To tell the truth, the Umber Hulk is what got my attention from the article.

Pics?

It it a large uncommon? It is kinda ugly in the pic and it almost looks like it has a huge schnoz between it's mandibles.

I have seen this in person and the dragons neck is not so jarring. I will see if I can get another angle image to post.

BTW, The white dragon mini does suffer a bit from 'Uge 'Edd syndrome.

I mean, it was kinda cool when Draco unhinged his jaw in Dragonheart, but on a mini, it does not look so great.

I like it too, but the detail level changing between body and neck is jarring.

I think it won't be so jarring once the belly is visible, but still looks nice to me.

Give the Umber a cape and he's be doing a wicked Bela Legosi imitation.

I always imagined Wulfgar was more impressive than that, and should be taller than Drizz't.

Dragon looks pretty cool, though. I like the one on the fancy base lower down on the thread - what's that from?

Poor fella, he just lost his eye lenses.

That's a repaint that will be given away to whomever wins the 2007 D&D Minis championship.

I had the web team post a better angle image that shows detail in the neck and chest

By the looks of the dragon, I think they caught him while he was having a poo.

Compared to the black and red... not quite so much. Those two were in worse humanoid/sitting dog style positions. Compared to the blue? Yeah.

Sometimes I wonder what pose folks even want. The Blue looked kind of boring to me. I'm not a fan of the black or blue dragons in general though, so those figures didn't interest me.

I don't think its a change in detail level so much as the scales being different on parts of the body where the creature bends more often. It is my recollection (I took a class back in the late Pleistocene) that some reptiles in real life have larger, banded scales over joints. As fantasy physiology, I certainly buy it.
