Wish it didn't look so... "Comics"-like.

lol i like how amazon claims its only available in the US yet im pretty damn sure ive seen it offered on a few UK rpg sites recently so obviously they must have figured out some kind of deal amazon could'nt, i agree though its far to comicbookey for my tastes....if they did a Tarrasque in that scale however then i may be interested.

That's kinda fugly.... and for that price there are MUCH nicer big demon miniatures to be had.

i like it, but i'd never spend that kind of cash on a mini--especially one that i probably will never get to use (no group, etc.).  :idunno:

Sorry, I already have Cthulhu.

Having 2 oversided demonic overlord miniatures? That's just gay, so not for me. :P

Aesthetically speaking, that model does absolutely nothing for me.

Effin' saved!  I love that style.  Reminds me of the etchings in some printings of The Divine Comedy.

Btw, what book is that from?

Aaah. Gustave Doré's art. You and me both, Peregrin! I am a HUGE fan of those.

The piece comes from The Dragon (magazine). I think it's in one of the Best of the Dragon volumes (there are two). Can't remember which one right off the bat.

Yeah, that's the Orcus I remember - kinda round, complacent-looking. Clearly hasn't worked out in a few thousand years. Wimpy looking Rod - pfeh, we're supposed to be afraid of that? We can take him!

...

Yeah.

Also, I picked up a 4e Balor figure on eBay for about $20.00 that look a lot better than that... thing. Just sayin'.

Did I see $95?  It's alright but (other than the price), it just doesn't fill me with dread.

Well, the full image is a little weirder, due to a busty sacrifice lady.

That, and I like the more goat/ram demon look.  The new one just looks...like an unformed muzzle?  Idk.

Then again, I grew up here in NJ, so we're all about the classical goofy looking demons/devils since one supposedly makes a habitat of the Pine Barrens.

It looks nicer in person. The picture doesn't do it justice...
