tons of great huge minis have come out recently so this one was hard but I think these are my top 4
1. Nightwalker (D&D - Fangs & Talons)
2. tomb tapper (D&D - icewind dale rime of the frostmaiden)
3. flail snail (D&D - Fangs & Talons)
4. tie between young blue dragon (D&D - Fangs & Talons) and the froghemoth (D&D - waterdeep dungeon of the mad mage)
sadly buying thousands of miniatures wont make you popular in Highschool. (I checked)

That's an easy tie to break - Froghemoth was released in 2019 so it doesn't make the cut. (Sort of sad too, as I agree this was a great mini and deserving to be a best mini nomination).

This is tough. I think I have to say the Frost Giant Skeleton - Rime of the Frostmaiden. The detail is too good to not nominate.

I didn't manage to snag a Nightwalker, tomb tapper, or frosty skelly. So my nomination goes to a mini that I have managed to see in person, and which shocked me with its quality:

Dire Troll - D&D Fangs & Talons

The Chardalyn Dragon is too big for huge, but there is no category for larger than huge, so I nominate it here.
Also the Tyrannosaurus Rex from Fangs and Talons.

I second the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
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.
