Back when I got the toys when I was about 5 in 1990 (some shops here in Ireland still had older stock stuff on sale like in the shop I got all my Visionaries is the same one I got the vast majority of MOTU, Galaxy Rangers and Defenders of the Earth figures) I had only ever seen two or three episodes of the cartoon. I didn’t see more episodes until 93 and 95 and 96 when I got some VHS videos then the DVD in 2004.

i bought the dvd a few years back along with dungeons an dragons . defenders of the earth that rings a bell was that the purple guy with a black mask ?

Dungeons and Dragons was a good show. Yes that’s The Phantom. The DVD set of DOTE is well worth getting.

I wish it had lasted longer. I think if it had been better tied in to the toyline with figures of Hank, Eric, Sheila, Diane, Bobby, Presto, Dungeon Master, Uni and Venger it would have done a lot better.

Well there technically was a toyline by LJN called Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, but they didn’t make any of the main characters…however some toy characters did appear in the show like Warduke, Strongheart and Kelek etc.

can’t say i’ve heard of any of them to be honest .

They only appeared in one episode each. However the toyline did also have the 5x headed dragon Tiamat who appeared in multiple episodes.

And there were also some figurines based on the cartoon.

I’ve got Bobby - he used to be my sister’s - and I’m sure she had some of the other figures life Diana and Presto, but I don’t know where they are.
