Roll for Nostalgia: Sirius Dice Launches Metal ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Minis Line

Tabletop adventurers, sharpen your paintbrushes and clear some shelf space! Sirius Dice, a company well-known for its premium gaming accessories, is set to transport us back to the roots of tabletop role-playing with the announcement of a new line of collectible metal ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ miniatures!

This isn’t just another set of figures; it’s a celebration of D&D’s legendary heritage, starting with a powerful tribute to one of the game’s most iconic pieces of art.

The Debut: A Return to the 1977 ‘Holmes’ Boxed Set

The new Sirius Metal Miniatures line kicks off its ambitious journey in February 2026 with a set inspired by the legendary D&D 1977 ‘Holmes’ Basic Boxed Set cover art.

• Iconic Artwork, Realized in Metal: The initial release captures the thrilling scene from the cover art by David C. Sutherland III.
• What’s in the Box? The set features three high-definition, zinc-alloy metal miniatures:
  • A massive Red Dragon (clocking in at 75mm).
  • The intrepid Wizard.
  • The stalwart Fighter.
• For the Collector and the Gamer: These premium figures are designed to appeal to both those who want a stunning piece of D&D history for their display shelf and those who want a solid, weighty miniature for their next session.

Why Metal? The Vintage Vibe is Back

While plastic miniatures have dominated the market for decades, this move to metal is a deliberate nod to the game’s early days. Many of the first D&D miniatures produced by companies like Ral Partha and Citadel were cast in white metal.

This new line from Sirius embraces that classic feel, offering:

• A Premium Feel: Metal miniatures possess a satisfying weight and density that plastic simply can’t match.
• High Detail: The casting process allows for the faithful recreation of classic artwork with sharp, clear details, perfect for painting enthusiasts.
• Collectible Value: As the first in an ongoing series, these metal minis are positioned as true collectible items, celebrating milestones in D&D’s long history.

A Look Ahead: What Else Can Fans Expect?

The 1977 ‘Holmes’ set is just the beginning. Sirius has confirmed that the metal miniatures line will be an ongoing series that continues to celebrate the most nostalgic and iconic moments in Dungeons & Dragons history.

Fans can look forward to:

• Surprise Drops: Expect new releases inspired by classic scenes and unforgettable artwork.
• Iconic Covers: Future sets are likely to bring more legendary D&D book and module covers to life in metal.

This is a fantastic opportunity for old-school gamers to relive the golden age of TTRPGs and for newer fans to appreciate the game’s rich, artistic history in a premium format. Keep an eye on the official Sirius and D&D channels for more announcements!
