Wow, that looks awesome... but the $30 price tag seems awfully steep. The gigantic dragons that Wizard released a few years back (Colossal?) only came in at about $28 to $35 dollars at my local Hobby store, and I can think of many campaigns where I can use a big ole dragon. Gelatinous Cube, though a classic iconic monster from early D&D, seems to be a one-shot wonder. I mean, your players are not likely to come up against GC's in any real quantity, right? The whole fear factor for this particular predator is that one first encounter with them. After that, not so much. Anyway, just my opinion of course, but I think $30 for a 2" miniature that will likely only be used once is quite a bit too much to ask.

Otherworld Miniatures sell a variety of Gelatinous Cubes.
None of them are cheap though; the cheapest is $20.

If you look at the price point of that colossal dragon now its going for !50 to $200 range where you can get it. Plus the new Balrog type thing they just released is $80 range.
Plus translucent resin isn't cheap now days.
Personally I got my GC from otherworld but think the price is even more from them.
As I pointed out to Dragonmoon in another thread prices have gone up a lot just in the last couple of years even.
