As many of you know, I'm a fan of the classic Dragonriders of the Styx toy line. I often incorporated them into my fantasy adventures alongside my beloved LJN Dungeons & Dragons figures. So it was a nice surprise when I found what I originally thought was a wingless Demon figure from the DotS line...
I thought, Well, that's nice. Now I have an extra Demon figure. What a nice chap that Planet Bierwagen is. Oh, but how wrong I was! Looking at the figure again the next day, I notice that this wasn't the Demon at all! This was a figure that I never had! Planet Bierwagen is far beyond being just a nice chap!
This is the Demon...
And next to him, is Guliz, the Ogre. It finally hit me that what I had looked like the hybrid bastard-child of these two evil creatures!
With a little digging, I discovered that this mix of Demon and Ogre is none other than Fantar! A truly horrible creature that road upon the back of flame-footed, human-faced, pitch-black horse in a rare Dragonriders of the Styx deluxe set.
And thus my Dragonriders horde grows! So, my deepest gratitude to Planet Bierwagen for hooking me up with a killer addition to my collection, from a line of toys I have always loved. :)
