Some people will enjoy the carrionettes, mylfself included.

Also looking forward for the animated breaths.

Happy to see the Flail Snail, I can skip a $40 single PPM.

Render pictures are up on ICv2 now. I’m sure the other lines with be up soon.

Per Icv2

WizKids revealed a new wave of Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures, which will be headed to retail in November 2023.

This new wave of miniatures feature characters, monsters, and scenery from the Critical Role universe. They have deep cuts for easier paint application and come primed and ready to paint. The miniatures also come in a clear and visible format, so that customers can see the miniatures before they buy.

The next wave is as follows:

Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Xhorhasian Mage & Xhorhasian Prowler (MSRP $4.99)
Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Percival & Cassandra de Rolo (MSRP $4.99)
Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Lucien Tavelle & Cree Deeproots (MSRP $4.99)
Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Naga Abomination (MSRP $8.99)
Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Halas Flesh Golem (MSRP $14.99)
Critical Role Unpainted Miniatures: Cobalt Golem (MSRP $14.99)

All these molded terrain under them just makes them even more unappealing to me.

That flesh golem is great, definitely the star of this lot for me. If I hadn’t been able to grab the Naga at a decent price that would have also been a great deal.

Fingers crossed the wood giant is a new pose, or better yet a new sculpt to go with the existing prepaint.

There’s actually quite a bit in these sets I’m excited about. Giant frogs, tlincalli, more draconians (Fizbans or Dragonlance style?), the animated breaths, more ettercaps, the magma scorpion, dogs, a new flail snail. There’s so much to love in this release!

I’m also super happy that after a bit of a lackluster start this year, WizKids decided to keep this line going.

[deadsmurf]

Nothing stands out initially as minis I am going to get - perhaps one or two of the PC options, if they fit specific collection gaps - but there's not many of them in this wave, so it feels unlikely.

But since I am not really painting a lot this year and my backlog is growing, that's not a bad thing. heh.

Pretty interesting, IMHO this is the first time a former promo was released in the mainline as unpainted, no?
At any rate, would still prefer the prepainted Carrionette. However, this set features a third, pumpkin-headed one too.

I am hoping we get the Animated Breaths in some future prepainted set. Interesting they made 2 that are not based on any official art, instead of Ice. I like how the Acid one looks like a giant Lizardman.

The Draconians and Flail Snail look exactly like the prepainted ones, same pose even.
The Ettercaps are amazing, as in, amazingly disgustingly detailed. They are truly horrifying.

the blurb from ICV2 about the Nolzur's ones.

WizKids unleashed a new wave of D&D Nolzer's Marvelous Miniatures monsters, which will hit retail in November 2023.

The new wave of miniatures features a variety of less commonly used monsters in encounters. These monster minis come primed and ready to paint. As with all D&D Nolzer's Marvelous Miniatures, the miniatures feature deep cuts for easier paint application and come in a clear plastic display.

This next wave of monster miniatures is as follows:

D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Intellect Devourers (MSRP $4.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Ettercaps (MSRP $4.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Carrionettes (MSRP $4.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Draconian Foot Soldier & Mage (MSRP $8.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Animated Acid Breath (MSRP $8.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Animated Fire Breath (MSRP $8.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Draegloth (MSRP $8.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Tlincalli (MSRP $8.99)
D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Flail Snail (MSRP $14.99)

I think the nolzur's are pretty good, I'll probably end up getting all of them from this wave.

One of my kids, having just watched Honor Among Thieves, told me they hope to never see "those brain devourer things" in our home campaign. Naturally, I now need to add a few more to my collection ahead of a suitable encounter (I think I currently have one each from Unhallowed and SKT, which are painfully different scales).

that multi-head Naga
Animated Acid Breath
And Flail snail are on my need list ... the best part of unpainted is getting to paint needed minis without dropping $30 CAN plus for a ppm

Win Win!

[Mattnuke]

Too bad the draconians are just the Fizban ones unpainted. The flailsnail also appears to be a direct copy.

I am happy for those who needed these guys though.

I’m surprised that no one commented on why the animated breaths look the way they do. The acid looks like a black dragon face manifesting out of it and the fire has the same with a red dragon head.

Funny you say that as the Fire one just looks like a elemental to me so really a missed opportunity there, that's a miss for me.
The acid actual looks like the old Magma Hurler but green goo... LOL This one I do like....
