The Unimule still looks as bad as it did the first time.

This is the third medusa archer we've gotten. Why not a medusa mage, or a medusa fighter with shield and short sword?

Doesn't look like a harpy to me. I think I'll use it as some sort of guardinal/

mi20090422a_yuanti.jpg

Look very nice.

Photo is too poor to make any sort of judgment on this one.
 

My comments on DDMspoilers:

Medusa - like the pose, hands and arms out of proportion. More cartoon... yay...
Unicorn - I like it a lot.
Harpy - The blue clothes just not fit. Whoever is chosing colors have a taste different than mine.
Yuan-Ti - I don't like it by the picture, I don't like the bluewill buy one to check because I like its face.
Snake Swarm - most green snakes don't have poison. Being brazilian I'd laught at that swarm a lot. No danger there (for me). Horrible picture...
 


Extremely Poor photos, as usual. I think WotC does want us to buy their minis and are trying to put us off.

The colours look weird, but that can be mostly the crappy photo.

I'll have to see them in the flesh before I can decide.

They look very cartoonish and too much like kids toys to me, which is bad.

Far from universal, though. The Boomslang breaks a lot of rules for how to tell a poison snake.

Now that I think about it, the Yuan-Ti above seems to be based off of the boomslang coloration-wise. Intentional?

Well, it seems these are poisonous.

In our world there a couple of poisonous green snakes. Green mambas are another example.
Are you certain that's not a mnemonic that's just applicable to Brazil/South America?
 

Like the first preview, these are hit and miss. The unicorn and the yuan-ti are okay, but the others are horrible. I'm still not impressed, and I still think the overall poor quality of these minis does not justify the price increase.
