WizKids has a surprise in its D&D Icons of the Realm: 50th Anniversary set.
A Dungeons & Dragons mystery has been solved after nearly 50 years. The face of the" Red Box Warrior " that appears on Larry Elmore 's classic art on the cover of the 1977"Red Box" for Dungeons & Dragons will be revealed for the first time in WizKids's D&D Icons of the Realms: 50th Anniversary set later this year.
As you can see in the renders above, WizKids' Red Box Warrior matches the pose of the original artwork, right down to the raised sword and lunging pose. WizKids also points out that their depiction of the Red Box Warrior is"purposefully and clearly" presented as a woman, providing a bit of a surprise for some wondering about details about this iconic warrior from D&D's past.
The Red Box was first released in 1983 and featured a 64 page Player's Handbook, a 48-page Dungeon Master's manual, and dice for the game. For many older Dungeons & Dragons fans, the Red Box was the first introduction they had to the game, and thus Elmore's art served as the first impression as to what players could expect from a D&D adventure.
WizKids is also selling the red dragon from the Larry Elmore artwork as a separate miniature, so players can hypothetically recreate the Red Box cover on just about any shelf at their home. The D&D Icons of the Realms: 50th Anniversary set is available for pre-order on WizKids' website. The set will be released in July 2024.
