Warduke
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Evil Fighter
About This Vintage Toy
In the world of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Warduke is a mighty human warrior and a Hierarch of the Horned Society. Warduke often finds work as a bounty hunter or assassin and is known around the realm to be one of the cruelest and heartless humans, with a short-tempered personality not to be tested. Warduke is a muscular human, armed with a bane sword and skull-motif shield. Partially protected by a half-suit of blue chainmail and combat helmet with aesthetic bat-winged ridges, Warduke fear is very little when confronted in battle.
The evil warrior Warduke often allies with the villainous sorcerer Kelek, another popular character in the Advanced D&D LJN toy line. Warduke appeared in only one episode of the popular Saturday morning Dungeons & Dragons animated TV series from 1983 through 1985.
Many LJN Advanced Dungeons & Dragons action figures featured a three and three-quarter-inch format similar to other competitors’ popular toy lines of the 80s. However, a small number of produced action figures in this toyline were disproportionate in standard consistent action figure size to represent the accuracy of the DND role-playing game. The LJN Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Warduke action figure offered 5 points of articulation with the hips, shoulders, and neck. The Warduke action figure featured a three and three-quarter-inch size format.
