I had the Fortress Of Fangs as a kid, but it was the only D&D toy I owned. I got it for Christmas sometime in the early 80’s, probably ’84 if I had to guess. I say I got it, it may have been technically gifted to my brother but we shared our toys and he grew out of them a little prematurely (he thought he was too cool for toys by the time he was 10) and then they were ALL mine. Since I don’t recall us ever being interested in anything D&D (I didn’t know there was even a cartoon until I read this article and we didn’t play RPGs), and nobody else I knew had any D&D toys, I’m guessing my mom probably found it on clearance or something and correctly assumed we’d like it. Or maybe she thought it was He-Man related, around the same time my brother and I got Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain (respectively) for Christmas. I don’t think I ever used it as a He-Man playset, they weren’t the right scale as I recall, but I used it with my Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures. It just popped into my mind after 20 years of forgetting about it, and for some reason I thought it was a D&D toy, but I didn’t know for sure because I don’t think I’d heard of D&D back then and I wasn’t even sure they made a toy line. But a Google search later there it was staring me in the face, it seemed much larger back then though.

I have one too. Do you have the weapon rack? I don’t see it in your photos. Anyway, my FOF is missing the axe and the spike wall handle, as well as the catapult stones (which were green like the fortress).

[…] It was mostly guns, blasters, lightsabers and missiles. I remember owning the Dungeon and Dragons Fortress of Fangs, but not any other figures to go along with this fantastic playset. Fortunately for your child, […]
