That is one sweet mini! The sculpt is awesome, but that paint job just knocks my socks off! The paint job is also the reason I don't paint miniatures: I can't get them to look that good. Those veins took skill, shorty!
I read Dragnmoon's post on one of the other mini pages, and while I sympathize with his point of view and would also have preferred pre-painted minis, I'll be picking up every one of these beauties.
Dragnmoon, just do what I'm going to do: go to your FLGS (with Paizo minis in hand) and ask the regulars who the best painter in town is. If they disagree about who the best is, which I'm counting on, suggest a Paint Off. My awesome FLGS owner, Phil Thompson, actually hosts miniature painting nights at his shop, so I don't anticipate any problems getting my metal minis painted up all professional like.
Also, for those of us who can barely paint walls, there is a line of pre-painted minis by a company called Reaper that look fantastic. I'm pretty sure they're resin or some spaceage polymer, so the quality is very high too.
Looks very nice. Since I already have loads of character minis, minis of new monsters are much more useful to me. Looking forward to having this one in my hands.

being that Reaper is my favorite hobby company, their prepaints are plastic, similar to WOTC's brand, thou the paintjobs are 10X better. For the price thou, their prepaints can't be beat.
