Case incentives you still want


Miniatures


What are gargantuan minis you guys think need to be made next?

My first picks would be bandersnatch and Yamasoth.

I'll have to think about this. But my big issue?

Less dragons.

I'd have to think about what I actually want (and maybe double check some size categories). :)

Silver Crusade Contributor

Alright, I found a few. :)

An actual linnorm would be cool (not a true dragon, doesn't count!). My favorite is the gare linnorm (from Jade Regent). Well... second favorite.

The neothelid is actually Gargantuan (wasn't sure), so I'd love to see one of those. It could double as a purple worm too (the old DDM one is the wrong size).

I wouldn't mind a roc. Again, it could pull double duty as a phoenix or thunderbird. Alternatively, a rukh (ideally based on the old Legacy of Fire art) would be cool.

An annihilator robot would admittedly be very useful for Iron Gods.

The one I want most, though, is unfortunately too big. Fafnheir, the Father of all Linnorms, has always been my number-one pick.

I would like some small terrain or scenery element, like an orc hut, a gypsy (Varisian) wagon, a sloop, a shrine, a fountain ...

Unfortunately, all of the Spawn are Colossal, and Colossal minis "aren't economically feasible". :(

Although I should start a thread for "Monsters you wish they'd bring back". The azi, the get of Iblis, and the ephialtes kyton all need a little more love.

While I agree I would love some of these, I don't know how well they would be received as case incentives. The gargantuan demon catches people's attention and generates excitement. I question that an orc hut or gypsy wagon would generate the same level of excitement for a case purchase.


I could see excitement of say a giant manned orc siege weapon, but yeah scenery is a no go.

I'm not too stressed about accuracy in that regard. I'd be happy with a gargantuan Xotani.


There are two gargantuans that I want to have from Savage Tide but due to them being owned by WotC and WotC's disinterest with anything from the later Dragons I doubt they will ever receive a mini. Specifically I'd like a mini for the verakia and Arendagrost. Failing that I'd really like Paizo to make a bit qlippoth dinosaur miniature. Make up some new sort of primordial dino qlippoth and give it a mini.

Agree that a nice big purple worm would be nice. It'd be fun to have its tail as a separate mini (putting them in different locations would create the illusion of length). People could repaint it brown/beige (or there could be an official repaint) to use it as a sand worm.

Baba Yaga's hut.

Silver Crusade Contributor

They actually wanted to do the Hut for RoW, but it was too complex to be cost-effective as a case incentive. There's a Paizo Blog about it, I believe. I'd find/link it, but I really have to go to sleep. :)

oh I know why we don't have it. But I still want it ;-)


The Jinushigami Kami would be the absolute best and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Spoiler:
This fight would probably involve name-calling and pouting.

A Giant Snapping Turtle would let us act out part of The Neverending Story, as well as acting as a base for a Discworld game.

I know other companies have made them but a Kraken wouldn't go amiss.

Clockwork Goliath would be pretty sweet.

I have to ask, why? I thought the number of Dragon case incentives was a bit much at 1st, but it has been every other set which seems reasonable.

H & M - Black Dragon (huge)
RoTR - Rune Giant
Shattered Star - Gargantuan Blue (Significant NPC for the path as well)
Skull & Shackles - Brine bones (Undead Dragon, not a typical dragon)
Legends of Golarion - Gargantuan Green
Wrath of the Ritgeous - Demon Lord Deskarii
Reign of Winter - Gargantuan White
Lost Coast - Shemhazian Demon
Dungeons Deep - Gargantuan Red

Apart from dragons though, there just aren't that many Gargantuan monsters that would generate enough demand / would not be exceptionally divisive (The Annihilator Robot comes to mind).

It bears mentioning that I come from D&D Minis, so I have the Gargantuan Blue and Black and Colossal Red from that line. (I skipped Icingdeath.) My "too many dragons" counts those, where others wouldn't.

I'm also biased in that I like Todd Lockwood's designs (for the 3e dragons) better than Paizo's for the most part. (The black dragon being the main exception.)

And of course, I'm still buying the Pathfinder Battles minis anyway - it's kind of a "not bad, could be better" thing.

Does that make sense? ^_^

I still want the gargantuan black dragon. Then I'd have to go neothellid, linnorm, shoggoth, elementals. I'd also be happy with getting a few colossal minis disguised as gargantuans, like Mr Geddes above once I get to that end of the size spectrum it wouldn't bother me too much. In much the same way some of the tiny and diministive minis come disguised as small.

Todd Lockwood is what I miss most about 3.5. Well that and martial initiators being first party.


Agreed on the gargantuan black dragon. Please Paizo, finish the chromatic family of gargantuan minis. I also think a neothellid and linnorm would be awesome.

It does make sense, and if you include the DDM Icons line, then yes, the Dragon percentages get skewed up towards the high end (out of 5 releases in the Icons series, 4 were dragons. I too liked Todd Lockwood's dragons (except for the green one, what was he thinking), But I also like Paizo's dragons. If anything though, I would like MORE Dragons as the case incentives, but more DIVERSITY of dragons. Pathfinder has Metallic Dragons, Primal Dragons, Imperial Dragons, Outer Dragons, Linnorms; None of which have they touched upon (And yes, I am aware of the 2 Gargantuan Metallics that have been produced for D&D Mini's Dragon Wing Game, but it's just not the same). I'd quite honestly like as a case incentive a Two Pack of Huge Elementals for a couple of sets. People have been agitating for Huge Elementals that match up with Paizo / Wizkids' Small, Medium, & Large versions, but so far, they seem to be a no-go. I'd also like an Annihilator Robot case incentive (although in that case I know I am in the distinct minority)

A Neothelid would be cool
A proper Purple Worm would be nice
A Bandersnatch (possibly frumious variant)
A Jabberwock

Or as slightly Over-sized Gargantuans:
Titans
Kaiju
Great Old Ones

I really hope they are able to move past that restriction, eventually. I know with myself, I would be willing to spend the extra money to support colossal minis.

As for the thread topic, where there are still a lot of options for dragons, I would also like to see something else, at least for a few sets.

I can’t think of any specific gargantuan creatures off the top of my head, but I am pretty open besides seeing another dragon right now.

Silver Crusade Contributor

It really does seem like Dungeons Deep would have been the perfect set for a neothelid. ^_^

I am also tapped out on dragons (don't tell my wife) but understand others don't have the older figures that I do. I'd love to see a T-rex now that PF upped them from Huge, but I imagine that isn't a huge priority for most customers.


I'll have to echo the call for a linnorm, despite Pathfinder going with the legged version of them.

I imagine this will always be a line they have to try and straddle. On one side you have the older collector who has lots of figures from ages of collecting and the other you have the newer people who don't own a lot and don't even have a chance to own some figures because they are so rare/costly. You need to do some of the core miniatures even though you know a part of your fan base has lots of them already.

Honestly I'm just happy they threw down the shemazian. It'll be awhile before I'm complaining about case incentives not fulfilling my needs.

You guys are going to be shocked about the next case incentive.

Gargantuan Black Dragon confirmed. ^_^


I'd prefer to think of it as confirmation of some type of construct. I'd be good with an Annihilator Robot, Clockwork Goliath, Juggernaut Robot or Quantium Golem.

=P

Spoiler:
Jinushigami is still the best though. T__T

So where did you get a Tarrasque from? Was it pre-painted?

Reaper Bones, so unpainted.

I don't believe I got one of those - I piggybacked off a friend's Kickstarter for the first one. How is it?

I honestly haven't pulled any of them out of the box. I'm not a mini painter, so I have to get with a local friend about getting it painted.

Yes, Varian and Radovan and other Pathfinder Tales characters could (and should) take the place of the iconics!


I'd like to add Hell and Abaddon Gigases to my list. or is it gigi? Either way the big guys reintroduced in Giantslayer.

Yes, the Rusty Dragon Bar Mini was a shock at first.

But by now i have warmed to the idea.
Could you post an actual picture before the Diamond Previews order for it is due?
I would like to see it so i can decide if i order two bricks or a case and the bar. ;-)

I imagine the case incentive after it will be a Gargantuan Black Dragon and the one after that depends on the sales of the Bar mini.

Thank you for all the great minis you have brought into my and other hands, they have inspired a lot of people to play Pathfinder and i hope you will continue doing that for a long time.

Could you share with us which Gargantuan mini has sold best?

When i look at the amazon.com data it is:
-the Gargantuan Red Dragon on rank #26 in toys and games
followed by:
-Deskari on rank #122 in toys and games
followed by:
-the Gargantuan White Dragon on rank #217 in toys and games.

These are pretty good ranks.

The Shemhazian Demon is the one that sold the fewest copies
(rank #64892 in toys and games).

-Huge Black Dragon #33101 (sold out on paizo.com)
-Rune Giant rank #39844
-Gargantuan Blue Dragon rank #11407
-Gargantuan Skeletal Dragon rank #30282
-Gargantuan Green Dragon rank #17992

I realize this is not representable but find it very interesting.

I hope the Bar sells a lot of copies.

The Case incentive i would wish for most is:

A drow noble house!

But i realize this will never be made so i would settle for a gargantuan ship mini with one pull-out pole with sail and a large or medium hole in the middle of the deck to simulate the access to the underdeck.

A 4x4 square tower 6 squares high with a door at the base and a crenellation on top would be cool as would be a wall 6 squares long, 3 squares high and 1 square deep.
These are actually minis that could be bought a few times to construct a city wall.


A proper ship would be amazing, I'd try to get two or three of those.

In terms of big monsters though, I'd love to see gargantuan elementals. I'd also approve of more giants.
