Took them long enough to make figures of the cartoon show:-)

I've got an odd obsession with the LJN characters like Warduke, Kelek, Strongheart, etc. In fact, I've been making a loose continuity for them based on the storybooks, colouring books, records and modules where they appear. Sad, I know:-)

That's not sad - that's AWESOME! Let me know whenever you're ready to share. ⚔ (I still have my old LJN Warduke too btw.)

Yeah, I managed to salvage my ljn figures, mostly intact. Ive collected/copied the 4 modules, 2 storybooks, 4 records, and 3 of the 5 coloring books featuring the ljn characters. But the last 2 coloring books shall always elude me.

You missing the 1979 AD&D Coloring Album? I've been keeping an eye out for that one, but can't seem to find a copy that hasn't been colored (scribbled!) in.

I've seen the 1979 one (it predates the LJN characters). I've never managed to get "Rescue of Ringlerun" (I tried to get an online copy but they don't like payments from outside the US). And the "holy grail" of colouring books, the "Magical colouring book (giant size)", which has Kelek, Strongheart, Charmay and Warduke on the cover. I've never heard of anyone who has ever seen a copy. I'm starting to doubt its existence.

I'm up for it, but solo questing has paid no dividends for me so far. Id settle for an online copy of either.

Rescue of Ringlerun is available on retro reprints, but they only take US payments so I can't even get an on line copy. But retro reprints doesnt even have a scan of the Magical colouring book. I think I had some giant size Marvel colouring books as a kid and they were huge, like A2 size (about 400 x 600 cm), so its no surprise no one would still have those giants.

At this stage, just confirming its existance is a quest. Its basically a tarresque.
