As per usual with NECA, these look pretty great, although how they'll turn out once in-hand is another matter... Not sure why The first two are Warduke and...Grimsword? Rather than Warduke and Strong heart, though.

Oh puh-leeze. McFarlane has already released way more female figures in his DC Universe line than LJN ever produced for the original AD&D range, which only ever included Mercion and Deeth amongst the actual, articulated action figures. Neither Charmay, nor Helayne, nor Raven, nor Silverain, nor Aurella nor Molliver, nor Merrygold nor Filaree would ever be produced as action figures by LJN, despite featuring in the tie-in media and gaming modules released at the time (Skylla did see release as an unarticulated lump of PVC).

I wish McFarlane was making these. Then I wouldn't have to worry about destroying them just by removing them from the package...

More recent artwork may have buffed him up, but classic 80s Warduke wasn't anywhere near so ripped as to demand a Masters of the Universe-style physique:

Not sure why they made him shorter than Grimsword, though....
