The idea is great -- undead treant. The execution is horrible. First, it's cartoonish when it should be scary or unsettling. Second, it lacks detail, where there should be vines and roots and worms and dead leaves or bark, there is a smooth black plastic body. Third, it's look is so specific it doesn't make a good substitute for other monsters for which you lack a mini -- so it's re-usability and therefore cost effectiveness, is greatly reduced. Lastly, the paint job is too simplistic and doesn't help cover the other flaws. Unless you plan on having an undead treant show up in your game, there is no reason to get this mini when other, better looking minis, are available.
Let's assume for a moment that you don't find the idea of an undead treant to be intrinsically silly. That's an awfully big assumption, but let's assume that it's the case. Let's then assume that you're so accepting of the idea of an undead treant that you think that WotC should use on of it's Huge mini slots to provide a mini of said undead treant. Wouldn't you hope that the mini that they made RESEMBLED A TREE IN THE LEAST?
This is a nicemini, but waas less tree looking than I got from the picture. It kind of looks like something more fitting to ALIENS. Still a nice Huge mini. I may add some grey or green to the leaves to make it more tree-like.
