Yeah, it's a shame that even well-heeled toy enthusiasts are still fairly unaware of that AD&D line.

The first series was superior to the second series, IMO. The second series dropped a bit in quality of sculpt, which may, or may not have been the result of adding poorly thought-out/executed gimmicks (i.e. launching crests of shields and attack motions). Sometimes keeping up with the competition can detract from what you do well and they (LJN) seemed to miscalculate what made the figs appealing. Ejecting projectiles and arm-swinging levers were unnecessary.

My favorites were: Elkhorn, Melf, Warduke, Kelek, the Ogre King, and Mercion. I loved matching them with my Crystar figs. My attention was captivated for hours at a time...so much happiness.
