Love this set for one mini and that's Dragonbait a character I loved since reading Azure Bonds many years ago. I was Happy he got a Mini. Thanks for another great review.
WAIT, MINSC and Boo are in this set? I have to have them!
" Jump on my sword while you can evil, I won't be as gentle'
' Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the Eyes'!
BG 2 has always been my favorite game!
Your videos are fantastic. And the production value is top notch. I look forward to seeing your channel grow. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for the kind words and support! We appreciate you watching and hope to keep producing helpful videos for a long time to come!
I‘m running the ToA Campaign once a month since a year. I bought one brick and a lot of singles. I really like the minis. The Chult zombies are quite versatile for different situations.
Out of all the Icons of the Realms sets, which ones would you say are your favorite? I like the aesthetic of Avernus, even if being pointy makes them fragile.
Speaking only as Grady, I have to say that from a purely aesthetic perspective the newer sets just keep looking better and better. I have personal attachments to the Magic setting and Avernus though, so my personal fave sets are Ravnica and Avernus. Also as a fan of Greek mythology, I'm beside myself imagining what the Theros set is going to look like and it's probably going be my undisputed top set when it comes out. -Grady
Maybe it's because I'm playing Storm King's Thunder, but, man, does the Monster Menagerie 3 set have some fun and impressive minis in it! I'm partial to the huge minis, and that set hit the mark. -Theo
Little note, Chult isn't an island anymore. Chult broke off from the mainland during the spellplague, and reunited during the sundering. It's currently a peninsula
D'oh! You're of course correct. It's just always an island in my mind for some reason! -Theo
Btw, easy mod to do with the 17 Aldani - just use a scalpel to separate the claws at the tip, then you can bend the trident so they are actually holding it inside the claw! Looks much better.
Oh boy! Dragonbait! I remember playing one of the first D&D video game "Curse of the Azure Bonds" where you met Dragonbait and his companion Alias. I still have my original copies of the Finder's Trilogy novels where he first appeared. They are still my favorite D&D novels to this day. And OMG! Minsc & Boo!!! "Butt-kicking for Goodness!" They were the real stars of the whole Baldur's Gate video game series. I hope the also make minis for Dragonbait's companions in the near future: Alias and Olive Rustkettle, and maybe Giogi Wyvernspur. And Minsc need his friends too! Lets have minis of Imoen, Viconia, Edwin, Jan Jansen, Yoshimo, etc... Ir would be nice to have a special set for all these great characters.
Azure Bonds is the first Forgotten Realms novel I read.
What I don't understand is why they brought Dragonbait into 5e and not Alias.
@@nerdicwarrior Right? Exactly what I thought! Plus, it would have make more sense producing an Alias miniature first because the figure would be more generic and could be used by players for any female swordsman, fighter, barbarian, paladin, or even a rogue!
I loved the opening line for the Firenewt!
I'm a bit upset that they chose to exclude the Tombguardians and Tombdwarves. I mean, those are very specific to this module and should have been included. But I still got everything from this set and ordered the others from a friend who owns a 3d printer, but this really seems like an extreme oversight. Also, no Withers? Really? No Sewn Sisters? I think they should revisit this like Curse of Strahd and make a few "denizens of chult" boxes with all the missed NPCs like one for the merchant princes, one for the villains, one for special monsters and maybe a last one for guides.
good to see the distribution, might want to run this campaign but I was concerned that I might get 20 skeletons when I already have 13 from other sets
The Stone Juggernaut is such a classic one! Hahahaha I love it
Can't wait to use it! -Theo
Just a bit of a botanical correction - the Mantrap is more based on a relatively obscure carnivorous plant, the Butterwort (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinguicula). Their leaves have sticky nodules and they attract insects by scent, and roll up the leaves slowly to digest prey. But we do have a more Venus Flytrap like mini in Savage Encounters.
Some nice minis there
Good stuff
Thank you! -Theo
Vegepygmys first appeared in the "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" dungeon module
I really need the acerak mini
I'm so happy I got the juggernaut, great video btw.
Awesome! That's a great one! Thank you! -Theo
very good video like always
Thank you! -Theo
The actually were yuan-ti in storm kings thunder, in imiryths layer
I wonder what kind of videos do you and Grady like watching the most? I'm sure we all would be interested in what D&D content you guys watch if any as well as other stuff.
I think its great especially Acererak
Some of my Tomb of Annihilation minis have the white printed labels under the base, but others have embossed labels. I wonder if yours are all the same or if you have a mix as well.
Ours are all white printed labels which I think is what they did on reprint. We got our case early 2019 after a long period of the set being out of stock. -Grady
I could homebrew the dragonbait. It would be a good detector for combat
Do the su monsters no longer throw retch fruit? ........ Man I really need to get up to date and give up the old 2nd ed AD&D monster manual LOL .
This is a pretty great set, love the red caps, gobs, orcs, and the werebears are extremely awesome! Some of the jungle type creatures won't be much use for me but they are always great to have .
My brother played a dwarf werebadger who he modelled off of Azrael the senescail of lord Soth and later the darklord of Sithicus.
The firenewts look inappropriate lol
I have not encountered any of these Minis
Huh, I could have sword you were already doing reviews when this set came out, but I guess not! Btw, if you checked Kor's interview with Wizkids on Minisgallery, they said they will re-print every Icons set save Ravnica this year. :)
I love this set, has tons of cool and interesting monsters and useful NPC models too. The Juggernaut Golem was something I wanted for ages. One odd thing was how the adventure is full of Grungs yet we got none - took until MM3 to get them. The Zorbo and Su-Monster however were some really obscure and silly monsters I never expected to see again, as was the Kamadan. Or the Aldani, aka Crabmen and Firenewts!
Acererak is easily the best Lich mini IMHO, love his many layers of flowing capes. Would be cool if they made a Sphere of Annihilation for him too, someday.
The Draegloth is also the best of the 3 we have, and while we have tons of Mariliths now, I like this more yellow-skinned design. And we had to literally wait decades for Dao to finally get prepainted minis - all the other genies got them, just not them. Though the thing that made me the happiest in this set were Modrons. For decades people considered them a bad joke, but I loved their concept, especially thanks to Planescape Torment and Nordom, a playeable NPC (who is kinda like Data on Star Trek). 5E brought them back and now we are close to having minis for almost all of them.
Hi BB! We started doing videos with MM3 though we didn’t start getting full cases until Dragon Heist. We did watch the interview and are sorry we missed it live (thought it was Friday). We are putting together a video highlighting the major announcements from it. -Grady
@@TheGallantGoblin Cool! Thanks, that will be useful, making it known to more people as I think more people watch your videos than visit the forums. :) I forgot you only started at MM3. Seems like so long ago! Congrats on completing all the Icons.
I have a question the final one you show is numbered 44/45....so what is the 45th one in the group?
In the older Icons of the Realms sets, the number 45 (and sometimes higher) is reserved for companion products that are considered part of the set but not actually sold with it. In this case, the Tomb and Traps set that released with Tomb of Annihilations is number 45. Starting with I think Volo’s and Mordenkainen’s Foes, they stopped doing that and actually give the correct total numbering for the boosters.
Tomb and Traps is this set: ua-cam.com/video/BBOhtWfjh4o/v-deo.html
Great vid! When is the rest of the shattered star review going to happen?
Those scripts take me a good bit longer to put together, but I'm plugging away at it. It's going to be a bit of an interesting one because we filmed half of the video more than a year ago and just never got a chance to finish it. >.< -Theo
The Gallant Goblin ok thanks for responding keep up the great videos!
I got two boxes of these, I didn't get really great stuff but I would get more...but alas money is a thing 😢
Aww. Luckily this set is still pretty easy to get ahold of, so you can pick up more when the time is right! -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin Even the lesser minis are great just not personal check list worthy 👍 dont get it wrong 100% recommend
Hold on what was 45 and I like this still waiting on the Tomb of annihilation book but after this damb plague we’re gonna play through it
In most of the older sets, they reserve the highest numbers (usually #45) for the case incentive, which was a separate product you could only buy if you bought a full case of 32 booster boxes. For Tomb of Annihilation, the case incentive was the Tomb and Traps premium set, which we review separately at ua-cam.com/video/BBOhtWfjh4o/v-deo.html since it is a different product. Our captions show what WizKids writes on the base, and I guess the idea is to make you feel like your collection isn’t complete without the incentive, but there’s definitely no #45 figure that you could pull out of a booster box. Note that WizKids has changed the practice somewhat-they’ve rebranded the case incentive as a premium figure or premium set and you can now buy it on its own without buying a single booster box. The products are still linked though in the sense that they’re released at the same time and in the latest Theros set for example, it looks like Polukranos the Hydra is still going to be #45 in the set. In cases where it’s a premium set of multiple things, like the Elder Brain that came out with Volo’s and Mordenkainen’s Foes, they don’t assign the set a number at all and the minis in the boosters are properly labeled x/44. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you still have questions after all that! -Grady
Thanks I get it now but could you help me possibly find an atropal mini for less then £28 preferably for the end of the adventure if you could just give me a link that would be legendary thanks
If you have access to a 3D printer, this is an option. www.shapeways.com/product/DHT9W2JAF/atropal
There is not, to my knowledge, an officially licensed mini of that creature. -Grady
www.etsy.com/uk/listing/732040034/atropal-for-dungeons-and-dragons?gpla=1&gao=1&&gclid=CjwKCAjwmMX4BRAAEiwA-zM4JqZkjeg4jzYbnCqhKbHnqAYSSy50VYz_D-9Wn0btS_22t2pb3o2_dRoCQ20QAvD_BwE This is the only thing I found for one but I don’t have access to a 3D printer
Yeah, I believe that’s a crafter making these independently, hence the more expensive price.
Would you ever do a giveaway big fan keep doing what you do
We have done giveaways in the past. We’ll be launching our next giveaway for the release of Pathfinder Battles: City of Lost Omens coming in late June. -Grady
Oh wow I didnt expect a yes
I recently bought a waterdeep dragon heist booster thanks to your video and it was totally worth
Dragon bate rage the small of blood
If ham causes anxiety, would bacon cause dread?
Oof, the smell of bacon would not cause dread in me right now, I can tell you that. -Theo
repay your murder-hobos with MurderGnomes... ;)
Best pack in my opinion....sidekick named 'weed'
As a model painter, it kills me when I see how bad these guys look. Some of the sculpts look great, but the paint job just kills it. I wish they sold an unpainted premium version.
You can buy the ToA board game with most of these minis unpainted. I believe the plastic quality is worse, but the minis are significantly cheaper per mini.
Fire Newts = jerks! That’s the scientific terminology!
302nd to view.
The piant jobs look like they put it on with their fingers. The sculps look like those coboys and indians plastic toys. Terrible just terrible.
Why are people paying so much money for something that horrible. Peoples standards in d&d are too low.
The Zorbo mini has to be the WORST mini of all time. Good grief.
