Let's be honest, Crawlers: you have been asking for a way to hold the nightmare in your hands, and the universe has finally listened. The upcoming *Allies & Enemies* miniatures expansion set, arriving alongside the *Dungeon Crawler Carl* RPG and the *Unstoppable* deck-building game in November, is not merely merchandise, it is a tactical deployment of your disposable income. According to Renegade Game Studios, this set brings ten prepainted figures of the World Dungeon's most memorable allies, rivals, and enemies to retail on November 23, 2026, which means you can now stage your own petty grudges on a tabletop. This is excellent timing, given the recent news that Vault Comics to print the Dungeon Crawler Carl WEBTOON in dead tree form and the broader expansion of the franchise into physical media. The question is not whether you will buy these, but whether your shelf can survive the weight of your obsession.
Let us talk about the lineup, because I have opinions and you are going to hear them. The inclusion of Prepotente, Pony, the goat with the vocabulary of a disgruntled librarian and the power to make you reconsider your life choices, is correct. His companion Bianca is also here, which tells me someone at Renegade has actually read past Book 3. Hekla and Eva appear together, which is either a gesture of narrative completeness or a warning about what happens when you bring a repeating crossbow to a floor made of trains. And then there is Quan Ch, the "cheater" as Princess Donut so elegantly puts it, which is rich coming from a cat who has never paid for a single enchanted biscuit. The real prize, however, is Lucia Mar in both day and night variants, because nothing says "I support your hobby" like paying for the same character twice to represent her mood swings. The set was originally part of the $399 Legendary RPG Loot Box during the BackerKit campaign, but now you can pick it up for a mere $65 at retail. I would describe this as a bargain, but only if you ignore the fact that you are spending sixty-five dollars on plastic people who will judge you from a shelf.
What does this mean for you in practical terms, beyond the obvious depletion of your wallet? It means the gap between now and *The Beautiful Place*, Book 9, which Matt Dinniman has teased with chapters that I have read and will not summarize because that would ruin your fun, can be filled with tiny, painted reminders of every betrayal, every alliance, and every time Carl lost his pants. The Allies and Enemies Miniatures Set to Clutter Shelves November 2026 is not a distraction; it is a staging ground. You can now play out the Iron Tangle incident with Hekla and Eva on your dining table, or you can simply arrange Pony and Bianca next to Lucia Mar and wonder what they are saying to each other. The 28-32mm scale makes these compatible with other tabletop games, which is Renegade's polite way of saying they know you will use them for everything except the intended purpose. The release date is listed as November 23, 2026, though Renegade itself only confirms a November window, so treat that date the way you treat a dungeon collapse timer: hopeful, but ready to sprint.
The concrete takeaway is this: if you missed the crowdfunding campaign, you have one month to preorder before the retail release, and I would advise you to do so before the scalpers treat this like a limited-edition loot box. The *Dungeon Crawler Carl* franchise is expanding faster than a floor collapse, and the Five Horror Books for Crawlers Who Want More Dread may tide you over for the story, but the miniatures are what will keep your hands busy. I am not sentimental about plastic, but I am curious to see which of you paints Pony with the correct shade of indignation. The timer is set. Do not blame me when your credit card weeps.
