I still can't believe it's 2026 and people are still talking about Baldur's Gate 3. But honestly, why wouldn't they? The 2023 Game of the Year winner refuses to fade, and WizKids gave tabletop fans a huge gift back in early 2025: official Dungeons & Dragons miniatures based on the game's beloved cast. If you missed the launch, don't worry—I'm here to walk you through what's available, what it costs, and whether you should grab a guaranteed box or gamble on blind bricks.
The line is called D&D Icons of the Realms: Adventures From Baldur's Gate, and it comes in two main flavors. I think of them as the 'safe bet' and the 'chaos run.' Which one suits you? That depends on whether you need every core companion or you enjoy the thrill of a mystery box.
The Safe Bet: Character Boxed Set
If you want to guarantee that your tabletop party can include the Origin characters, the Character Boxed Set is the way to go. For $49.99 at launch, you got seven hand-painted miniatures modeled after their in-game looks:
-
Karlach 🔥
-
Wyll ⚔️
-
Astarion 🩸
-
Shadowheart 🌙
-
Gale 🧙
-
Lae'zel 🗡️
-
Withers 💀
Yes, Withers is in there too. I love that. He's not a companion in the traditional sense, but he's such an iconic part of the camp that his inclusion feels perfect. Seven minis for fifty bucks is a solid deal if you're a painter, a collector, or a Dungeon Master who wants to drop these characters into a campaign. And let's be real—who hasn't wanted to see Astarion sneaking across a physical battle map?
The Chaos Run: Booster Bricks
Now, if you like surprises, or if you want to expand beyond the core seven, WizKids also released Booster Bricks. Each Booster Brick contains four blind-box miniatures, and the pool is huge: 40 different characters and creatures from Baldur's Gate 3's world. That means you might pull one of the core companions, but you might also get a Githyanki, a Dark Justicar, or even a big old bear. A miniature bear, anyway. 🐻
Here's the pricing breakdown from launch:
| Product | What You Get | Launch Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Character Boxed Set | 7 hand-painted core characters | $49.99 | Guaranteed companions |
| Single Booster Brick | 4 blind miniatures from a 40-figure pool | $24.99 | Surprise and variety |
| Booster Brick Bundle | 8 Booster Bricks = 32 miniatures | $199.92 | Collectors and army builders |
Do the math, and the bundle saves you a little compared to buying eight singles. But remember: blind boxes mean duplicates are possible. If you're chasing a complete set, you might end up with three Lae'zels and no Shadowheart. Is that a risk you're willing to take? For some players, the answer is absolutely yes.
Why This Still Matters in 2026
The miniatures officially hit local game stores starting in February 2025. By now, in 2026, they've had plenty of time to circulate. You can often find them at local game stores, online retailers, or through trade groups. Prices may vary, especially for popular characters, but the original MSRPs give you a good baseline. The hype for Baldur's Gate 3 hasn't vanished, and these minis are a big reason why. They bridge the gap between your screen and your tabletop, letting you bring the characters you spent hundreds of hours with into a new kind of adventure.
As a player, I'd start with the Character Boxed Set. It gives you the emotional core of the game in physical form. Then, if you catch the collecting bug, grab a Booster Brick or two. That's what I did—well, in spirit. The blind-box thrill is real, even when you promise yourself you'll only buy one.
So, are you team guaranteed box or team booster brick? Either way, the D&D Icons of the Realms: Adventures From Baldur's Gate line is a fantastic way to keep the story going. Whether you're rolling dice with friends or painting minis on a quiet Sunday, these figures let you say yes to one more adventure. 🎲
