Wow, I haven't bought a D&D mini in about two years now (I bought one of the original starter sets and one of the booster packs). I wasn't thrilled with not knowing precisely what minis I was getting, and my fears played out. I couldn't believe the cruddy quality (of course, I'm used to painting my own, so my standards may be a bit higher than others).

Now that I know what I'd get on certain D&D mini purchases, I think I'll pass. I prefer putting together dragon minis and painting them, anyway.

As I said before, my $75 is more valuable to me than this thing. I'm sure it looks nice, but that's two game books and a module, or 5 packs of D&D minis, or about 5 to 10 PDF's.

I'll get this one at a discount somewhere. The plastic flame has the same problem the fire elementals in the WotDQ set have, good sculpt, translecent plastic - no real detail. They wash the whole thing in red paint/ink in order to bring out details on a RED plastic piece. Anyone with a sense of color knows it doesn't work that way.

By way of contrast, I used a black wash over my elementals and found a ton of detail, my son said it looked better but was still lacking, so I spent a few hours looking a fire and flame, went back and washed the whole thing in blue - WOW!! What a difference!. Unfortunately, I can't post pics, I don't have a scanner or a digi camera. After the blue wash I went back with the black and hit certain spots and I was VERY pleased with the results. I plan on doing the same thing to the plastic flame puke to see if I can garner similar results.

It can be acquired at far less than this. Of course, so too can the books and modules be acquired at far less than full retail...

Buy.com still has it for $42.50 but no free shipping.

I don't like the flaming puke but I got one coming from Amazon for $37 so I will just display it sans the flame.

I would like to use it in my game sometime but I rarely use dragons so it might be a while.

How tall is this thing?

About 13 Inches.

Ah, and it weighs about 1800 grams.

A height in inches and a weight in grams?

(No, not the guy who tells others what to do - this CRD holds a ruler - the marks stop at 30cm/12", and he's a bit larger than that)
