Archfiends shipping

[Gizzard]

Two boxes only with Unicorn and Clay Golem as rares.

The Unicorn is nice in a happy Sanrio "Hello Kitty" sort of way; I opened the packs in front of a co-worker who grabbed all the other minis and said "cool" but looked at that one and said "What the hell is that? I hope thats not your Rare."

Probably my favorite is "Young Minotaur".

Distribution

The same as Dragoneye. I am missing 3 rares out of 2 cases

Yep.. Got mine from the same place, with the same result. 2 cases, all but 3 rares (Red Wizard, Aspect of Orcus, and Erinyes).

The Aspect of Bane looks pretty good. The Silver Dragon looks great. The Ochre Jelly looks better "in person"; it looked lumpy in the pictures, but I did not realize why until I saw it for real - there's someone being digested in there.

The Vrock is bigger than I expected. Much bigger.

With regards to the "another dog" comment earlier, yeah, there are a lot of canine creatures. Why not a Hellcat for Archfiends ? However, the answer is pretty easy - the minis releases tie into current/recent books. So many of these minis are from the Players Guide to the Forgotten Realms and Miniatures Handbook. However, there was no need to do the Gravehound ... we already have the Wolf Skeleton in Harbinger. One of the Shadow Beasts might have been a better choice, in that sense.

I picked a pack today. Got a Drizzt and a Githzerai (woot!). The Nothic and Earth Elemental are pretty cool too.

The models do seem to be better sculpts and the paint jobs might actually be getting better. Huzzahs all round.

 

[John Crichton]

Seriously?

Yeah. I was surprised to see it as a rare but it's big and the paint job is solid. I'd have no problem plopping it down during a game session.

Complete spoiler lists and galleries are up on my site.

I've also posted some interesting information on Common and Uncommon distribution/packaging for the three sets so far.

Cheers!

I bought 16 boxes off eBay but they haven't arrived yet. Maybe today

Can't wait to rip into them and see what I get. It's like Christmas.

 

[Mystery Man]

I just bought a couple boxes. My Zhent soldier looks cool, got the paladin to Torm and good 'ol Drizzt. The abyssal evicserator is a common?

 

[MerricB]

Abyssal Eviscerator is an Uncommon according to my list.

Cheers!

I only got two...but I pulled a Bone Devil and an Orc Champion. Love that Bone Devil!
