Re: D&D Icons of the Realms - Autumn and Winter Eladrin Promos

Actually, the autumn Eladrin does work with some bundles—like the mystery Nolzur's bundle and the Frameworks paint bundle—but not all of them. (Might be a hint as to which bundles still aren't selling well...)

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms - Autumn and Winter Eladrin Promos

Looks like the autumn Eladrin promo doesn’t work with bundles. Too bad.

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms - Autumn and Winter Eladrin Promos

Summer Eladrin worked if you just bought a bundle—I'm not 100% sure but IIRC that hadn't been the case with the Spring Eladrin, and that could certainly account for the Summer ones running out early. Assuming the Autumn figure works with bundles too, I'll have to figure out what to get, as they are ...

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Adult Black Dragon

According to the article about this mini at ENWorld, it’s actually a “Huge mini on a Gargantuan base”—which sounds like the same as all the other adult dragons from Icons. We might have been assuming too much when we all thought this would be on a Huge base.

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Adult Black Dragon

Hasbro has never made miniatures before - heck, they allowed not just Wizkids but Jada to make metal D&D prepainted minis, after all. So I'd not be worried about them taking back the license. They do not have the capacity or experience for making minis, at least not yet. I had thought the DDM m...

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Adult Black Dragon

I don’t want to parade on anyone’s rain, but from my perspective I’m mostly glad about this news, for three reasons: - I like having bases that match the statblock size. This mini is on the right base and still looks to me like a good size for an adult (unlike the Young Dragon minis WK has produced ...

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms - Red Ghost Dragon

The Fizban's illustration of the ghost copper is great because its green hues work both as a classic "ghostly green" and as a "highly oxidized and then muted copper." That blend of color connotations doesn't work with a Red ghost, of course. Unfortunately I am not at all a fan of...

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Quests from the Infinite Staircase (Set 33)

While I still don't care for them as an idea (Elementals already are made of materials that are either incorporeal like air, or resistant to all sorts of damage like water and fire, why would they wear metal armor?) Official lore says the armor is what enslaves them. You use a ritual to create myrm...

Maybe—but NI has a blue light shining from the left. I think the blue shine is just a reflection of that light.

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Quests from the Infinite Staircase (Set 33)

It, and the Yuan-Ti Anathema, definitely need a second attempt to make them larger. They're not alone! The Metallic Peacekeeper is almost as bad as the rug and, being a highly specialized creature, is more unlikely to ever get a redo. And of course there's the opposite issue with a lot of minis bei...

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Quests from the Infinite Staircase (Set 33)

The gibberling "swarm" mini does look silly on its own. I don't like the 2D/3D combo at all. I get why WizKids is bundling 2D standees with 3D minis in recent encounter playsets to keep the price reasonable, but personally I don't want to field the two styles on the same tabletop, let alon...

Re: Sales and events

The kraken bundle always had the dohwar promo. It was one of the first bundles (or maybe the very first) to sell out, and unlike most of the other sold-out bundles, its listing was actually removed completely—at least from dndmini.com (I’m not sure about the wizkids storefront). I remember all this ...

The summer Eladrin promo went up when summer started in the northern hemisphere.

Re: D&D Icons of the Realms: Return of the Dragons (Set 34)

In response to Mr. Goblin's query about whether they might continue with similar revisions for other early sets such as Elemental Evil, the GenCon interviewee says "We'll see. But also D&D's going in new directions, so we'll see." He's clearly thinking of something specific with that s...

Re: GenCon Exclusives

What a bargain! Only $55 for Minsc and $55 for Boo. That’s less than $56 per NPC! Jump on it!
