They never got home - Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Characters

Image
Those of a certain generation will remember a 1980s cartoon called 'Dungeons & Dragons', that was inspired by the famous role-playing game. The cartoon focuses on a group of friends aged between 8 and 15 who are transported to the realm of Dungeons & Dragons by taking a ride on a magical amusement park roller coaster. Unfortunately, the cartoon was cancelled before resolving whether they got home again. These miniatures from Antediluvian Miniatures make the assumption that they never got home and grew up and survived in the Dungeons & Dragons realm. Hank & Eric Shelia & Presto Bobby & Diana The 'kids' versions of these figures can be seen here .

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Starfleet Crew

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) is set on a space station located near the planet Bajor and the strategically vital Bajoran wormhole, which provides access to the distant Gamma Quadrant. The series begins shortly after the Cardassian occupation of Bajor ends, with Commander Benjamin Sisko assigned to take command of Deep Space Nine, the former Cardassian mining station. Throughout the series, DS9 becomes a hub of activity as it deals with threats from the Dominion, a powerful empire from the Gamma Quadrant, eventually leading to all out war between the Alpha Quadrant and the Dominion. Notable Starfleet crew members include Dr. Julian Bashir, the station’s chief medical officer; Jadzia Dax, a Trill science officer and Miles O'Brien, the Chief Engineer. Similar story to Voyager, there have never been any official or unofficial miniatures created based on the crew of DS9. Having looked at commissioning my own miniatures and been put off by the cost, I looked at adapting alternatives.

Star Trek: Voyager follows the adventures of the starship "USS Voyager" and its crew as they become stranded in the Delta Quadrant, 70,000 light-years from Earth, while pursuing a renegade Maquis ship.

To prevent a powerful weapon from falling into the wrong hands, Janeway destroys the array that could return them home, stranding her crew and the Maquis together. The show focuses on their journey back to the Alpha Quadrant, which is estimated to take 75 years. The crew, composed of both Starfleet officers and Maquis rebels, must work together to survive the unknown dangers of the Delta Quadrant. They encounter new species, face various challenges, and adapt to life far from Federation space. Notable crew members include Chakotay, the Maquis leader and Voyager's first officer; Tuvok, the Vulcan security off
