"Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Candy Figures" from 1983?

Those are awesome :-)!!!!!  Which leads me to a thought ...was there *anything* in the early 80s that didn't use the D&D license ;-)!?

and here I thought you were going to reply that you had a character back in the day named "The Catoblepas-Patch Kid" or a female halfling thief named "Strawberry Shortsword"

Strawberry Shortsword ...this is genius :-).  A female ginger halfling fighter whom was gifted a magical short sword of power by a small humanoid named, Dungeon Master.  Her arch nemesis is the Purple Pieman, who will not rest until all the weapons of power are his!

This would make a great cartoon :-).  ....Oh wait....the TSR licensing department of the early 80s has struck again :-)!

You know of course that somebody on Dragonsfoot will now fully stat this character out, right?

....Followed by a 2000 post thread about whether or not she could defeat Drizzt.


The owls are not what they seem...

If these are used in play, do the PCs get to eat what they kill?
