I guess I just thought more GM's were like me and had some badass bosses on the way to a crazy deadly god like encounter with something like Ma'al.  Which funny enough was where a campaign I was running in MERP was heading before real life butted in.

 

We have plenty of bad broccoli bosses. Current campaign is Storm King's Thunder so lots of giants (no big demons yet that I'm aware of, I'm not the DM but seems unlikely there will be any). We did Curse of Strahd before this one though we never finished it (were there demons in that?) and we did some sprinkling of modern stuff with Savage Worlds. Before that my huz ran Rise of Tiamat at the store (no demons?) and another DM ran Against the Giants and Descent Into the Depths of Earth with our group at home. Maybe you ran Into the Abyss but for whatever reason we just never ran that one. So that's a lot of adventures we've been through and a lot of regular gaming with no big demons. Also, as I already mentioned, I already have the two guys! I'd rather be spending my money on figures for monsters I don't have (of which there are plenty) rather than "better" sculpts of existing figures. When I am buying "better" sculpts just to upgrade my collection you'll know that I've financially made it and can just afford to buy whatever minis I feel like all the time. That'll be the day.

 

Edited to add: Ha! the forum turned a-word into broccoli, hilarious 

Edited again: We also did Savage Tide but I don't think we finished it, looks like (spoilers:)

Spoiler

there might have been some use for some demon stuff later on

Build a sort of frame out of clear plastic rods; if the outer shell is clear, all you need to do is show the edges, right?

Actually, that might not be a bad idea to have some sort of photo booth at Reapercon where people can take pictures of themselves as a miniature in a blister pack. Money goes to charity, it's a win-win.

Agreed on the cute nicheness. However, looking forward to seeing what else Reaper comes up with. Mouslings are great. Really liking the High Rollers and Rocky as well.

 

A Mousling Pirate mini would be fantastic!

 

In case someone didn't link already, they made a special edition one a while ago (http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Special Edition Figures/sku-down/01520)

 

I got him off a 12 days of Reaper so keep your eyes peeled during events like that.

Great idea!   The neat thing with that, is they could use some photo software to actually shrink your image down so  your whole body fits in the blister.  (And folks like us at home who can't make it to Reapercon could send photos to have "blister-ized"! )

That would be the surprise.  Did not want to ruin it for you.  I know you have been asking for dinosaurs, reptiles and the like for your project.

Wonder how big he will be, like hero-ish/orc-ish/bugbear-ish size?

[Glitterwolf]

I hope he will not be alone!

Love it!

Probably not feasible, but it'd be even more awesome if the pictures were taken next to a giant Sir Forscale...or a person dressed as him. :)

Will the Saurials be in the Core Set or dare I hope for an expansion?

[Ratmaster2000]

well I am still not sold on the new demon:( MAYBE if I have ten bucks burning a hole in my pocket July 30,2018...MAYBE! Much too much other stuff I want (and in some cases 2 or 3 of the same, like wraiths). But I am glad others want it. Great when there's something for everybody.
