1. Teeth of Dahlver-Nar: Bite-Sized Artifact

Teeth. A bag of teeth. Obviously, WizKids is trying its best to market new products to Danhausen, but this company doesn't shy away from bizarre collectibles. In 2021, they released the Hand and Eye of Vecna in a glass jar, which was surprisingly cool. This bag contains 20 teeth of various monsters from the D&D universe, which is an artifact in the game. From Beholders to blue dragons, it is one of the weirdest--and somehow most interesting--collectibles WizKids has released this year. It also comes with one of the lightest d20s we've ever handled. I don't recommend that d20, though. It just feels weird.

Available on Amazon: $78

2. Icons of the Realms: Beholder Collector's Box

WizKids puts out a staggering amount of miniatures each year; however, the Beholder Collector's Box is a bit different from your standard fare. You're getting three Beholder minis, but each one has a paint scheme created by a different notable painter: Kathryn Chodor, Steven Smith, and Ian Phillips. Whether you're a mini painter or someone who just marvels at the different paint schemes you can use on the same mini, this is a very cool gift to use on the battlefield or to display on a shelf.

3. Daern's Instant Fortress: Table-Sized Replica

Are you a DM who wants to bring elements from the game onto the playing field? Are you a player who wants to annoy your DM? Then Daern's Instant Fortress is probably for you. Scaled the same as the rest of WizKids' D&D miniatures--traditionally 25mm--you can bring the famed magic item to a game near you. The rooftop trapdoor is functional, and if you want to bug your DM, you can use the Instant Fortress to roll your dice. Just slap this 7x7x12 inch bad boy down on the table and watch your DM roll their eyes and say, "Come on… seriously?" Do it.

Available on Amazon: $136

4. Spelljammer: Adventures in Space

One of the biggest Dungeons & Dragons releases to date, Spelljammer was very different from traditional sourcebook or campaign releases--because it was a sourcebook, campaign, book of monsters, DM screen, and more. This three book set takes players to literal space--well, the Astral Plane--where they can go on their own adventures created by the DM or one from the adventure Light of Xaryxis. Needless to say--because we've mentioned how big this is numerous times--this may be a book you'll want to get in on because it's a pretty big game-changer for D&D releases.

Available on Amazon: $47

5. Spelljammer minis

With any D&D release, WizKids is going to release plenty of miniatures, and yes, the giant space hamster is included. However, the focus for the new book are the spaceships you'll be flying into battle on the Astral Plane. There are numerous sets to choose from, each offering multiple ships--along with some asteroids. Additionally, there's a fantastic-looking Solar Dragon, which you can see in the image above. Finally, like most WizKids releases, there are boosters where you blindly get various miniatures for your campaign. Yes, the space hamster is one of them. There are various Spelljammer mini sets to choose from, so below you'll find a small sample.

6. Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen Deluxe Edition

The latest D&D adventure book is launching something new and pretty cool. The Deluxe Edition includes a board game. The Warriors of Krynn game is a companion to the story contained within the Shadow of the Dragon Queen book. You can use both of them together or play the board game on its own--which will see you in the middle of a war completing various tasks for the greater good and helping with troop morale. Meanwhile, the adventure book has you traveling to stop the Dragon Queen and her armies as they wage war across the land.

7. Dungeons & Dragons Waffle Maker

The majority of the content in here helps you level up your gaming experience, but what if you want to eat D&D? Yes, that sounds bizarre, and no, you shouldn't eat your Player's Handbook, but you can eat the waffles you make in this waffle maker. Mix up some batter, put it in, and you'll get a delicious waffle modeled after a d20. Well, it might be delicious--it depends on your batter and how long you cook it. A bad waffle is more on you than this machine.

Available at GameStop: $45

8. Dungeons & Dragons Dice and Tray

Every D&D player needs a good set of dice. Yes, you're completely capable of playing the game with the basic $8 set you bought at your local game shop. However, sometimes you want to treat yourself. And sometimes, you want dice a little heavier than what you can typically pick up. This D&D dice and tray set features metallic dice and a felt-lined tray.

Available at GameStop: $30

9. Honor Among Thieves Dicelings

When the first batch of D&D movie products contained some cool figures, and it also contained one of the most-bizarre toys we've seen in quite some time. They are d20s that transform into creatures we'll see in the upcoming March 2023 movie. They are essentially Transformers, but they all turn into a d20. Is that d20 functional? That's the real question. Regardless, this product tie-in is weird, and we kinda love it.
