Tracking down some awesome boss monsters

[Quickleaf]

I have an unhealthy obsession with boss monster IMC, and I'm trying to track down a couple. I prefer prepainted plastics, the less fragile the better, but I will break out the paints for a truly exceptional figure. Any company/line is fine.

Medusa/Gorgona

in the bottom right frame there are three very big gorgonae. I'm looking for something that retains it's feminine character without being totally hideous, and has lots of coils. Bonus points if it has an "oracle" vibe or a staff/bow.

Wicker Man

This guy is a really big scarecrow-esque golem with some fire magic and big claws to pull victims inside it's cage-like torso to be incinerated. I like that pointed face from the Midnight "Minions of Shadow" sourcebook cover... there's something just sinister about it.

Goliath Ruler

Called the 'Paldishan' IMC, he's a fierce warlord of a highly advanced but still primal culture governed by a Confucius type code which is extremely dogmatic. In some ways he's a standin for the 'Arishok' from Dragon Age II. Not a true villain but definitely an antagonist.

Ash Demon

A sort of amalgamation of the Dust Demon (from Elemental Chaos 4e book), Ashwraith (from Dragon Age), and the Immolith. Actually the Immolith mini is almost perfect, but if there's something bigger and darker I would prefer that.

Osheroth

I would love to get my hands on that Monsterpocalypse mini, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere Maybe there are good Cthulu-esque standins? A must is independent tentacle minis, either as part of the set or roughly matching the mini. The abolothe slime mage is a possibility but I like my boss monster bigger, like a least huge.

Thanks for helping a boss DM, or just sharing your favorite boss minis.

Is it bad form to *bump* after just 2 days?
I usually end up *bumping* other people, but I am still looking and haven't gotten any hits, so it's just me *bumping* myself.

Of course I'm talking about this minis thread!

Hmm, if there is ever a Model, Toy or Gashapon for Ricardo Irving's final form from Resident Evil / Biohazard 5, that should make for an awesome Kraken / Aboleth, depending on scale.

Horror Clicks Cthulhu model might what you want if you can find it on, say e-bay. You could make tentacles "rising from the ground" with green stuff or crayola model magic (cheap, air-drying clay)

Visions in Fantasy - Gorgon with Bow (It's unpainted metal, but I think it fits what your looking for on the Gorgon front)

That indeed would make a great mini!

Sweet!! But I don't think I could cough up $80 for a single mini, even one as cool as that.

Visions in Fantasy - Gorgon with Bow (It's unpainted metal, but I think it fits what your looking for on the Gorgon front)

Those are some nice minis, thanks for pointing out the Dark Sword site. Unfortunately I'm looking for a really big mini (preferably huge-ish), and their 28 mm gorgon is about a medium.

I found a good standin for the Goliath Paldishan and Osheroth, but still looking for a cool Wicker Man. Any suggestions?

Goliath Paldishan (ogre mags mini)

Osheroth (roper mini)

I found this amazing large 30mm sculpt by the French minis expert JAG for the Helldorado game. It's called "Kuan Yin, Naga Priestess".

This would be a superb gorgon/medusa!

Still trying to figure out a suitable wicker man.
