And a hairy beholder would just look silly.
#BEHOLDER 2 EMMAS KIDS SKIN#
To me, normal skin looks weird in an icy environment - generally I think of ice creatures as either being covered in fur or having thick scales. It's the only one of the four with the "armored" style skin, which isn't really my preference, but it suits this mini. (This box is much bolder than my older beholder holder.)Įye of Frost (repaint of Dungeon of Dread "Eye of Flame") I love the sculpt, and I think the paint job is pretty. It also includes a 4e stat card for each mini, and it all comes in a beautiful box. Each one is a repaint of an older Beholder mini. The set comes with four minis: Eye of Frost, Ghost Beholder, Eye of Shadow, and Eye Tyrant. Yeah, like "need" has ever been a factor in this collection. So this set brings my total Beholder count up to 6, which is probably more than I'll ever need. I already had two Beholder minis, the basic Beholder ( from the Deathknell line) and the Beholder Ultimate Tyrant (from Legendary Evils ). So even though it was hard to justify the price, I had to grab the Beholder Collector's Set before it disappears or skyrockets in price. But while the cartoon might not have been the scariest possible introduction to the creature, it still instantly became one of my favorite monsters. If I remember correctly, they defeated it by making it look at a flower (in other words, they showed "beauty to the eye of the beholder"). The first time I saw a beholder, it was in the cheesy 80s Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Whenever I would design a monster as a kid, I would always make sure to give it lots of eyes. I don't know what it is, but I just like them.

Now a Sidetrack: I have a thing for eyeballs. I will miss them, but I have a pretty good collection to keep me busy. But in my opinion, tokens just don't have the personality of miniatures. I think it would be great if all future modules came with a sheet of tokens representing all the monsters in that adventure. From now on, it looks like they'll be concentrating on tokens, and only producing minis for specific special sets. So I was very disappointed a couple of months ago, when WOTC announced they were ending their minis line. And I like the durability of plastic/rubber over metal I can throw a bunch in a bag and don't have to worry about them grinding into each other. I have no desire to start painting my own minis, so I have to pick up pre-painted stuff. It really is the fastest way to build your collection. I guess I just care more about quantity than quality. They're cheaply made and sometimes badly painted. I admit that WOTC's minis are the fast food of miniatures. I just enjoy collecting things, and taking pictures of my collection.

It's not like I'm showing off my creative paint jobs or anything. I'll admit it's a bit nuts to be so into it, since they're just WOTC's pre-painted stuff. A while back I made a mega-post showing off all my D&D miniatures, and a follow-up focusing on my Star Wars minis.
