Kamui K Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I know some ppl here were disapointed with the chainmail line. But there were a few gems that came out from it. And looking at their lists of up coming stuff before they were canned, it just ticks me off what Hasbro did. I actually liked chainmail's monsters and looking at this list, it's a tease, I know. But I can't help myself.upcoming chainmail release I was lookinf forward to their: displacer beast harpy Gray Elf War Wizard Centaur Sharpshooter Mind Flayer Death Knight Fearsome Ghost Pseudodragon Medusa *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe the Painter Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 As long as their displacer beast for chainmail is not the split-down-the middle kind that was the normal AD&D figs. NB, a lot of the Chainmail figs are seeing release as D&D figs now... Also, Reaper has a displacer beast coming out, saw it in the latest game catalog... They call it a "Phase Cat" though... :D -Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I liked & disliked the chainmail line myself, I did like some of the dwarves like the main cleric guy (except for the goofy tower) & the female fighter type, good agresion on that one. The gnolls were awesome figs as well, #### got enough gnolls now to use in a game if I wanted (well I still have to get the duo Gnolls from Reaper) but overall the series lacked, the humans couldn't decide if they were greeks or russian(basic sorc) or regular fantasy, not enough game type humans, one gnome in that game, but then again there only 1 gnome in Reaper's line buuuut he's AWESOME looking!!!. Overall I wish Hasbro wouldn't have canned it but now it leaves more $$$ for Reaper & my other gaming stuff!! Randy M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstormhammer Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Quick question: If Hasbro canned the line, then certinly some of these had to have been made before that fateful decision. So my question is: Anyone know where I can score some of these very limited minis? --lstormhammer, touched by an anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 There are still a ton of Chainmail minis at every LGS around me. If you have a WotC store around you they may still have a few left at a discount, but the LGS I've seen haven't dropped any prices... They have also repackaged some Chainmail minis under the D&D logo as boxed sets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalyn Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Well, I think that Reaper's going to take care of that displacer beast problem for you. I got a catalog (Game World?) with a recent order and they had some pictures of upcoming releases from Reaper. One of those was something called a Phase Cat, which the picture showed to be a panther-like beast with 4 tentacles coming out of it's back. Seems fairly evident what that's supposed to represent. They also had a pic of a killer frog, which should make Frosch happy. And it looks pretty cool, too. It's leaping with its mouth open and it's got these big, honkin' teeth. Or maybe it's supposed to be the hypnotoad AFTER it's hypnotized its victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalyn Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Whoops. Apparently, I can't read. Crusoe already mentioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Trapspringer Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Seems the molds were made for these figures but they were never put out. Which to me seems to very essence of the ignorance at WotC concerning the whole line. I've been told that almost all the money going into making the figure is casting it and once there everything is almost pure profit. Investing the money in making the molds and then killing the line sounds really well dumb to me. (throws up hands) Still you can find CM for 50% off or better these days. Even if you don't like the figures the parts are great for conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowling Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 The new Displacer Beast was released in the Kilsek boxed set. I bought eight boxes, just for the Beasts. And the sculpt was, again, more or less split down the middle. I'm looking forward to the Reaper version. The Green looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Hey Jim where did you see the green for the "displacer beast" from Reaper?? Randy M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlion Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I saw a picture in the "Previews" catalogue. It looks like a tiger with four (!) tentacles on its back. My 100th post, by the way! Yeeha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
