Best Premium Single Miniature Set of 2020

Post by Kor »

Vote for a pre-painted single miniature set released in 2020 which you believe deserves the title of "Best of 2020".

We are defining a "single miniatures set" as a set which primarily features 1 miniature.

Shouldn't Chardalyn Dragon also be on this list?
This is too expensive.

Love all of these so picking just one is difficult....so it’s narrowly the Chardalyn Dragon over the Purple Worm and the Adult White & Black. Wizkids is on one hell of a roll.

It's hard picking just one ... and it's funny that the two I currently own of these are the two least likely to win(Polukranos and Sapphire Dragon). xD

The “Adult” dragons make excellent gargantuan dragons, and I do feel they are surpassing the old Icons versions in looks. However, I was really nice to get a truly gargantuan purple worm. So much so, that I got two. Personally, I think it even beats the Goremaw model, especially since it is PPM. I do wish it had a tail mini though, the stinger is an important tool in combat. Anyways, the Purple Worm gets my vote.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.

There is some tough competition in this category. I am a big fan of the Polukranos mini and I really wanted to cast my vote that way -- but alas the Purple Worm wiggled its way to the top of my list.

I love the Chardalyn & Black Dragon along with the purple worm and Polukranos, but Sapphire was the Dragon that got me back into the preprinted mini's game so have to go with that one!

Welcome to minisgallery, fishe111.

I liked it because it is the FIRST EVER gem dragon in 17 years of PPM. But, I still voted for the Purple Worm because they are such a fun encounter.

Polukranos is probably tied with the adult white for my least favorite, mainly due to his size. Compared to the others that are the same size as he is, he is just so tiny. The T-Rex from Fangs and the Orca from Rime are the same size, but when he is in the same category as the Purple worm and Sapphire Dragon he is just lacking to me.

Changed my vote from Black Dragon to Purple worm - only because the paint job is a little greyer on the Dragon than I would have preferred now that I got mine in hand, and the worm still hits on all cylinders.
Dragon is still a top notch mini though

The purp worm pops from across the room. Not unlike the beholder from Rage of Demons, it really brings life to the space it fills.
