Dungeons and Dragons Warduke vs. Dragonriders of the Styx Black Knight What would Happen ??

Warduke vs. The Black Knight. What would be the outcome! How would these two figures compare in a Helmeted Head to Helmeted Head duel???


Lets find out......


Warduke draws first, using his height advantage to slice at his smaller opponent before he can even raise his sword!!!


But the Black Knight, using a lightning quick stroke, blasts his opponent and knocks him off his feet!!


Please Hammer Don't Hurt em!! Warduke kisses the ring of his new master....


The Black Knight takes Warduke into his service! He can always use a strong warrior to carry his treasure !!!!

So there you have it! The Black Knight is victorious over Warduke and the question is laid to rest.....Cmon, you read it on the internet! It has to be true!!!!!   :)

Dragonriders of the STYX Black Knight stands up to any Dungeons and Dragons figure !!!

This figure was one of my all time favorites as a kid. I had a bunch of the Dragonriders of the Styx figures, but the Black Knight was my favorite! DFC (Dimensions for Children) produced some excellent figures for this line in 1983, and I finally have the one that I've been looking for. Obviously produced to catch the D&D craze, but they do stand well against their LJN counterparts. In my opinion, the Black Knight could have been one of them. I used him alot as the silent sentinel of Lord Drex (Drex was always the leader of the villains).









The card art and backboard detail is awesome! I always marvel at the detail put into the packaging back then and it was done with such inferior technology! The only bad memory I have of this line is that the Wizard exploded (completely fell apart) within a few days of purchase, and I was excited to get him cause I didn't have Kelek or Ringlerun yet, making him the first Wizard. Oh, the calamities of childhood!!
