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.

Pre-painted or unpainted and assemply required?

Alright, this at least stirs up the Dragonlance hypothesis - or at least Draconomicon.

It doesn't explicitly say, but I believe like all of their previous gargantuan minis it will be pre-painted and assembled.

I've played with some of the oversized miniatures now and then and they were not very practical. They're simply too big, it's hard to see other minis.

I mean, it looks awesome and if you like this kind of thing for display more power to you. For the game table? Meh.

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

Aren't their dracolich and demogorgon neither painted nor assembled or am I mixing up different companies?

Haha, oh yeah. Whoops.

 

[Imaculata]

Ooh, Venger is going to be pissed!

Agreed. The one I already have is about too big for practical use. The bone dragon from Reaper is definitely too big for practical use, and this new model is slightly bigger than the bone dragon. Photo attached for comparison
