This one at least comes with it's own playable adventure, so this is actually appropriate for rec.games.frp.dnd.
Oh, and well, there's the whole "using lego figures as minis" thing that some people do.

This one is literally just lifestyle branding. And I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I kind of hate the way they are trying to force that sort of bland renfair fantasy on their customers.
In this case the stuff actually looks quite cool I have to admit though. Not that I would buy that one, except for my kids.

  and some more stuff...
Clothing

Link to the actual clothes:

Those look pretty cool, too bad 9/10ths are women's clothes, and the few men's look a bit trash other than the dragon sweater.  I don't really want or need the & on the sleeve and can probably find better dragon shirts if I look around though.

Stumble Guys (whatever that is)

Battle Royale computer game.  I think those are starting to wane in popularity and that looks like a cash grab, of course so does all this crap that's not D&D itself.  I seem to remember TSR doing dumb shit like this before both downfalls.
