First thought: welcome to the world of cross marketing. 2nd thought: That is a Joey Chestnut amount of hot dogs to eat to get the entire collection. I would have totally been down to try this!

LMAO, Jim! That's a great hot dog contest reference as well! 🌭🌭🌭

I collected Panini baseball stickers. We didn't get jack for the cartoon here in the U.S. A few of the villains got action figures and stats in books, a couple NPC's did as well, but we didn't see a lot for the cartoon until the 2000's initial resurgence of it, with the Animated Series Handbook. It was depressing as a young kid that loved the cartoon that there wasn't much for it.

Oh wait! I forgot about the board game I didn't see until I was in my teens long after the cartoon ended.

Me too! I saw it in some of the old TSR catalogs, but it didn't really register until I was an adult.

I was really surprised, too, at how many foreign D&D cartoon products there were that didn't exist in the US. The UK had the annuals, and Spain had all sorts of figurines in addition to their meat cards!
