There is no release date yet and i hope it is not too close too "PFB DEADLY FOES".
What is very interesting, is that the case incentive is called "adventurer's camp", which reminds me of "The Rusty Dragon Inn Bar incentive" and also brings tents and a campfire dressing to mind...
Thanks, Marco. Do you get all news of miniatures worldwide sent directly to your inbox? ;)

Sadly not. ;-)
I just look every day for news.
I discovered this on www.plasticrypt.com, one of the best minis sites.
I also check wizkids facebook page often and write them.
Kor already has this on his excellent www.minisgallery.com page.
Greetings from Germany
Well, it's appreciated anyhow. Cheers.
I wonder whether the rusty dragon inn "reprint" is actually just a restock. It seems like a break with how WizKids usually do things.

It is a reprint actually.
My local flagstore dealer told me of a reprint some months before and he is germanys largest game-store owner.
Also it says that Wizkids reprints Icons of the Realms 1 (which already arrived and was sold out before) and 3 & 4 in the next months.
These sets have been extremely popular and sold out almost everywhere very fast.
I think Wizkids received a lot of requests from retailers for more sets and it is only natural that they want to make more money.
Look at the speed of newly announced D&D sets:
-Monster Menagerie (Set 4) wasn't even out when the then untitled Set 5 (Storm King's Thunder) was announced.
-Now it is still 2 months till "SKT" releases and we already have set 6 announced - complete with title (MM2) and case incentive!
Also i am fairly certain that we now get huge minis from D&D after Pathfinder announced themand look at the Diorama incentives (Bar & Adventurers Camp) and the fall unpainted line (which includes uni-colored dressing pieces)!

The reason I'm (still) skeptical that it's a reprint is that I'd expect some kind of announcement from Wizkids to that effect. Also, my experience with FLGS owners is that they're often quite clueless (I had one tell me he couldn't order any of Wizkids minis because he didn't carry any D&D products so WotC wouldn't sell him the figures - that just has to be wrong!)
I'm happy to be wrong (glad to see the various mini lines are doing well) - but it seems odd to me that it would happen quietly (granted I don't get much Wizkids propaganda, so maybe I just missed the announcement.).
I would also assume a reprint would entail more risk than a new set, due to estimating print run sizes without the splash of a new release. If I were Wizkids I think I'd accelerate production of new sets rather than reprinting old sets.

It will not contain huge minis but small, medium and large ones.
I'm guessing the campsite will be popular.

That link says "collect all 54 miniatures" you think they're including all the dressing pieces in that count?

No, there are 27 oieces in the incentive.
It will be most likely 44 regular ones and 10 invisible variants.
The original facebook article from Wizkids says 44 minis.
Here´s the link:
http://wizkids.com/2016/11/30/wizkids-announces-dd-icons-of-the-realms-mons ter-menagerie-ii-coming-soon/
The original "Monster Menagerie" set had the same ratio.
Ah yeah. I forgot they like those invisible ones. Cheers.

Yeagh, they are mostly not worth it.
But it´s cheap to produce, as they are just unpainted versions.Here are the first two computer renders of a human Wizard and the Tiefling Warlock from the Neverwinter Twitter Account:

Both look great imo.

-a green-skinned ORC with big tusks & a big hammer
-a grey-skinned ORC with a top-knot & broadsword

If you don´t want to spoil yourself (Steve, i´m looking at you), i´ll just say that two of the three really look amazing. ;-)
Monster Menagerie II seems to be similar in quality to MM, which was the best quality set from D&D so far.
The paintjobs on that , while not yet on par with Pathfinder Battles, are really getting better.
Storm King´s Thunder was a step back in regards to paintjobs and number of minis, but that was due to inclusion of HUGE minis.

New preview pictures of 6 actual minis are up on the dnd homepage:
-Kobold (with mace)
-Kobold with sickle & helmet
-Bugbear (red and silver armor)
-Bugbear (black and gold armor with hood)
-Drow Elite Warrior (female with mancatcher)
-Elf fighter (with shield and hammer)
The Kobolds are the same sculpt, as are the Bugbears.
The Drow looks nice.

Until now i have nt seen anything cool like monster menagerie 1...i mean neither the paintjobs seem cool anymore..the elf fighter seems not that good..his face..face colour..his armor paints...only bullywug and the orcs seems quite decent.And one last thing...im full of agony because im waiting for another epic dwarf mini like larethar gulgrin from the 4th setIt's a little irregular.
Roughly every 2 days atm.
There are also 2 more pictures up on Wizkids twitter page now.
** spoiler omitted **
I agree that MM2 seems to stay behind MM so far. Out of the 23 previewed minis so far i like only 8:
-Iron Golem L
-Androsphinx L
-Orc 1 m
-Orc 2 m
-Human Wizard m
-Black Pudding L
-Drow Elite Warrior m
-Bullywug m

I ordered 2 bricks and the incentive, that should be enough.
MM had only 10 out of 44 regular minis (not counting the 10 invisibles) that i didn´t like (i already don´t like 9 from MM2).
Assuming that MM2 has the same distribution (which is pretty much given), we have now seen 52% (23 of 44) of the set.
There seems to be a preview every tuesday from Wizkids and every thursday from the Neverwinter twitter account plus irregulars.

I´m pretty sure (90%) the set will include one or two dwarf minis.
It has an elf & a human, so it will probably have a dwarf and halfling too.|
