I'm curious how many people 'branched out' and used a new monster only because they had a mini for it. I suspect that quite a lot have, and that it's helped to facilitate DMs using monsters beyond the standard orcs-goblins-trolls-wolves.

I would go even further than that. D&D minis are probably going to result in me buying MM3 simply to have the full stats for a lot of the minis that I own.

Although I'm sure that was part of WotC thinking when they were deciding what figures to put in the minis set.

I'd have to vote for the behir

The Blue Dragon is magnificent!

One personal favorite, there is something about that Blackscale Lizardfolk that I just like.


What is you favorite "grouping" of Minis?

I have the Bonded Fire Summoner surrounded by the Small Fire Elemental, the Phoera and the Magma Hurler, but my favorite is the Inspired Lieutenant fingertip to fingertip with the Aasamir Fighter with the Fiendish Girallion and Celestial Pegasus backing them up.

Got the Colossal Red as a christmas present and it is definetly my favorite.

Huge Fire Elemental.

I got two of them, out of buying three boosters.

I'm quite the fan of Ulmo. There are others, but Ulmo's one of my favourites. Mostly because I like Halflings AND Monks!

It was the behir until I picked up the gargantuan blue dragon today.

I know I have. I never used a behir or beholder before I had the mini's for them.
I know that I will get a purple worm in my next campaign though I never used them either.
Same for elementals which I have rarely used. I plan to get some encounters with those soon.
