@Flipmode - Hey the more the merrier, then I can charge rent and I won't have to work! LMAO! I can sit home and play with my toys all day.
@John- The Main characters from the show (Venger, DM, Diana, Hank, Eric, Presto, Sheila, Bobby and Uni) are non articulated 2 inch PVC figures producedd some time in the 90's by a company called Comics of Spain. They do a ton of licensed PVCs in Europe. The Hank, Sheila, Presto and Uni are the more common pieces as they were released in the US with a board game so these are easier to track down. There is a second full set of all of the characters except for Dungeon Master and Venger that are not in "dynamic" action poses and have proven WAY harder to find. I've only ever seen a picture of the Eric figure from the second set and his armor is yellow like the show unlike the one I have which is gold. I owned the other Hank, Presto and Dian but sold the Presto and Hank a few years ago. I kept the Diana, I have a thing for female figures (not a weird thing, just a thing). I believe a company in Portugal also release the same figures but with sloppier paint jobs. I had a Dungeon Master from that set but his paint job was odd (they painted his tounge and the inside of his mouth)and very sloppy so I sold him with Hank and Presto however this version of DM was the same exact mold as the Comics of Spain version. The Tiamat is missing a wing, I bought her like that and she is from the old LJN D&D toy line from the late 80's. She too has proven pretty hard to find since I bought her (there is one on ebay right now in a set with a castle and a bunch of figures also from the 80's toyline for $1500 Buy it Now, there are a couple in the completed listings one for $750 MIB but it didn't sell and one loose that sold for $66.) The Kelek and Warduke figures are from the same toy line and are VERY easy to find as they were from the first series of the line which was pretty well mass produced. I BELIEVE the Bolly Wogs(SP?) are from the same line but I'm not 100% sure. They too are pretty easy to find and rather inexpensive. I have saved the search "Dungeons Dragons Cartoon" on ebay so they email me whenever something that fits that criteria is listed. I'll post some more pics for you soon.

Oh boy thankyou very much my friend really i love your collection. My dream will be new figures of this series and new movie masters figures of the Real ghostbusters.But now the line is dying ... maybe someday. And some M.A.S.K. will be great to.This message has been edited. Last edited by: John Silver,

Have you ever tried to make a custom figure Freddie?
I have made several. I am hopeless when it comes to scuplting so it has to be a repaint or something like a head swap or cutting limbs and reconnecting them. I am dying to make several DC females (like Halo from the Outsiders or some female Legionnaires) but I want to wait to see what Mattel & or DC Direct has in store. I'll post some pics of some of my customs.
This is a DC Direct/Mattel mash up of Lilith from The New Teen Titans. DC Universe Classics Zatanna hair/DC Direct Wonder Girl Donna Troy Head/Darla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer body and DC Universe Donna Troy legs. IMO she's one of my better pieces.
Glow balls for Terra. This is a perfect sculpt and she was sorely missing these!
Hair and eyes painted for Starfire along with firebolts from an Iron Man 2 figure.
I painted several animals green to include mulitple Changeling's around my DC shelves.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Freddie:,

I've just started out making a couple myself based on Ghostbuster characters. Let me know if you'd like a hand with any sculpts and I'll see what I can do!

You can work on them when you move in! LOL. All kidding aside, I'm working on a Legion Insect Queen Lana Lang right now and she is looking pretty sad. I could and would LOVE help with that.
