Just found the D&D Minifigures at Walmart today. This is without a doubt the most versatile minifigure series. With a few select standard yellow minifig heads and hands you can customize some sweet castle Minifigures. The vampire lord and the Dragonborn paladin in particular can be turned into awesome castle warriors/knights. The torsos, hair pieces, skirts and assorted other pieces from this series can be used for endless customization. Awesome series
@@hectorb3960Totally agree! Particularly good series for RPG and fantasy minis. Looking forward to switching pieces around to come up with new combinations 🤓 I picked up a few from Walmart also, but yet to have the whole set. Hoping to complete it over the weekend!
I really liked your idea of using Chima pieces in D&D minifigures. I had already used a crocodile headpiece as a dragonborn warlock and I think it looks great! 😁
@@assumedflash Thanks so much! Good idea with the crocodile head. I used a Chima crocodile head for a kobold rogue in one of my solo actual play games. With a grey hood on he looks legit!
@@47STREET474747 - You’re totally right! The red & blue dragons, and there were unicorn and squid headed humanoids that could be useful for Dnd. Also some cat and rabbit heads that would be useful for Tabaxi & Harengon.
@@wanderingaming5805 Thank you! Some definitely worked out better than others. Now that I have the official Dnd series I’m still happy with some of my builds, but some could use a little work.
Thank you! I had another build for the mindflayer, but I think this one is better. I was lucky with Strahd as I had had the hair piece from a centaur I think, and the face was from a Monster Hunter vampire.
I got a little obsessed and picked up an Atlantis headpiece too, which makes for a little bit more fierce looking Mindflayer. 🦑 I have been looking for that hair piece to make a homemade friend as a minifigure. 😂 I feel the Monster Hunter line was slept on a bit, some underrated prints there!
@@benjaminmoy2669 Agreed! Monster Hunter has some good options for monsters too. Some great zombies, not to mention other undead. I’m going to do some videos at some point on the best Lego themes for use in Dnd/TTRPGs. Let me know if you have any suggestions or requests!
Is it possible to customize your own versions of the following characters and/or races? Leonin Goliaths Kenku Tabaxi Warforged Drow Elves Vecna Dracon (the Dragon-Centaurs from Spelljammer) Triton Tortle
@@SilverScribe85 Thanks for the question! Short answer - mostly, yes. I have created most of these playable species before (tortle, leonin, kenku, tabaxi, goliath, drow, warforged, triton). Vecna would certainly be possible. The dracon would be difficult due to the four-legged lower body. The more unique a species or character is, however, the more difficult to build with Lego. I think a passable version of Vecna could be made, but it would depend on the pieces you had on hand. I’m planning to do a general video on using Lego minifigs for Dnd games, so I will try to feature some of the species you asked for!
@@Homemade_Heroes Thank you in advance, I'm curious to see what pieces you might use for a Kenku head. I've already seem some people use a Red Skull head from a Marvel figure to craft Vecna
@@rickcornelissen3466 That is awesome! Yeah, drow are difficult as there are very few black coloured heads with suitable eye. Most of them have single coloured or evil looking eyes. Not much to choose from there. Most elf hair is LotR or ‘Elves’ and the Elves hair pieces are quite fanciful - odd colours. Luckily I have built up a wee collection over time, so I don’t often have to buy new elf hair!
Nah, you had it right the first time. The Tiefling-with-Dragon is a sorcerer (also can have pseudodragon familiars), and the Githyanki is a warlock.

We have D&D minifigures at home...
@@saibthar I do now too! I have the set that I made and the official set (which is amazing!). Hoping they make a series 2 in 2025.
I was thinking the same thing
Love the vid!! Just wanted to add that the dwarven beard is I think from the evil dwarf cmf!! ^^
@@fyn5166 ohh! Thanks for pointing that out! 🙏 I definitely have a bunch of pieces that I’m not sure of the origin.

There are also a couple dragons in the Vidiyo line that are perfect for dragonborn considering it’s the same headsculpt.

Really like your Ranger, Bard, and Druid!

Im so greatfull to have all of then
@@Elefante664 Great! It has proven difficult to get the Dragonborn Paladin in some places. I have only found 1 so far.
@@Homemade_Heroes i live in italy maybe the distribution is different in Europe
I made my Mindflayer in much the same way! Really loved your creative solutions for Strahd (near identical match!) and Githyanki Sorcerer. 😁

@@Homemade_Heroes Do you have a video showing how you made Tortle, Leonin, Drow, Kenku and all those examples I listed?
@@SilverScribe85 Not yet. But now that you have asked, I will aim to get one made! 👍

@@SilverScribe85 my go to is a Chima piece. Not AMAZING, but I used it for Kettlesteam when running Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Your Dragonborn is basically running around in the buff, aside from the chest armor 😅
@@colbauer1426 🤣 He isn’t representing paladins very well!
Very cool!
@@PowerTheHouse Thank you!
I made the Baldur's Gate 3 characters from Lego and the Drow is nearly inpossible and elf hair is to expensive

@@Homemade_Heroes I use purple/violet for drow. But they are also uncommon.
@@rickcornelissen3466 Yes true. Why are drow always so difficult? 😂
@@rickcornelissen3466 Do you have a video or images of your BG3 minifigs on social media somewhere? I might try making these too - a great idea!
