Dragon's Lair 3-D was the fourth video game in the epic Dragon's Lair series which started in 1983. One thing that made this series stand out from the rest was the princess. Animation for the game was provided by Don Bluth, the ex-Disney animator responsible for such non-Disney classics as The Secret of Nimh, An American Tail, and The Land Before Time. Bluth created Princess Daphne as a decidedly more sexual character than similar damsels in distress, even reportedly using Playboy pinups as inspiration. Needless to say this provided major encouragement for all the adolescent gamers out there. Over the years, this property has inspired plenty of games, comics, cartoons, and merchandise, but surprisingly very few action figures. Then in 2002, the company AnJon produced an amazing set of action figures based off the Dragon's Lair 3-D: Return to the Lair game for Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2. AnJon did the characters justice with this high quality lineup. On to the Princess Daphne review!
