41 min..... and worth every second of it. I cannot praise this video enough. Being a magic the Gathering player as well as a D&D player I appreciate all the backstory and lore you include for each Mini as well as all the options and ideas you come up with for using them. I can also appreciate the lengths in which you go to to explain in great detail the level of importance many of these creatures have. Congratulations to the winner of your contest and great job on this video I give it two thumbs way, way up! I will also give it a share on social media.

Ok, so usually when I see your videos I take notes of my favourite ones and those I'm going to need. And omg when we got to the centaurs and satyrs I was excited cause I could now cover those races. But the Abhorrent Overlord took my breath away, the followed by Hythonia whose statblock and appearance I'm using for the ruler of one of my favourite nations of my homebrew world and omg the sculpts are amazing and I neeeeed that Hythonia sometime in the future. It's such and important character and I feel like the mini did it justice

That Anvilwrought raptor would also make a really cool familiar miniature for a warforged (if you wanted to flavour it as mechanical) but I think my favourite mini is that wicked looking basilisk

For me, my favourite miniature in the set is medusa, as I’m currently building an adventure around Greek methodology. I’ve already built a labyrinth system as well as a set of minotaur mini’s. Also, I think the status effect “petrified” where creatures are typically turned to stone is under-represented in miniature form.

My favorite from the set would be the Akron’s Hoplite-great paint job, looks like it’s thrusting forward like an action movie, and has a chic golden color. It’s also immediately recognizable as Greek or from Theros, so it’s very flexible in use! My (close) second favorite is the well-painted and also golden Emissary of Erebos. Unbeknownst to some, Greek myth is filled with serpents and dragons so it is also well-suited.

jeez, your videos are SO complete. It is everything a buyer could possibly hope for. all the infos are there. Thank you really, this is professional work. That would diserve official sponcorship from the companies you cover. If those videos were on the official d&d webpages they WOULD sell more of them. SO many questions a client asks himself before buying are answered here What does the paint job really look like up close ? What does those mini look like in a set ? What kind of stories can i tell with those kind of miniatures ? What is the inspiration/original artwork ? Are there other prints allready released of that miniature i'm seeing there but i'm not sure i like ? So many more i don't think about. I'm sorry i'm getting carried away xD I just want to salute the mindset you adopted when you processed and designed your concept. This is the way to make quality content.

Can't decide which I like more, the Abhorrent Overlord, the Chromanticore, or the Medusas. The sculpts on those were just amazing, though the Chromanticore might have a slight edge from wingspan alone, that guy was like, spilling off your turntable! Plus there's so many regular "soldier" minis you can use as guards or elite mercenaries. Also, gonna have to get two or three of those Alolan Basilisks, that mini was pretty mean-looking with a very well-done color scheme. Thanks for another great review video, Theo and Grady, we really do appreciate all the awesome work you put into them. Stay safe!

Great infodump in the opening, glad you tell this information on how rarity and bricks and cases work.

And with Rime of the Frostmaiden having also 9 Large/Huge Uncommons, I guess the 45 mini number instead of 44 is here to stay.
