Odious Ogre ! What an awe inspiring name !! LJN produced a line of PVC non poseable figures for TSR and in 1982, they produced the Odious Ogre complete with a spellbook treasure. This orange skinned, green haired monster was one of my favorites back in the day. Of course, any monster with treasure was in demand !
The PVC AD&D figures required a bit of imagination. Stuck in a pose, you really have to integrate movement into play instead of articulate it. These PVC figures are a bit rough around the edges as far as detail goes. Honestly, they look hand sculpted, but their play value is certainly is not diminished at all by it. Heck, being made from a big chunk of plastic , they are pretty durable !
The PVC figures pale in comparison to the articulated line but add so much play value to them. A horde of rubber monsters for the adventurers to beat up on, what more could you want ! These figures were also a gateway toy for the WWF Superstars Non Poseable Wrestlers, coincidentally made by LJN !
