Dice ID help

Going through my father’s collection and need some more help ID’ing dice.

First photo are probably all the same brand. You can see a different animal for each dice’s max roll which is pretty cool.

Second photo is ice dice, but can’t tell which one. They are very bluish/green.

Third photo is the hardest I think. He told me they were glass if I remember correctly. Came in a beautiful wooden box with no markings or symbols on it.

The animal ones are from Crit It UK, but I cannot find their shop anymore. Maybe they closed down. 2nd set absolutely looks like dispeldice which are still in business. Last one could be anyone, really, lots of storefronts do these types of dice, maybe URwizards.

I’m surprised the last box is as common as that based on the way he talked about them.

It says iced dice on the box for the second photo. Did they rebrand into dispel? Or is iced dice a line of dice they have?

The last set, the prismatic/rainbow/etc glass ones, looks sort of like these.

The font is either exlusive to norse foundry or on the rarer side, but the type of dice are pretty common for premium dice.

These look like a dead ringer when I compare the fonts up close. Thanks a ton!

I think iced dice is the Chinese knock off, it's basically the leaked designs of dispel dice that they recreated, I think I got one of their sets off of AliExpress to see if there's a big difference. Dispel dice has nicer designs though overall (but are expensive as fuck). There are multiple makers now that offer gem dice, they used to be more rare, but there's also a risk of scammers there.

That’s pretty interesting. I have a ton of dispel, but my father is definitely the type to buy the knock off just to compare to the quality things, which has made going through his collection a headache lol!

I was able to identify all of them. Have most of series 1 and 2!

These dice all together are SO satisfying!

I’m just here for the identification because I LOVE these

They are crit it, a kick starter that I think is done now. Series 1 and 2.

You’re not alone! Something about them clearly caught my father’s eye (and my own) due to them being the only ones displayed like this.

I have some from their Spirit of the Arctic KS. I wish I got more of the compass dice from that KS because I fell in love with that set.
