[Lidgar]

Thanks, I now have a completely irrational urge to run out and buy these immediately upon release.

Perfect for our current TOEE campaign!

 

[Mecheon]

That is a good classic Bulette, as an owner of way too many of the original toy

 

[TarionzCousin]

$100??? That seems... excessive.

 

[TerraDave]

Oh that is amazing.

And even better, their is still the rest of the alphabet!

 

[DarkCrisis]

$100??? That seems... excessive.

They typically charge about $10 a prepainted mini in sets where you know what you are getting.

 

[Mad_Jack]

If the price wasn't so high, I'd be collecting all of them as they come out.

Now I won't have to use the same figure to represent my ankheg and carrion crawler. Most of them do look good, but $100 may need to wait until Christmas.

I'm not a mini guy. However, these look gorgeous. I love the older designs of these monsters. I especially love the old beholder design; it's literally a maniacal giant floating eyeball. That grin!

 

[el-remmen]

I really want it - but it is WAY over priced for 8 pre-painted plastic minis.

Wizkids often issues subsequent unpainted versions of their prepainted minis. These might be a good choice for that path.

 

[Riley]

That Chimera looks nice, if the paint is anywhere near that good in the released product.

 

[Andvari]

I must say I prefer Otherworld Miniatures' takes on the classic Monster Manual beasties. Particularly the OM bulette just cannot be beat. They aren't pre-painted, though. And no ankheg or couatl.

That sure is a 1e beholder all right.

 

[Richards]

If they're charging $100.00 for 8 minis from A-C, the letter D is going to cost about $300.00 all by itself, unless they split it into multiple collections. Demons, devils, dragons, dinosaurs, displacer beasts....

Same. I love the idea, but it's out of my range.

No kidding, they're trying to hit that nostalgia button way too hard.

Lucky me, I got an old Ral Partha mini of the Mind Flayer that mimics the one from the MM. Not many other monsters I'd get based on the old artwork (well, other than the bulette looking pretty good...)

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

Love that chimera! I hope the do them all! I might spring for this, but might need to hold out for the Ds!

 

[gnarlygninja]

These look neat but as always, I'll wait for the unpainted ones. The prices for pre-painted minis is just too high imo.

 

[Ancalagon]

$100??? That seems... excessive.

maybe they are made with the finest lead for that authentic classic feel?
