Sorry if there is already a Kre-O D&D thread but I didn't see it, so I figured as they were now at retail this would be a good time to start one.

The fact that I picked up a couple of army builder/blind bag figures helps, too (the Orc Axeman and Orc Beastmaser). I'll be Reviewing them on That Figures next week but for now, as they're my first Kre-Os, I'm actually pretty impressed.

And each has a $3 off a $15 or more Kre-O purchase at TRU, which effectively means they paid for themselves.

I posted this pic of the d&d blind bag codes to the kreo gi joe thread, but since you have this one started for d&d specific, I thought it might be a good idea to repost it here.

Here's the blind bag codes

Awesome, I saw that earlier (I did the same too and watched a video to get the codes for the figures I saw) so it's definitely a useful pic!

I got a handful of GI Joe and TF Kreo-S. These look pretty good, too. Especially the orcs. I grew up playing D&D and have most of the LJN action figures. Will probably pick some of these up to help ransack my Lego castle.

They are cool! Just need some creatures like Dragons. Hopefully soon.

Yeah, they work well with the LEGO Castle stuff (there are a lot of similarities in the coloring of the bricks/figures) and the Orcs are very cool. I've just got through writing a Review for tomorrow's updates, which I'll link to when it's live.

I saw some photos from the original reveal and it looks like there are a few more ''types'' coming soon (including some kind of winged humanoid, but I can't make it out too well.) I'd have thought they'd be able to work something in from a lot of the Transformers figures (as some of them have some pretty neat pieces) but what we've got so far is a little tame. Hopefully they'll expand the line.

I also wish they were more ''dungeon quest'' than ''fantasy battle.'' It would be great to see some kind of modular dungeon sets that would allow you to create your own scenarios and stuff.

Yeah, it looks like the next collection is gong to have a bit more character variety. Another Drow, a Succubus (I think), and a transparent (I'm assuming undead) knight. I'm curious as to what their next offerings for actual sets will be.

Yeah, I was squinting at the Toy Fair images and trying to work out what was what there. The transparent figure looked very cool. I hope we get a few more undead/monster figures. I'd love a Mindflayer myself!

I wonder if we'll ever get any giant-sized figures? Maybe they could repurpose some of those Transformers Not Hero Factory figures and make them into giant golems or something...

Continuing a discussion from another thread, what would you like to see in the upcoming D&D range?

Personally I'd love to see a few more monsters. It's cool having plenty of Orc variants (and the other smattering of non-humans in the Army Builder packs) but I really want some more D&D-centric creatures. Mindflayers spring to mind (ha!) as being a pretty easy build (a new head, possibly hands) but there are also some more exotic creatures I'd love to see like Gelatinous Cubes (which would be very easy - just a bunch of transparent bricks!), dwarves (as pointed out elsewhere, Kre-O has ''half-sized'' legs in the Star Trek figure line) and halflings (again, use those legs) plus some more D&D-ish class-themed figures like Rogues, Rangers and so on.

And for larger sets, getting some oversize creatures like dragons and giants would be pretty awesome. Let's get some dungeon sets too, with traps and treasure and all that other questy stuff!

Any other suggestions?
