Suggestions for '10 HUge miniature set

[avin]

Peter Lee is looking for some suggestions at Maxminis.com

Some bits of information:

This is an extremely tough problem. I have a great set of 8 huges for Legendary Evils; I'm really looking forward to that set. Next years hasn't quite gelled for me as well as the first one.

I'm especially looking for monster examples for late heroic/early paragon tier.

One I'm currently on the fence is the Winterclaw Owlbear (mostly because I *really* want to do an owlbear that looks like a friggin' owlbear...) but I don't want it to turn out like the huge carrion crawler, so it's currently on my chopping block.

One problem is all the rares will ultimately get compared with Dragons. I have an assumption that every consumer for this product will want to buy 1 dragon. (There will be some that buy 2, and those that buy 0 -- I'm not really sure they're playing Dungeons and DRAGONS anymore... ) Therefore, a miniature needs to be either a solo creature as popular as a dragon -- the huge Beholder may count as that -- or one that half the audience wants two copies, like the titans. (I hope!) I think demons are strong, I like the Balor, Goristro, and Nalfeshnee; maybe the Bebilith, but the Huge Fiendish Spider caused me to delay on that one.

I don't think the Tendriculous or the Black Pudding are particularly strong choices for visible huge figures. While some of you might like one, it's not something the majority of consumers want. Do you want to buy a dragon or something that looks like a melted pile of black plastic?

Don't think uncommon huge. The visible huges can kick ass -- they should be figures you previously saw as rare.

We used a counter from the Fiery Dragon Summoned Creatures Counter Collection 5 last night for a Huge Water Elemental, which is nice enough but a mini is always a bit better for my gang, particularly when we're using minis for other things.

Here's a random assortment of huges I'd love to see done up:
1. Dire shark
2. Dinosaurs! (ie triceratops)
3. Advanced dire bear
4. Catapult
5. Gelatinous cube
6. Crystal golem
7. Froghemoth
8. Aboleth
9. Gazebo
10. Baba Yaga's hut

Let me go through Paragon and Epic counter collections and see what jumps to mind.

Bullette, Dire
Hydra, Mordant
Devourer, Soulspike (with translucent spirits spiked)
Roc, Phoenix
Roc, Thunderbird
Troll, Fell
Titan, Storm
Elemental, Stormrage
Demon, Balor
Colossus, Godforged

These are Huge creatures from the MM1 that I'd like to see.

Mr. Lee, since these will be selling the huge packs, don't be afraid to revisit even semi recent figs that sell well.

1. Balor. They got upped to huge.
2. Huge Hydra with good scale detail.
3. Gold Dragon that is only a purple paint job away from being an Illithid headed dragon
4. Black Dracolich
5. Tiamat. This time posistioned so she wont take up twice her base size
6. Huge Green Dragon. Maybe "Battlescarred Green dragon" if you are not a fan of the new horn.
7. Huge Red Dragon. Just reissue the GoL version or make something that looks a bit better than the DoD huge Red.
8. Huge beholder queen... maybe, huge might be too big for a beholder to be desirable at.

The following are ideas I like, but I would not stake my livelyhood on them selling as well as the above suggestions.

*Huge Kraken /thing rising out of Clear water tinted base
*Huge Kua Toa
*Neolithid
*Huge Chaos Beast
*Nafleshee
*Baphomet
*Gogistro
*Juiblix
*Huge water Elemental

Here's my list of suggestions:

Huge Green Dragon -- I like the idea of "Battlescarred," to get rid of that stupid, stupid horn.

Huge Black Dragon -- The one we have has a rider, which isn't a really big deal, but ...

Huge Blue Dragon -- The blue dragons have gotten some great sculpts. Don't disappoint with the Huge!

Huge Water Elemental -- The completist in me demands it.

Catapult -- I think this is a great idea ... the sort of mini that can inspire encounter-building.

Nalfeshnee -- Big fat demon equals tons o' funs.

Triceratops -- This is a longshot. I love dinosaurs, but too many people bitch when they're included.

Remorhaz -- This is a classic monster. The paint job could make or break this one.

Hydra Skeleton -- WotC did a really good job with the Dracolich, but this one might be too much for the current process, which seems to favor "blobbish" minis.

Fungus Patch -- Just think about it. It could be created on a special square base, even. Another inspiration for encounters.

Remorhaz -- This is a classic monster. The paint job could make or break this one.

The Remorhaz is part of the set released this Summer.

My own:

1. Balor - A must

2. Goristro - lots of these appear in WotC modules

3. Huge Green Dragon - yes!

4. Glabrezu

and looking at late Heroic/early Paragon:

5. Dinosaur - along with stats in a MM, please

6. Black Pudding - in black, transparent plastic!

7. Huge Zombie or Skeleton

8. Hydra

Dragons, dragons, dragons...

Edit: You can never have enough red, black, and to a lesser extent white & green dragons.

Huge demons & devils also very good.
