I have been using Daphne for over 10 years. I have not plugged my pi into my A1Up cab yet. (And I see that i accidentally included Ludwig von Koopa, and I haven’t posted that one yet, but there he is.I have Daphne running off a raspberry pi that uses an iPac as its encoder. Mordoc doesn’t exactly fit in well with some of my other video game figures, but he definitely stands out. I suppose now that I have Daphne she can hang out with my other video game princesses. Daphne may by nice to look at, but Mordoc has the most personality. Mordoc in my opinion is the most interesting out of the three. These Dragon’s Lair 3-D figures are pretty good. Mordoc’s range of motion is a bit better than Daphne’sīall jointed (though a bit loose), ball joint at the shoulders (loose), bicep swivel, swivel at the wrists, rotation at the hips (though these heavy plastic robes make the a moot point), and swivel at the ankles.Īnd Mordoc can stand okay without the use of a stand, but a little little wobbly, however he stands better if you position the staff for support. He holds it well, however I’m concerned about the long term life of tha staff it’s made from a very hard plastic, and if I’m not careful it’s liable to break over time if I’m not careful. Mordoc only comes with one accessory, and that’s his jeweled staff. There’s a lot of ugly to have to take in with this figure. Mordoc is hunched over old warlock with green skin, warts all over his face and hands with spindly fingers, a crooked nose shooting out of his face like an evil carrot, long gray strands of hair, and wearing simple peasant clothes and a strange cap. Everything seems to work okay, but much of the plastic feels so rigid and inflexible I doubt the toy could take much abuse.Īs much as I like the…aesthetics of Princess Daphne, Mordoc steals the show here in sheer personality and detail. Swivel at the head (barely), rotation at the shoulders, waist swivel, and rotation at the thighs. Princess Paphne has 6 points of articulation…well let’s say five…because of her massive hair her head doesn’t really swivel very well… I suppose, but that wold be some cheap costume jewelry… I’m not sure of the significance of the gem, but my guess is you could maybe put it on a chain, and I suppose actually wear it. Her only accessory is a plastic gem stone, which she can barely hold in her hand…I mean dangle off of her thumb… In short Princes Daphne is very sexualized, and yet that resting bitch face of hers lets you know not to try anything funny… Even then the pegs are so small she leans back a bit.ĭaphne’s head sculpt has got this wildly long blonde hair which goes all the way down below her butt I really like how the hair has sculpted curls at the very ends, and the sweeping bangs in the front. Her proportions are very exaggerated with a tiny waist, looooong legs, and teeny tiny feet in fact Daphne can’t even stand on her own without the help of a small display stand in the shape of a mound of gold coins. She’s wearing a black, skimpy bathing suit, high heeled sandals, and a cartoonishly curved crown with a blue hair band. Princess Daphne is our scantily clad damsel in distress. The toy has limited articulation, and they are rotation at the shoulders, but it limited by the body proportions, and the wings swivel a little bit, however they just get in the way of each other.Īnd that’s it for articulation, this guy is simply an accessory piece to Daphne. You can tell he’s up to no good, and is probably there to guard the captive princess. The fire drake has a lot of personality he’s got those very cartoony proportions such as the rounded belly, the tiny, under developed wings, and large exaggerated snout, with evil, scheming grin. Just so we’re clear, the package was already opened when I bought it, just that the original owner still had the card back and plastic bubble, so I had no qualms about removing them from it, Starting with the fire drake, it came packaged with Daphne. These figures came out in 2002 around the time that Dragon’s Lair 3D premiered. I remember these figures showing up Sun Coast Video stores and stuff, and I never picked them up back then, but I was feeling nostalgic, and I was able to pick these figures up for a reasonable price.ĭragon’s Lair was originally an animated arcade game made by Cinematronics and utilized hand drawn by Don Bluth back in 1983 by using Laserdisc technology. I do remember the arcade machine in the 90′s where you see Princess Daphne being cursed into becoming an old hag, but that’s all I recall from the games. Truth be known I never played the game, my memory of Dragon’s Lair was centered around the Saturday morning cartoon series. I bought these after watching a youtube video about the Dragon’s Lair, and I totally forgot there even was a brief toyline based on the game. These figures were eBay purchases back in November of 2019.
