Weiss. The Box Set 1 will come with miniatures of the following characters: Maeglin, Raven Familiar, Kimathi Stormhallow, Brago, Neruk the Unkillable, Phann Nailo, Lapp, and Christopher Squakin Talk.

Not familiar with Joe M's campaign itself, but these look like great BBEG/villain NPC miniatures so I imagine I'll try to pick these up if they're at a reasonable price. I'm getting some mileage out of Arkhan and the Dark Order in a similar vein.

[Brophy]

For me, whatever set has the Dwarf/bear is a must buy.
There are definitely some cool sculpts here.

[Imbalance]

Now I'm just imagining a line based on celebrities' D&D characters.

[Guyra]

Lots of cool stuff here! And stuff that'd definitely see use at my table!

[BBShockwave]

They look cool, but more like something out of a Spawn comic than D&D. I mean is that an Orc Two-Face? And the archer guy is dual-wielding a bow and a crossbow??? How does that work unless he has some third arm hidden under the cloak? They look kinda like the type of über-badass character every teenager designs for their first player character.
I am always confused, so this Joe Manganiello guy, is he not a part of the Critical Role thing as well? This is something unrelated to that?
The Raven and the armored Polar Bear are not bad. Also that wizard with the green staff is a dead-ringer to Raistlin Majere IMHO (proving there is nothing new under the sun, I guess)
Here are the names, if anyone wants to identify them (LOOL one of them is literally called MinMax...)
Set 1: Maeglin, Raven Familiar, Kimathi Stormhallow, Brago, Neruk the Unkillable, Phann Nailo, Lapp, and Christopher Squakin

Set 2: Marat Occisor, Kalatuur MinMax, Oriax, Kasin, Flying Carpet, The Ghost of Jericho Blackwing, Hugo Ledbetter, and Ullac Jotunn.

Dang, these look awesome! I'll probably pick this up, depending on price.

[Clint]

lol this set is so butch.

I like Manganiello but his group plays a very he-man game. I want the carpet, though.

[Imbalance]

I mean, other than being a sausage party, I can actually appreciate the garish and EXTREEEEEME look, but calling them out as Spawn characters really brings it home and now I have to have them all.

Except for the birds. Not sure about them.

[SkyDomer]

I really like the look of these sets. Lots of great character minis and villain minis to use at the table. A few are some of these might be a little hard to get on my table but all around I really like what I see. I am curious what the price of these will be hopefully not something too high or out of my price range because I want these.

[greyhaze]

Bot gonna lie, these looks awesome.

[FryMinis]

Daaang color me impressed.

[deadsmurf]

Cool minis, not anything I am personally looking for though - except maybe that magic carpet - might try to grab that as a single if any sellers do break up a set or two.

[jaredh]

So the first flying carpet is gonna be in this set?

They are really aiming for profit from this set....they have to know there are tons of people who will buy the box with that carpet in it.

Don't expect to see the carpet and the mounted dwarf in the same box.....these are the two minis that I suspect will be the most wanted from these.

The rest are mostly good in these images though....

[Tilt]

These minis look great.

Many of them are just full of character and very different and unique. This is the type of mini design we need to see. Take some chances and do something we have not seen in the past.

I am guessing that some of these are NPC villains.
