Dark Horse Direct Presents Critical Role Origins Bookends
First up, we have the exclusive reveal for Dark Horse Direct’s Critical Role Origins Bookends. We’ll dive into just how cool they are in detail, but first, let’s just look at these bookends. Aren’t they incredible?
Formed to look like Dungeons & Dragons dice, these bookends replace the usual numbers with sigils that represent Critical Role‘s beloved characters from both the Vox Machina and Mighty Nein parties. If you take a closer look, you might be able to find your favorite character’s side of the die. We’re pretty sure we see our favorite guy, Percy de Rolo, represented by his trusty pepperbox. We love it.
These Bookends Celebrate Vox Machina and Mighty Nein
Let’s get even deeper into it. On one side of these Critical Role Origins Bookends, you’ll find a golden 20-sided die, which is etched with the symbols of Vox Machina. This bookend represents the heroes who defeated legendary foes, toppled the Chroma Conclave, and built their legacy throughout Tal’Dorei. On the other side, you’ll see a blue 12-sided die bears the marks of the Mighty Nein, the unpredictable misfits who challenged fate, forged unbreakable bonds, and saved Wildemount from an aberrant end. There’s nothing we love better than a stylish and subtle fannish display.
These Critical Role Origins Bookends offer the perfect blend of aesthetic and fandom. And there’s more to discover and uncover with every look. (Role for perception!) The D20, the D12, and the Critical Role Easter eggs all come together to make the perfect gift for the Critters in your life (or just yourself)—one they’ll be thrilled to display in any room in their house.
More Details About the Critical Role Origins Bookends Including Size, Price, and Availability
The dice bookends rest on a decorative base, and they’ll definitely help any slightly messy misfit or legendary (but slightly all over the place) hero conquer their collection of Critical Role books such as The Chronicles of Exandria, The Mighty Nein Origins, and tales yet to be told. Each bookend is made of polyresin and stands 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide. Each piece will also include a hand-numbered base and a hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity. These amazing creations were sculpted by Bigshot Toyworks with prototyping and paint by J.W. Productions.
The Critical Role Origins Bookends are now available to pre-order exclusively from Dark Horse Direct. This fannish product will cost $179.99. The bookends are expected to ship to customers between November and January. There will only be 1,000 of these bookends available, so there will be an ordering limitation of two per customer.
