Variants

Character Background
Tasha (also known as Iggwilv) is a legendary archmage in D&D lore, creator of the spell 'Tasha's Hideous Laughter' and author of the Demonomicon.
Design Notes
The hair-hat combination is a specialized dual-mold/attachment design that allows the iconic witch hat to sit realistically over thick hair, a major improvement over classic witch hats.
Similar Minifigures
Series 26 Witch, CMF Series 25 Harpy, and various Harry Potter Professor figures (like Professor McGonagall).
Collectibility
High. As the first official LEGO D&D Tasha, she is a must-have for both LEGO Castle fans and Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts.
History
Based on the winning entry of a LEGO Ideas fan contest to celebrate 50 years of D&D. This represents LEGO's first foray into official D&D licensing.
Interesting Facts
Tasha's appearance in this set is a nod to her being one of the most famous female characters in tabletop RPG history; her spellbook tile is unique to this set.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed holding her book open. Looks excellent inside a medieval library MOC or alongside the Red Dragon 'Cinderhellion'.
Modification Potential
The hairpiece is highly desired for custom fantasy MOCs. The torso works well for dark-fantasy rogues or thieves.
Overall Assessment
A 10/10 minifigure in terms of design and printing. It captures the 'Witch Queen' aesthetic perfectly with no cost-cutting on the printing or accessories.
