I've watched this video twice now and the transforming related bits are inappropriate since the share the same parent company.

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Not gonna lie a toy that also functions as an actual d20 is an interesting concept.

[@sliceofpudding]

“function” is a strong word. as was said in the video, they’re very unbalanced. this essentially makes them either not worth using as they skew to a low number or a way to intentionally cheat because they tend to land on higher numbers.

[@BushSage]

​@@sliceofpuddingit would be hard math, but it actually would be really interesting if certain monsters had certain rolls more likely for them to represent their power difference.

If I remember correctly, they already announced that they are going to be working on a Mimic one that can close its mouth, basically making it a d20, a chest, and a Mimic.

[@epicgam2317]

“I made up one of those names. And it wasn’t Melf.” Was it short sword?

[@JettKuso]

Correct!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Tiamat and Bahamut would be amazing to have as Dicelings. Especially since they can be used as miniatures of their Aspects.

[@groundcontrol0597]

Fun fact: Melf is one of the oldest dnd characters in the game's history. Creator of the spell Melf's acid arrow and whose name literally comes from Male Elf.

[@sneazymcsneaze4214]

Fun fact, the LJN toys actually appear on and off in D&D proper. Most recently, (as far as I know) They appear as a pretty major plot point in the 5E adventure "Wild Beyond the witchlight"

[@precascer8221]

This makes me kinda excited to see JettKuso playing D&D or any RPG. I mean, the Bakugan can make neat monsters or stuff, specially with a collection THAT big.

[@niconicokms1424]

I’m thinking maybe the weird weight distribution in the d20 form could be integrated in the core game by making them part of some special effect like a cursed blade that lets you use them instead of a normal dice in exchange of hp or something. Also nat20 wouldn’t count as critical rolls. Kinda like how in Mario party different characters have different chances on their dice

[@Toxicdevil8446]

I like this, if I ever had friends to play DND with I'd use this

[@Dargonhuman]

Continuing the comparison to Bakugan, they could do larger, more complex monsters like Tiamat using a combiner set the same way Bakugan does (or ... did - I haven't paid much attention to Bakugan since my nephews grew out of it and I stopped working at Toys R Us 13 years ago... I have no idea if that's still a thing) and considering they've already got two chromatically themed dragons with at least one more on the way, I don't see why they couldn't design a larger figure that incorporates the existing dragons into a Tiamat combiner. On a different note, if these Dicelings really take off, it would be fun to see the company do a limited run of Stranger Things themed Dicelings, specifically focusing on the Upside Down monsters. Given how integral D&D branding is to the show's characters and plot points, it would be a perfect cross promotion to hype up Season 5. Heck, considering the toys, they already have a perfect built-in tag line, "Stranger Things, Season 5, rolls out [insert date] on Netflix!"

[@xavierwoodard5029]

Or maybe the Tiamat diceling could be a combiner set made up of an entire dice set D20 d12 d10 d8 d6 d4 The smaller die being the heads while the d20 is the main body perhaps

[@Dargonhuman]

@@xavierwoodard5029 That's a very interesting idea; I could see that working.

[@redstoneraptor8101]

If you ever play D&D, you should play a Battle Smith Artificer and have your steel defender companion be a Bakugan that you can throw onto the battlefield to summon.

[@LogogoFromKeron]

I got a Rakor diceling a few months ago. It was a bit confusing for me to fold it back up so I just keep it in the dice form to fidget with. May pick up that blue Beholder from wave 2 if I see it on store shelves.

[@awesomeguy9513]

The beholder while simple i enjoy the most due to its simplicity, also something that could make some good customs from. This displacer looks good and a mimic while probaly having a complex transforma.... conversion to become a chest would be cool heck maybe ditch the chest and have a mimic be the dice itself. also also bakugan melee i might have away to have geogan fit. how they would work is each player has 1 geogan and to use it drop it on a card. if the geogan lands and opens acting as a obstacle and the atributte the geogan has lets say darkus the darkus number on the gate card would get the extra BP from the geogan so if its gate card of 100 darkus but a geogan of 300 BP the total bonus would be 400 for darkus only. once a battle is over the geogan win or lose goes is discarded. theres probably details that need to be worked out but i liked the idea of having away to put obstacles in the game to maybe encourage different roll styles

[@Impulse001]

These are a pretty cool idea and I do hope the line keeps expanding.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

This is the ultimate cross between Dungeons&Dragons, Bakugan, and Dungeon Dice Monsters (from _Yu-Gi-Oh!)_

[@Tajealos]

Honestly the comparison to Bakugan is surface level at best Considering the lack of any magnetisation, spring-loaded auto-transformation, or accompanying game system, these have a lot more in common with those old transforming toys from the 90s - 2000s that turned into rocks that I forget the name of now

[@brotherzael7986]

Rock lords? thats more like transformers imo, actually, theyre part of the transformers line now. The dicelings are an odd like middle ground between a bakugan and transformer

[@Kinopio710]

I’m real glad that you’re branching out Jett 😎 I love bakugan as much as the next fella but your presentation and editing have something about it that I like, keep it up man

[@galaxycamerata]

I feel like the best idea they missed out on was the idea of teasing a functional giant D20 that happened to be in this line on april 1st, and then the day after reveal that it's actually a mimic specifically shaped into a D20 rather than just a d20 that could be converted into the basic treasure chest mimic.

[@ATable4You]

Never would I imagine hearing a high pitched version of through the fire and flames.

[@joecotner3644]

Could be interesting if they made some that convert into other dice shapes besides the D20.

[@LTDRAKE]

These are pretty cool to see since I'm a huge transformers fan, and since both are made by Hasbro it's neat to see other series sort of kind of get the Transformers treatment

[@JettKuso]

Likewise!

[@sophiegoose]

Absolutely love these things! Have gone completionist on the two waves that have come out so far and have yet to be disappointed by them (though the Beholder isn't as fun as the others, in my opinion). Favorites so far are the dragons and the Displacer Beast, looking forward to the Mimic they're doing in Wave 3. 👀 Also, excited to see you branching out a bit and getting some sweet, sweet merch from ol' Hasbro.

[@EvilLobsterKing]

I have the orange beholder, and based on how the 20 has a raised bubble, it makes it almost impossible to roll a 1. The diceling just wont settle on that domed surface if it has anu kind of momentum. But it is still a great little fidger toy. Not to mention being a perfect melting pot of my love of tranafirmers, d&d, and my favourite colour (orange)

[@yichlyichl4204]

Give me a bugbear, bugbears would look super goofy in this style. And a golem, like an iron golem! A perfect fit, you could even sorta use it as a miniature, have it be inactive and then whip out the transformed state when it starts to lay down the hurt.

[@KrazyKaiser]

I think the target demographic for these toys is "Anyone who will buy them" Hasbro knows that *toys* are generally marketed to and sell best with children, at least traditionally, but now that generations of children who grew up with toys are becoming adults interested in collecting things for nostalgic reasons, that sort of shifts the "overton window" of target demographics for toys, especially when it's attached to a slightly-mature TTRPG franchise like Dungeons and Dragons.

[@demonic_myst4503]

G Amplay wise they just seem like be fun ti use as enemy minis have it in its dice form on the map in the boss room then reveal its true form when they finly attack it

[@yeyga7960]

I want a Huge Giant Crab. That's legit the only monster I'd buy a diceling of. I found it roughly a year ago when I was looking for Beasts to Polymorph into and have been obsessed with it ever since

[@jardex2275]

Would the dicelings work well as miniatures in a D&D session? Personally, I see the dice aspect as a package to unwrap, similar to those sandstone blocks that have a little treasure chest or a fossil hidden inside. The main difference being that you can rewrap the toy again afterwards.

[@kittycuddler_4437]
