Gargantuan Miniatures?

[the Jester]

Okay, so does anyone know if WotC has any plans to release minis larger than Huge? A few Gargantuan or even Colossal minis, even if sold individually, would be killer- especially if one or two of them were from the ELH!

MerricB, you're prolly the best resource I know of for this stuff... any word?

Wizards is doing an AT-AT miniature for the Star Wars minis game, which is a Gargantuan (or maybe Colossal? Don't have my books handy) miniature. I think it'll be sold separately, which is the impression I get from the press releases.

 

[MerricB]

They're also doing a garguantuan or colossal Red Dragon, though it hasn't been officially announced yet.

Cheers!

Huge minis have a 3-square diameter base.
Gargantuan minis would have a 4-square diameter base.
Colossal minis would have a 6-square diameter base.
Luke's snowspeeder could be considered size Huge.
Luke's snowspeeder was wholly crushed by a single foot of the AT-AT.
Therefore, a single foot of the AT-AT should be at least 2-square diameter.

Conclusion, an AT-AT would be Colossal, and would in fact be a bit undersized. I think it would require a 9-square base, personally.

Thats cool. I'd like to see it. Hopefully they do a few more garguantuan creatures besides dragons.

So long as its a normal sales item and not a convention chase item like the #@&* Wizkids Galactus and Dark Pheonix. I quit Hero Clix in part beause of this. I hope WoTC doesn't stoop to the same tactics.

I just wrote to say how much I love the oxymoronic title of the thread.

I don't dispure your measurement, but the AT-AT is the two legged mechanical thingie that Chewbacca ultimately comandeers in Return of the Jedi when the muppets (*spitz*) attack the imperial stormtroopers to down the shields protecting the Death Star.

That's an AT-AT.

The four legged machine which crushes Luke's speeder on Hoth - that's not an AT-AT - that's an Imperial Walker.

An AT-AT is much, much smaller.

Uh, no, I believe that is an AT-AT. The smaller, two-legged one, was called an AT-ST. This goes back to my Return of the Jedi curtains, lunchbox, and bedsheets days, but I am pretty sure that an AT-AT was the four legged Imperial Walker.

Yup, I'll back you up on this one.
