The new albino troglodyte is a beautiful miniature.

[@jndenton010]

Really like the Gibbering Mouther

[@blorptube]

I think I have to vote for the Otyugh. Probably because I have similar eating habits.

[@thelousygitarist6830]

I think that this one is the first set that it's worth the money, unless you only get Grick alpas and Gemmules then it sucks, love the mini bosses and the Ettin

[@benyblancofrbx]

Ettin Ceremorph was the one the caught my 💕

[@leslievenlet8040]

love the blue slaad, definitely my favorite

[@HugoGlz56]

I went OOoooh! when that Blue Slaad came into the screen, and then seeing it against the others creatures, It was my favorite mini from this pool, unexpectally.

[@vinniefinnagan]

The Blue Slaad looks fantastic!

[@michaelsaubert9022]

I love finally seeing a dedicated mini for Nezznar. I always get tickled thinking about him being magic brian in the first arc of the adventure zone!

[@stanisawankowski8243]

My favourites are the Blue Slad, and the Mindflayer NPC. The paintjob on both of them is so clean, and their poses are full of character. The slad is imposing and chonky, truly a miniboss worthy mini. The Mindflayer is just so, so new. Most ilithids we're getting are very samey, so a one that has tendril for arms and chains on his robes just looks so fresh!

[@jakemm984]

The Ettin Ceremorph was my favorite! Lots of character in the model!

[@judemapp8804]

Honestly my favourite mini in this reveal is the Stirge. We haven’t had one in at least 5 years but they occur in many campaigns/scenarios.

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Bold choice! 🦟

[@commanderbbshockwave8698]

Yeah there was one in MM3 but more realistic and tiny. Paizo did one too last year in Mwangi, goes by Bloodbug. They always fetch high prices, people need a lot of Stirges!

[@thattacocat4131]

My fav was def the blue slaad. Slaad are some of my favorite dnd enemies and i think they are super under appreciated.

[@tweaver96]

I love that shambling mound! I"m running a COS campaign and it'd be great for the death house encounter

[@Saintpanda26]

my favorite is that shambling mound- terrifying with awesome colors and art!

[@ryanangel8197]

I love the immensity of the shambling mound. Such a useful mini as well

[@robcharette1915]

It was a tough choice but the Shambling Mound beat out the Ettin . I hope u enjoy your time off. Its been great watching the channels growth Keep up the good work !

[@evanmurphreegamble575]

My favorite in the set is the shambling mound. Love the bright green!

[@benjaminyap1187]

I LOVE that shambling mound! I need it for an adventure where a gluttonous noble wants an exotic salad! 🥗

[@gravemistake2688]

My favorite was the Blue Slaad . Sculpt was great ,and the paint job was pretty good as well .

[@Nerfus91]

The Blue Slaad took the cake for me! The colors and simplicity make it the most eye appealing!

[@adamj.mc.3078]

The blue slaad took this set for me, absolutely stunning colour and sculpt choices all around.

[@derrellbartlett954]

The Blue Slaad and both Drow are my favs so far because you can use them in so many adventures! Great video! Thanks!

[@vinniefinnagan]

I LOVE this entire set! I will say that if I had to pick just one, it’s Nezznar, the Black Spider. I love the Lost Mines of Phandelver and had to create my own Nezznar mini. Now that I own the module and plan to run it (after I get the minis), Nezznar is definitely on my list. I love the sleek design and his spider staff are excellent. His pose is fantastic as well. Other faves are the goblins, love the designs, especially the Psionic Goblins. The mindflayers from this set look fantastic as well.

[@The-0ni]

The Cloaker Mutate is my favorite! Something about how its face has fused with this dwarf skeleton and its tongue is hanging out makes this look sick!

[@brianrodriguez2749]

I just love the blue on the Blue Slaad. it was painted so well and it looks so eye catching

[@iampetewyse]

Oh man, that Shambling Mound is amazing!!

[@rsienicki]

I don't know how anyone could pick other mini than Ettin Ceremorph. Absolutely stunning monster, from the design, trough colour and the potential of the destruction. Still haven't got into the "Shattered Obelisk" book, but I plan to use it for the next adventure of my players :)

[@Ulrican414]

My favorite is the Otyugh mutate. I love the painted transparent look.

[@spacebb]

I like how colorful the monster in this set are

[@YugiohPatternDuelist]

As the Phandelver was my first delve into DMing, I have a special place in my heart for the Drow and the Black Spider, and those minis are great for them!

[@robkendt]

My favorite, by far, is the ettin ceremorph because it’s such a cool concept that works very well as a mini. I tend to love the clean miniatures with simplistic painting as they feel so great to look at and use. The pose also conveys so much emotion and it’s one of the best miniatures I’ve seen.

[@thenameiskail]

I like the shambling mound! I love neons and it really caught my attention :)

[@gnollnonsense]

The Blue Slaad is definitely my favorite! It looks great

[@billygilmore6515]

I am so excited to be able to finally get some stirges for my games, they are so hard to get right now.

[@TonyRobetson]

i love the ceremorph ettit! love that they keep doing different creatures. i still want the dragon one. thanks for another great review

[@edwardleonard7545]

Loving the crystal grick and otyugh, I am a sucker for the transparent combinations.

[@scythe0925]

My favorite is the flameskull! Not only a monster, but could be a thematic spell effect or trap!

[@ohiosa1]

I love that Otyugh Mutate and Cloaker Mutate. Thanks for sharing these with us, cannot wait for them to be released. Getting ready to run this campaign early next year with my group

[@royshark4311]

I really dig that ceremorphisis ettin, really like how one head took over and the other was just pushed aside. Gives it some interesting visual cues.

[@carpenoctemprods]

At first I was going to say the Blue Slaad (looked absolutely gorgeous when it came on screen), but then you got to the Crystal Grick and I found myself saying out loud "Look at me, Morty! I'M CRYSTAL GRICK!!!" and then started laughing way too hard at my own joke XD

[@grimebear]

Shambling mound is my favorite! Super Swamp Thing vibes :D

[@vinniefinnagan]

I love the fact they added in the Stirges and the Flameskull. Two minis that, prior to this weren’t easy to come by.

[@shcon]

The shambling mound was so cool, and I love the action shots... like the Drow with the flowing cape.

[@chudmaverick6256]

My favorite mini you pulled was the Blue Slaad. Crisp features and the claws looks awesome. Also, Seasons greetings!

[@vinoup1]

My favorite new mini is the ettin ceramorph. I like having other mindflayer inspired creatures. The blue salad is also amazing.

[@eriklindstrom6629]

Lots of great minis here, hard to pick a favorite! I think to pick one I'll have to say the grick alpha! It is a simple design but I really like it, especially that it's a larger one. The shambling mound, blue slaad, ettin ceramorph and troglodyte were all close contenders for my favorite of the minis here, Happy holidays!

[@aaronmitchell6837]

Yeah, that blue slaad is fantastic.

[@purplexus]

I think Hashutu is my favorite, though it’s a tough choice. I love underdark, aberration, and plant creatures, so this entire set is awesome! But im going with Hashutu since I’ve recently been really into cosmic/lovecraftian horror stuff. But the gibbering mouther and slaad are close behind.

[@WelshDM]

Shambling mound is my fav , nice video as always

[@TheLittlehopeful]

I really like the Crystal Grick and the Hashutu mindflayer mini. I love translucent minis and Hashutu is just a cool looking mindflayer. Thank you for another great year of videos!

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thank you kindly!

[@keithmartin7743]

The Blue Slaad was awesome. I loved the pose and the blades coming from hands and elbows were sick!

[@dungeonscronics3191]

I love them all but the Shambling moud is my favorite love the paint job

[@sammars]

Honestly it’s the Goblin brawler. I’m usually a sucker for the big named villain minis so I stoked for the mind flayer 3 (and Nezznar for the deep nostalgia). But that brawler has just so much personality with such a simple concept. When I first saw it, I got a half dozen NPC and player ideas. It’s definitely personal - I’m a big gobby guy - but I feel like that dude might be on my table forever. Runner up is the pile of eggs, that’s incredibly upsetting looking!

[@chadv5789]

I've played many adventures but never Phandelver. I really liked the Encephalon Cluster and the Ettin Ceremorph -- can't go wrong with a beefy mind flayer after all. :) Another fun unboxing!!!

[@SandboxJJ]

I really like the Psionic Goblins, they add extra minis for more varied little goblin enemies even if I don't plan on running the adventure right away

[@jasonsolomon1797]

Of all the booster boxes I've collected in the past years, I believe this is the most versatile one I've seen and can't wait to purchase multiple times. I love the large miniatures especially the blue slaad and the shambling mound, but you can never have enough zombies in any campaign. I've used the D&D yellowish goblins as more of the underground goblins and the greenish skinned goblins as the surface/city goblins. I believe the best miniaures from this set are the Drow miniatures, yet if you have to choose from this set, I'd say it would be the versatile zombie miniatures in which you could use in many campaigns. ether way any of these miniatures could be used in almost any game. I love this set.

[@BigBaldandBeardiful]

I would love any of the Psionic Goblins! I love collecting goblin minis so getting these new, unique goblins would be amazing!!

[@thecoat7657]

Favorite Mini was the Blue Slaad. First time seeing one but it looks really good.

[@nemesiumsensei664]

The "Drow" is my favorite maybe because I'm just reading "The legend of Drizzt"

[@rekrapin24]

My favorite is that shambling mound I like that it isn't embedded into the ground and looks like it drags itself to move and it's bright colors are great if you get a few you can repaint one or two with ease to make different ones for every season.

[@kingdestroyah3204]

I don't own the Phandelver & Below book, but I gotta say this set has so many minis that are so useful for any type of campaign, and quite a few first time monsters in mini form or monsters that are available in a more common form. Out of all the minis here, I have to say the giant spider is my favorite miniature since it is the most accurate to the book art and looks so detailed. I hope I win this giveaway, its my birthday soon, so it would be a cool random extra present.

[@valteren]

I really like the Psionic Goblins the translucent green really makes them stand out and the minis could also work for monk and warlock PCs. I'm running a massive 13-player all-goblin campaign event next month so any unique gobs are welcome edtions.

[@RovingBiologist]

That blue slaad miniature is definitely my favorite. its such a classic monster with a creepy reproductive method. The color and sheer imposing physical build of that new miniature is perfect.

[@beetleguy9446]

My favorite mini has to be the Troglodyte. I've been waiting for a mini that looks like the 5E art for nearly 6 years now, and I'm ecstatic that we're finally getting one!

[@moneypenny1313]

I’m about ready to run this campaign with a local group. I’m so excited for this set of miniatures. Thanks for unboxing it and showing all the goodies. Always love your unboxing videos! 😊 Really love the cloaker, blue slaad, and shambling mound. The troglodyte is sort of cool too.

[@TheSpaceKiwi]

Wow, it took nearly a decade but we finally got a Nezznar mini!

[@domip3318]

The 2 drows, but Im going to pick the dual wielding warrior/rogue as my fave. He'd need some extra paint and some washes here and there to make him really pop. The sculpt is very cool.

[@davisthedavis]

My favorite was the blue slaad!! I love the slaad line I need the rest of them

[@mr.adamski6431]

Loving the Cloaker Mutate!

[@ataebli]

Love the mindflayer! Still have to get my hands on one of those minis

[@DavidFanska]

Love the shambling mound. Bright colors and terrifying tendrils.

[@kailebdv]

I love a lot of these minis but my favorite has to go to the Ettin Ceremorph! I was sad he didnt make an appearance in the bigbys set but glad he still got released!

[@ramirochavez7135]

I got to say it’s the Drow! Something about how cool they are is well represented in the minis we got

[@htapocysp1]

The slaad was cool but I'm gonna go with the Shambling mound gets it for me. I love the vibrant color!

[@jillsanders1924]

I liked the flameskull. Good paint job.

[@jimmcallister8495]

The blue spade is an amazing looking mini, I definitely would love to get that one! The shambling mound is also another great looking mini too. I am writing up a campaign based on a town surrounded by swamps, and both of these miniatures would work great in my adventure.

[@gmo8295]

Love the Blue Slaad. It is CHONKY!

[@davetozz]

The shambling mound was my favorite, that shade of green is awesome

[@dmanrhodes24]

I liked the shambling mound, but really loved the flame skull. I know it was a tiny figure bit fought some in COS and loved it.

[@theafterglowavenger]

I really like the Ettin Ceremorph! Also, the Blue Slaad is very cool too! Happy Holidays to you and Grady!!

[@stevecraig730]

My favorite is the blue slaad because we finally have representation for all the slaads now lol

[@Bogrin]

I need that Shambling Mound!!

[@Gilathorn]

My favorite is the ettin ceramorph. Such a unique mini.

[@jamesg.675]

Great revierw Theo. You always do a professional job. My favorite mini is the Drow. While I already have several, this one would made a great standin for Drizzt. What more could a long time Drizzt fan want!

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thank you so much!

[@silenteagle73]

Love the Blue Slaad. The color and design is mint. Plus they are very interesting monsters to play as a DM.

[@captngalexc]

The Encephelon Cluster and Hushutu are the favorites from this brick. Thank you for another great video.

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thank you!

[@captngalexc]

Goblin Woot

[@captngalexc]

We pulled a Giant Spider (23/47), a Crystal Grick (18/47) , Chisinix (42/47) and a Troglodyte (1/47). All great minis, Thank you so very much.

[@nathansquires5551]

Flameskull because it is iconic.

[@anthonycorrado2374]

shambling mound is my favorite! WOW!

[@brianreynolds2359]

My favorite one i seen was the Sambling Mound looks great and I am soon going to be running my group thru Curse of Strahd.

[@Sparkl3beech]

Loved your Shattered Obelisk review as I am preparing to run this for my players. Gotta say, that Ettin Ceremorph is my pick. It has such a wow factor, and I can't wait to see people's reactions when that thing hits the table!

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thank you!

[@levidesouza8791]

I love the goblins minis. Goblins are iconic early enemies, and it's so easy to make an army of them.

[@TheLordcyrus]

That blue slaad is sweet! It’s so creepy and monstrous looking. 😊

[@paulmiller6431]

The Blue Slaad and Otyugh Mutate were really cool! Fun video! :)

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thanks!

[@clarkotterson7654]

My favorite is the blue slaad. I like his crazy proportions and more relaxed pose.

[@coenandersland3250]

I think this set is really cool and my personal favorite is the Otyugh Mutate. It’s going to be really cool I think to have a monster that could pop out of a Lucious overgrown green cave and surprising players by mistaking it for a Venus flytrap. I also love the painting on it too!

[@AC-zh2by]

That Ettin Cereomorph is my fave by far

[@bravelilspidey]

This set has a lot of potential, particularly as mutates,which is great. I had no idea this was coming. If I had to pick one, in honesty, the first mini shocked me. I really do want a mini that looks nice, and this one is fierce! That really set the tone for me on this set. So far, that is my favorite mini from the set. It looks intimidating and you have no idea it's around you when it attacks.

[@Hennessy_12]

My favorite phandelver mini is the Flesh Meld! It is exclusive to the D&D Icons of the Realms box set! So gory and wonderful! As far as the booster brick today, the Ettin Ceramorph was my favorite!!

[@thefobojoboshow1227]

Hello Theo and Grady! I love your mini reviews (especially all the added lore info!) and I’m digging the new bonfire bites! They’re so much fun! I think my favorite mini out of this set has got to be the first one! That mutated cloaker with the dwarf skeleton attached is hideously delightful! Keep up the great work!

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thanks so much! We appreciate that!

[@thenuevodm]

That Blue salad figure is my favorite of this set. Don't know why but I want to see more of them.

[@robcharette1915]

Theo its been great watching your channel grow and improve. I think I found it when you had about 7k subscribers and have been following since due to your stellar reviews of the minis. Enjoy your down time and have a great Christmas. The Shambling Mound beats out the Ettin as my top pick but there are a lot of good choices and I will definitely want to add all the new Mindflayers to my collection.

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Thank you so much! Glad to have you out there! Happy Christmas to you as well!

[@KUruleS3]

Definitely my favorite mini is Hashutu!! Would love to pull one of them 🙏

[@labmansd]

the otyugh and the shambling mound they are very iconic and have always enjoyed using them as a dm

[@bryinster]

The blue slaad was far and away my favorite, such a wicked cool looking mini, but then I saw the Ettin ceramorph. That is such a unique cool mini that it’s my favorite
