WizKids Potato Head Beholder Will Haunt Your Dreams
WizKids somehow got permission from Hasbro to fuse two of its most iconic characters. The Potato Head Beholder miniature is a real $24.99 product that will hit store shelves and DnDmini.com later this year. The figure is three inches tall and sits on a 50mm base, making it actually scaled to the size of a proper beholder for use in a DnD game. But like a Mr. Potato Head toy, it also features detachable parts. Aside from the well-known hat, glasses, and mustache, Potato Head Beholder also comes with various eye rays and a bag of holding so it can really slay.

DnD Dragon Delves Alt Cover Revealed In Full
The next DnD 2024 book is set to be Dragon Delves, an anthology of adventures featuring dragons in dungeons. It seems to be continuing the mindset of the 50th anniversary products by honoring the past while making the game more accessible to new players and DMs. In keeping with that, Wizards of the Coast revealed the two Dragon Delves covers.
We can see, via EN World, that the standard cover uses a font style and primary red coloring that hearkens back to older edition boxes. Meanwhile, the alt cover looks like a rad poster you’d see in someone’s bedroom in the early days of DnD. Dragon Delves is due out July 8.

The four-episode season will air on April 2 and see all the production value and energy Dimension 20 is known for put to good use.
