BDD02 - Dungeon Monsters Boxed Set

Sculptor : Michael & Alan Perry, Bob Naismith, Jes Goodwin

This boxed set contained 11 figures (Bugbear, 2 Giant Rats, Skeleton, Stirge, Kobold, 2 Fire Beetles, Gnoll, Giant Toad, and Orc) designed to provide a novice DM with a selection of basic low-level D&D monsters. Note that these figures were sculpted with integral metal shields instead of the plastic ones supplied with the later blister pack range.

• 

  Bug Bear. This Bugbear wields a spiked wooden club and a long, notched knife. He wears tattered remnants of scavenged armour.

• 

  Fire Beetle 1. This is the first of a pair of Fire Beetles. This one has his body raised upwards at the rear.

• 

  Fire Beetle 2. This model is pretty similar to the other Fire Beetle, but it's body lies flat to the ground.

• 

  Giant Rat 1. The first of two Giant Rat miniatures in the set, this one looks like it's warily creeping forwards.

• 

  Giant Rat 2. This is the second Giant Rat, sitting back on it's haunches, ready to pounce.

• 

  Gnoll. This Gnoll is armed with a polearm and a spiked shield, and wears battered scale and leather armour.

• 

  Kobold. This is a pretty weedy looking Kobold, not really of the same standard to the packs later produced.

• 

  Orc. This is an Orc, armed with a polearm and a wooden shield.

• 

  Skeleton. This is a very nicely sculpted Skeleton, standing in a menacing pose, armed with a longsword and a battered shield.

• 

  Stirge. This is a Stirge, a hideous blood-sucking bat-like creature.

• 

  Toad. This is a Giant Toad, a nice model originally cast with a solid metal base rather than a slotta-tab.
