comparison..! Love it.

It would be nice if Neca took a short break from Turtle Mania and solicited the next wave with Strongheart and Zarak. I’d love to get something D&D related for every month of the 40 Anniversary of the cartoon.

Kelek and Elkhorn next please followed by
Mercion and Ringlerun to end the year would be fantastic!

All gravy after that

Yeah I'm with you, I'm ready for MORE of these figures. It'll be a while before Warduke leaves my desk and joins the other figures in the display cases. What's the next toy show coming up? ToyFair has been moved to the fall, right?

I also ordered from that Pack Turtle store, and Warduke arrived today. This guy is all types of awesome!
Glad it worked out for you. I received both Warduke and Grimsword from them last week, and they came in great shape. Grimsword unfortunately came with two right fists, but they were supernice about getting an exchange done.

Grimsword finally came in, that dude is scary. Not sure if i'd want him slowly chasing me through a building, or Warduke being fast and acrobatic.

Tbh it depends if the snakes come to life.

My figures arrived yesterday, I'm loving them. A lot of the attention online seems to be going toward Warduke, but I'm all about Grimsword. Love his bulk, the details of the snakes on his armor and weapons... What a chunk of plastic that snake shield is...

I hope Strongheart doesn't take another year to release, I need someone to face off against these two.

For some reason I’m just seeing Grimsword as the Jason of the Dungeons & Dragons Universe. It’s like he’s stalking the dungeons of Castle Crystal Lake!

Just received a notification from BBTS that they expect to receive Warduke "soon" and will start shipping as soon as he hits their warehouse. I don't think I've ever received an email like that before. I wonder if they have been hit with a lot of cancelled orders because he started shipping from other suppliers?

Got Warduke and Grimsword in the mail from WizKids yesterday .... didn't immediately know what it was because it came shipped in a Diamond Distributors box and I didn't remember ordering anything directly from Diamond.

Super happy to have them in hand. Love Warduke. He's well sculpted. He moves reasonably well. I've wanted this figure in a similar format for SO long. In fact I sent over a hundred dollars to a guy who made a small run of custom Warduke using the MOTU Classics body years ago and he stiffed me... so it's been a long wait. And the figure is great. Pretty much everything I wanted him to be.

Grimsword is awesome but man is he a beast! The figure stands almost a full 8 inches tall and towers above alot other figures I plan to display him with. The sculpt is great and it's such a fun look.

I honestly can't wait for more figures from this line.

I just found Warduke & Grimsword at a local FYE store. Walked away with Warduke. I dont do much 7” scale these days, but this guy is an absolute must have!
