The magazine was published in 1983.  I'm not sure what additional licensed products came later, but I'm surprised at the variety at such an early time.

Hi,

the sliding puzzles are the little plastic things.

I have a couple kicking round somewhere, but not sure where - I think they are 3 x 3 square things for kids.

Which "plush" toys were issued (if they were)? Don't remember them.

Cheers,
Malc

Thus, a lot of these early items were haphazard, no unifying characters or themes. (See the AD&D beach towels frex, with DCS art.)
F

Was Morley the Wizard just the cartoony character in the print advertisements, or was that also the name of the wizard of the "wizard logo"?

Not that rare, though I seldom see the Charging Knight.
I have seen the others sell without the packing for around $10-$15 at times and not sell at all with $10 BIN's.
Still in the pack minty puzzles sell for more, as one would expect.
A curiosity mostly even now, just like when they were brand spankin new.

If you do manage to find these at some point Malc, I'd love to a pic of them, as my eldest loves doing these puzzles and to see a dragon one or whatever they are would be fun  

Here's a snap of the two I have:
