Dungeons and Dragons has become a huge phenomenon for all ages, first played by Gary Gygax and David Arneson in 1974. Filled with mystery, intriguing characters, boss battles, and camaraderie, this game has become a staple for many game nights. Most games are played in person, with a rulebook, character sheets, and several miniatures scattered across the board, whether it be heroes or evil bosses.
Many of these miniatures are not cheap, with the rarer or more detailed ones earning even more. Below are six of the most valuable Dungeons and Dragons miniatures, ranging from just over $200 to over $800.
6. Tiamat, $240
Starting our list of most valuable Dungeons and Dragons miniatures is Tiamat. Featuring multiple heads, Tiamat is a goddess of the draconic race and is one of the most greedy and villainous opponents in D&D.

5. Orcus, Prince of Undeath, $250
Fifth on our list of most valuable Dungeons and Dragons miniatures is Orcus, Prince of Undeath. A powerful figure in the game, Orcus is a demon prince known for his desire to exterminate all life and turn the multiverse into a world ruled by the undead. Boasting a goat-like head, ram horns, bat wings, and a long tail, this figure is quite daunting even if it’s just a few inches tall, but it towers over other minitatures.
4. Winter Umber Hulk, $349
Next on our list of most valuable Dungeons and Dragons miniatures is the Winter Umber Hulk. A unique figure, it was part of the Holiday Edition released in 2010, featuring a heavily built creature with powerful arms and legs. The most recognizable feature of the Umber Hulk is the mandible, spanning around eight inches long and covering a mouth filled with teeth. The winter Umber Hulk also has a white or pale blue coloring, with ice and frost depicting certain parts of the miniature’s body.

Some versions of the miniature have a glowing central eye, and this one is known for its cruel and solitary nature since it’s an “Eye of Frost” beholder.
