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.

Dead in 3 rounds ..!

unless your playing pathfinder, he rolls a 1 initiative and then rolls a 1 saving throw vs ottos irresistible dance and dies the dumbest death possible in fantasy roleplay (yes this has happened to me)

I have a Reaper Demogorgon, Demonic Lasher, that I am painting. Reaper Miniatures

Scales perfectly to the original sizes. I do want the GF9 one though.

I did a quick google search on the Demonic Lasher and it is 67mm tall, which makes it about 13 feet tall to scale which is about 2/3 the 18-foot height of the 1e Demogorgon. Not acceptable in my book.

In general I am not a fan of the size inflation over editions, with 2 exceptions: dragons and the Prince of Demons.

I want my gargantuan green to finish my collection of gargantuan chromatics. But, this bad girl will become the new center piece of my dragon cabinet.

Yeah Giants are too gigantic and Beholders have become too fat!

 

[DM Magic]

Man, if only there was a clue somewhere that you are a fan of Tiamat...

Tell me you're a fan of Tiamat without saying you're a fan of Tiamat.

Have they had previews of the green yet? Mini galley took the green off the list of upcoming models after being on there for a couple months.

Has WizKids shown any of the Gargantuan dragons other than the white? I seen the Huge white, black, and red, but the only Gargantuan white I have seen is: ARVEIATURACE - GARGANTUAN WHITE DRAGON

OK, my resolve lasted for 2 days before I pre-ordered

how much is it?

 

[Mirtek]

how much is it?

$400 Tiamat
$70 Green Dracolich (looks nice and since I am paying international shipping anyway I may as well make it worth it)
$70 international shipping

No information on import taxes from Wizkids, but based on various custom fee calculators I found only probably between 150-180 EUR

Not that I’ve seen and maybe the green, with no preview pictures, was for the huge line up.

If there is an unpainted version, I might go that route, but I am using contrast paints. To use acrylics on that thing would take me at least a year to finish it.

Pretty sure it is pre-painted. I want to change the color scheme too.

Vee Muse YouTube for wizkids yesterday mentioned a unpainted Tiamat version is highly likely. She also mentioned the adult green dragon is coming out in June.

I almost bought Tiamat but went with the adult blue dragon today. Tiamat on the horizon.

Can I change my pre-order to an unpainted version?!

Also what do you mean by: "...the adult green co."

 

[EthanSental]

Typo corrected on the green dragon.

as far as the painted vs unpainted, the unpainted isn’t confirmed but she mentions it being highly likely, probably 2022 since the first wave of the painted is in September.

Aren't we all supposed to pretend that Tiamat and Takhsis are two different beings?

Naah, barring the splitting shenigans, Wizards have quietly allowed them to be the same person again.

 

[Poet22]

I've decided to NOT get it...Instead, I'm going to order their previous Tiamat that is smaller but more useable!

I would have loved if if they didn't make it quiet. Takhsis as a rogue avatar of Tiamat who had to be hunted down and reabsorbed when Tiamat was weakened after a setback could have been a fun story. (Not quite sure how it would work as an adventure, though.)
