[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 4840327, member: 58197"] Some definite winners here, at least judging by the preview. Minis currently on my must-buy list: [LIST] [*][B]Elder Green Dragon.[/B] I already have a Huge-sized dragon mini, but this one looks so incredibly bad-ass that I just have to get one. [*][B]Balor.[/B] Droooooool. [*][B]Beholder Ultimate Tyrant.[/B] Nothing wrong with purple. [*][B]Doom Dreamer.[/B] My current campaign involves an evil cult; these guys will fit in well, alongside the Blood of Vol Fanatics I use for the more warlike cult members. [*][B]Human Rabble.[/B] These guys will be perfect for bandits and other such fellows. [/LIST] For the rest of the set: [LIST] [*][B]Goblins: [/B]Both excellent. [*][B]Draconians:[/B] Don't like the Aurak, very much like the Sivak. [*][B]Dragons:[/B] Brown is pretty decent. Reserving judgement on the Iron until we get a shot of it that isn't face on. [*][B]Frost Titan:[/B] Doesn't do it for me. Too chunky, and I'm not generally a fan of minis that are primarily transparent. I wish WotC would lay off those. [*][B]Archons: [/B]Air mediocre (primarily transparent again), earth excellent. [*][B]Barghest: [/B]Looks solid from this angle. [*][B]Chillfire Destroyer:[/B] See previous comment on all-transparent minis. This one is doubly bad because it's two different colors of transparent. You'd think they'd have learned from the blazing skeleton. [*][B]Bolraza:[/B] Good mini, nothing special though. [*][B]Chuul:[/B] A very well-done and attractive mini of something I'm very unlikely to use in a game. [*][B]Djinn Stormsword:[/B] Okay, now this is how transparent elements [I]should[/I] be used. I'm liking this one. Again, I don't use djinn much, but I might pick up a couple of these just on the off chance. [*][B]Duergar:[/B] Look good from what I can see, although since they're all black, what I can see isn't much. [*][B]Foulspawn:[/B] Like the hulk and seer, [I]love[/I] the mangler. [*][B]Githzerai:[/B] Decent, not stunning. If I decide to make extensive use of githyanki/zerai, I'll probably pick some up. [*][B]Goristro:[/B] Can't make up my mind on this one. It looks distorted, its head is too big. But then it's supposed to, isn't it? The one thing I can say for certain is I'd like it better without the random spikes. [*][B]Hezrou:[/B] Oooh, very very nice. I want. Don't have a lot of use for it, but I still want it. [*][B]Hoard Scarab Larva Swarm:[/B] Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, "Huh?" Is this supposed to be a swarm or a treasure hoard? I don't get it. It's a nice-looking treasure hoard, if that's what it is.

[*][B]Storm Titan:[/B] So-so. I like the pose, and good use of transparent elements (notice how they [i]aren't[/i] part of the main figure). The dark blue skin with white lightning bolts doesn't do it for me though. [*][B]War Troll:[/B] Not sure how I feel about the new look of the troll, but this is a good specimen.
