I recently became aware of a request to add the Dungeons & Dragons toyline(s) to the site.
So, to proceed, I need to know how it should be broken down.
To start. for the toylines/products, we'd have a "Dungeons & Dragons" umbrella category.
From the research I've done, I've found the following, which would appear below the "Dungeons & Dragons" umbrella category:
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (LJN 1983-84)
Basic Series Action Figures
Battle-Matic Series Action Figures
Bendable Monster Action Figures
Collectibles (single packs and giftset)
Monsters
Mounts
Mounts with Rider
Playset
Human/Monster Adventure Figures
Wind-Ups
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics
Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
Dicelings
Forgotten Realms
Golden Archive
Dungeons & Dragons (sort of a generic catch-all subcategory)
Jada Toys
Kidrobot
NECA (Basic and Ultimate Series)
Funko (create subcategory under D&D and cross-list with existing Funko records)
Kre-O (create subcategory under D&D and cross-list with existing Kre-O records)
Super7 (create subcategory under D&D and cross-list with existing ReAction records)
My Little Pony Crossover
This is all I have been able to find so far, so if I missed anything, you'll have to forgive me as I know nothing about this property. There's likely some Merchandise that's associated with the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons line as practically 80s property had a bunch of side stuff associated with it (role-play items, flashlights, etc.).
I would also hope that those that are more knowledgeable than I would make sure that once we create these product records, that we're eventually able to fill in the contents of these records so that we're not sitting on a bunch of empties.
The mold categories that would need to be created would be:
Dungeons & Dragons
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (LJN 1983-84)
Basic Series Action Figures
Battle-Matic Series Action Figures
Bendable Monster Action Figures
Collectibles (single packs and giftset)
Monsters
Mounts
Mounts with Rider
Playset
Human/Monster Adventure Figures
Wind-Ups
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics
Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
Dicelings
Forgotten Realms
Golden Archive
Jada Toys
Kidrobot
Neca
MLP Crossover?
Super7 and Funko molds are already covered.
So, what do you guys think? Is Dungeons & Dragons a good fit for us to track in the database?
Voice your opinions here.
Considering there are now five figures that Hasbro has released of characters from the 1980's cartoon, I would definitely think they'd be worthy of adding.
Currently there's the two-pack of Venger & Dungeon Master, Hank, Diana, and Bobby & Uni. I can only hope that they will follow through with the remaining core members, Eric, Sheila and Presto. Especially since the new movie included them as easter eggs :)
Let's move the D&D discussion from the other thread here.
I added categories if anyone wants to start adding products.
