I like it. The bright color makes for a great venomous snake or could be used for a fire-element snake. It fits well on its base. Fantasy snakes can come in all shapes and sizes, so it works just fine for a Medium-sized snake.
Ok, he's a little overly vibrant, and he looks a tad goofy, but the other prepainted plastic snakes out there are SOOO boring...! At least this little guy has some well-painted flare, even if it's garish.
I bought two of these miniatures to use in my Pathfinder game. The miniatures look pretty good, but the color is too much. They're nice looking, but nothing like the fiendish and Flame snakes that I got that belong to the D&D miniatures. All in all, they're not that bad looking.
In most things there is good and bad, and this snake is no exception.
Let's do the good first: the sculpt is terrific. It's detailed, the pose is dynamic, and the mouth is threatening. At its base, this is set up to be an excellent figure.
The bad: the paint job is wacky. The red is much too bright and undifferentiated, making it look like you're being attacked by a Twizzler. The pattern on the back isn't consistent, making it look like random squiggles rather than a diamondback or whatever they were shooting for. Perhaps the worst thing is that the paint job makes it look cheap, which is something that none of the other figures I've picked up from the set (with the possible exception of the half-elf cleric) does.
Note to Paizo: make a Twizzler monster for the next bestiary.
