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.

My bigger point was that articulation comes at the cost of reliability. If you read the reviews from the link I just posted, several of them broke rather easily.

Yes in this case it clearly does. I didn't really look into it or anything, I just knew it existed.

They're making Monster Hunter MonsterArts toys now... so I still think MonsterArts D&D would be epic...

So when do we get a life sized one?

In Russia there is already a 3 head variant

I agree completely. I don't know what I would spend on a fully articulated Tiamat!

I would hate to have to engineer wings for something that large!

I think it's great that there are premium products like this for D&D. Given that I play Warhammer 40k, the price of this particular miniature doesn't strike me as particularly outrageous given its size. I'd absolutely love to surprise my players by busting this sucker out on the table. But since I wouldn't use it very often it'd end up more of a decorative piece than a gaming object. If I ever see it on sale at a discount I might consider it though.

Ok, you guys have inspired me to break out the the Queen of Dragons, slap some pieces back on, and do a little photo shoot. I think I am going to have make some room in my basement to start working on this again. Unfortunately, I've discovered I am missing a few pieces: black & red dragon horns, blue dragon ears, and white dragon lower jaw. So I have a bit more work than I expected to get this back in shape (along with the other modifications I was already planning). Anyway, here you go:

Man, not even close. Kaiju start at about 150 feet tall. A puny little 18-25' Demogorgon goes squish underfoot.

That is why I said “seems”.

That sounds cool! Looking forward to their first foray into action figures!

I've seen the Drizzt action figure released not long ago . . . not sure which company was behind that one. Looked pretty good, although I'm not an action-figure guy.

They did action figures before plus they’re owned by Neca, an action figure company. The Drizzt is Hasbro using Marvel Legends engineering. I have it and he’s pretty good.

No problem with that being the case for the Prince of Demons. Better that than demogorgon look like an obscure two headed troll.

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.
