WizKids & Walmart.com Team Up to Make D&D Miniature Shopping a Breeze

Must read

Painted miniatures have been a huge part of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons since the game’s inception, and for years WizKids has been one of the go-to sources for Dungeon Masters, fans and collectors to expand their mini collections. Their celebrated D&D Icons of the Realms line of pre-painted miniatures exploring exciting world and campaign settings has brought so many amazing minis to tabletops across the globe. Thanks to online shopping, gamers have way more options than they used to when it comes to expanding their miniature collections, and WizKids and Walmart.com are making that even easier.




Fresh off the back of the announcement that select D&D Icons of the Realms sets can now be found in Target stores and online, WizKids recently announced that they’re teaming up with Walmart.com as well, just in time for the holiday shopping season. Featuring two exclusive product bundles only previously sold through game and hobby shops and online at the official WizKids and D&D Mini shops, these bundles were offered in limited quantities until now.

Icons of the Realms Starter Set with Sandcastle Mimic


Whether a brand-new DM or a collector looking to expand one’s collection, the Starter Miniature Bundle is the perfect place to start. Including six player character miniatures, each one is representative of six basic Dungeons & Dragons‘ classes: Gold Dwarf Cleric, Human Ranger, Sun Elf Wizard, Northlands Fighter, Lightfood Halfling Rogue and the Wood Elf Druid. This starter set is great because it gives first-time DMs and players a full party of characters to set out on adventures with as they become familiar with the game and its mechanics.

In addition to a party of six in the Starter Set, the bundle also includes an iconic pre-painted mimic unlike the standard chest most players are familiar with. The Sandcastle Mimic, previously only available at conventions throughout 2024 and in limited quantities at WizKids online, now everyone can snag this brutal aberration. Whether running a campaign along the coast or planning ways to remind adventuring parties that even a walk along the beach can be terrifying, the Sandcastle Mimic is a must-have pre-painted miniature.

With individual Booster boxes generally selling at game and hobby shops, as well as online retailers, for around $19.99 a piece, laying hands on two Booster boxes, each containing 4 total miniatures—1 large and 3 medium or small minis—as well as exclusive miniatures for the iconic hero Baldur’s Gate hero Minsc and his giant miniature space hamster Boo and the Birthday Cake Mimic is a huge bargain. In total, that’s 12 miniatures for less than half the price!

With WizKids teaming up with Target to bring D&D Icons of the Realms Minis to Target stores, shopping for D&D fans is easier than ever.

The bundle includes one Booster Box each from D&D Icons of the Realms: Quests from the Infinite Staircase and Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus. With 45 miniatures to collect from each different set, for a total of 90, collectors can pad their collection with unique monsters, heroes and NPCs for those epic explorations of the official D&D material they coincide with. Additionally, Minsc & Boo and the Birthday Cake Mimic have been available almost exclusively at conventions throughout 2024, as well as in limited quantities from the WizKids store, but now both are much easier to add to collections.


One of the exciting things about this bundle is that, regardless of where DMs are sending their players, these minis pair well with all kinds of campaign settings and adventures. Planning to take the party through some Baldur’s Gate 3 adventures alongside Astarion, Karlach, Gale, Lae’zel, Wyll and Shadowheart? The Icons of the Realms: Descent Into Avernus set, as well as Minsc & Boo, pair perfectly with the upcoming BG3 Booster and character sets coming to WizKids in February 2025.
