I feel a bit better now. There are at least 2 people on here that got more than me.

Can anyone with the Dreadmere expansion show off some of those glorious undead, like the big flabby thing with the enormous mouth or the zombie monk?

Apologies for the quality of the iPod photos.

 

I included the rowboat as I was planning on posting a pic of it anyway. It was much smaller than I had expected.

Question for those of you who received the Lost Valley expansion.

 

What do the tusks of your large elephant man look like?

Mine looks like one may be mispositioned.

Is this what yours looks like?

 

Here's a picture of mine, for reference:

 

 

Looks like yours is wonky. In fact, it looks like the left tusk (his side, not yours) isn't even the correct one for that side.

I Can Tuesday night or Wednesday (I plan on livestreaming my unboxing, probably the morning after I get it on tuesday)., unless you get yours first:)

I'm supposed to be getting mine tomorrow evening, though I probably won't be sorting through it until Tuesday, but sharing pictures for folks isn't exactly going to hurt.

Well Carp. That’s no good. I’m going to have to have a sit and think on this.

Thanks for posting your pic.

They should be able to send you a replacement.

Mr. Mouse thinks l should take pictures as part of inventorying the minis. l don't think he realizes how many minis there'll be. 545 minis is a lot of pictures

Cool, thanks. Quality of photos isn't much to worry about at this point.

How'd the lady with the hand crossbow turn out? I'm concerned that Bones will be really hard to capture that lady and her weapons...

That is indeed quite a few mini's. Hmm, so I guess my 35.8lb $910 (that doesn't include shipping) order is not that unusual:) 

 

So, I feel a lot of the issues we and reaper are encountering are due to the China manufacturer making certain assumptions on how things should have been done, if reaper knew beforehand things may have been better. 

I also think it's funny how some models we thought would be bigger (hut in lost valley, boat in dreadmere) aren't, and things that looked smaller are actually quite huge (Mumlak, the snake). In the end though, it all looks good.

So - I've never done an unboxing video before. With so many people asking for them on here and on Facebook, I'm debating doing one. Would people here want to see that?

Nice! Was that a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference? 

 

Indeed it is  I have a couple more but they require it to be Thursday for them to amuse me.

 

And some for Tuesday, the likely delivery day if Thursday is indeed the label day.

 

I came prepared

I think all the human sized figures show improved detail in Bones Black, although the translucency of the lighter grey doesn’t show the minis off to their best advantage in photos.

I'm seeing various YouTube videos, so maybe find a way to compliment them, rather than overlap. Maybe start with the add-ons first?

 

Personally, I get more out of text reviews, since I can more easily skim and reference the material. 

 

You may also want to discuss how well Bones Black is for specific models (eg. is it better than original Bones for human-sized figures).
