Slated to hit store shelves in September of this year and available for pre-order in the WizKids online shop, the miniature will be priced "under $400" with more details to come, and tower over your player characters, monster miniatures, most of your terrain pieces, and likely some small pets at 28.9 inches (73.4 cm) wide, 14.6 inches (37.1 cm) tall, and 16.8 inches (42.8 cm) long, supported by a 200mm clear round base. This new miniature will be the largest officially licensed, playable representation of the classic Dungeons & Dragons antagonist since her earliest incarnation by D&D co-creator Gary Gygax back in 1975.

I'd love to get it, but ages ago I got the Big Red and he's been unused since I got him - so it's just not a practical purchase for me.

Beautiful mini though...

While I appreciate the scale given, this just raises more questions.

What is Tiamat's soda of choice? Coke? Dr. Pepper? She is lawful evil, so, in theory, that rules out either New Coke or Crystal Pepsi.

Wouldn't Tiamat need five cans of soda?

Does Tiamat even drink "soda"? Given that D&D is, ultimately, a product of the Midwest, wouldn't Tiamat drink pop?

She's old skool. She's a RC Cola girl.

Just so you know, I'm totally making assumptions about what your game room looks like, with these posts admiring giant minis lol. can you even call them minis anymore if they are the size of a truck?

well my game room has become a work out room (which gets little use) since Covid We are still not back to in person yet. That being said, when we get the big maps and mini's out I just lay them out on the floor. I have access to a large format printer (36" wide roll), so I have printed some very large maps before.

That still isn't big enough, is it? I mean I thought the Red Dragon head was as big as the old ancient red bigature.

Big enough compared to what? It is larger the official "Gargantuan" size of Tiamat. But I tend to agree that I would like it to be even larger. I guess I will reserve judgement until it arrives!

I may pass since every time I buy a new shiny the PCs encounter it every campaign. I think someone stole my Deck of Many Things.

FYI, here is the blue dragon head (without ears) of the Tiamat model I have next to a Huge balor and human. Is that big enough for you @darjr ?

For that price I might as well get a MonsterArts King Ghidorah as a stand-in. At least it's got articulation...

 

[Undrave]

That's one way to get your money's worth. Just be careful in transport.

At that size you could put it in a pet carrier.
