Looks cool, and I like that they will be 'Angels.'Macetail Behemoth - an Ankylosaurus by any other name, but I like the non-dinosaur name and hope they continue it.Manticore Sniper - a MUCH better figure than the previous. I like the return to a more classic look... easily my favorite manticore fig  from any suystem.Osyluth - after holding it in my hand, I'm sold on the new Bone Devil look. The website pic isn't from the best angle and doesn't do it justice. A very nice fig.Blade Spider - another new creature. Looks good, but my favorite large monstrous spider is the one from DragoneyeCyclops - another great fig for a new creature. Contrary to the discussion based on the website pic, his single eye does look correct... it is not on the bridge of his nose.Drider - nothing 4E here, but man, it's a gorgeous fig!Feral Troll - love the beefier troll!Fire Archon - cool fig for another new creature.Ogre Brute - another great revision. Much better than the yellow Jar Jar Binks types we were getting. This looks like I expect an ogre to look.Ettercap Webspinner - the first (and maybe only) fig that I like the old looks better.Black Woods Dryad - nice new look. You know they mean business.Rot Scarab Swarm  and Demonweb Swarm - I like doing swarms this way, as mobs of flat medium bases instead of the previous piled up large bases. makes for better mechanics and aesthetics. Some people may feel these are a ripoff, but I disgaree. I like the functionality and I think it frees up room in the budget and the boxes for more larges. With maybe one exception, I think I got a nice large in every box that had one of these. I also seemed to notice that a box with a good large would have one of each of these and five mediums. Still a good deal, IMO, since this set seemed to have lots of nice larges.Boneshard Skeleton - new creature, with a really evil drak gray & red color. Nice skellie fig that's not doing the lawnmower like the Deathlock or Deathguard.I think that's all that have any hints toward 4E. I gotta run...my wife's calling me to watch 'Big Bang Theory' (appropo, huh?) Anyway, I think that DoD is a fantastic set sculpt and paint wise... they've come a long way since Harbinger.</blockquote>
