Jungle of Despair discussion

Now that I'm all caught up on adding the latest previews from Paizo, the set is really starting to take shape. Lots of great plant creatures, some creepy-crawlies, serpentfolk and some cool character-types.

What do you all think?

New minis previewed this morning. Two new serpentfolk, a human paladin and a morlock. All nice-looking figures., ezpecially the serpentfolk.

The serpentfolk do look particularly nice, but with recent sets (especially Pathfinder), I've found the execution to sometimes fall short of the digital renders. I'll reserve judgement until I have 'em in-hand.

Still, I'm looking forward to the plants, and I'd like several Skull Poles, but I'm sure they'll be hard to come by in the cases, and outlandishly priced on the secondary market. :(

You can never have too many plants! :-)

I'd be willing to bet that they put out a promo version of the skull pole at some point in the near future. $5 a pop on the Paizo website. If it happens, I'd pick up a couple extra.

That would be nice.

Oh! And I bet they'll do a promo Musk Creeper, with yellow flowers! (Why that's not the standard version, I've no idea. It's like those Mining Beetles, with the Fire Beetle paint job not being the standard...)

Either one would be better than another albino variant. :-)

I just posted the figures from the latest preview. Some nice looking big cats, birds and a ranger. The eagle looks especially nice.

Yay! More animals!

I wish someone would produce a line of ordinary animals, useful for almost any game.

New previews just dropped. A river drake, a pixie, a cool bat creature and a winged chupacabra!

It's about time we finally got a Pixie. It can lead those Sprites from a while back.

The other three look pretty decent, too. I can see uses for each of them. (Now, if only the set wasn't excessively full of Qlippoths.)

Yeah. Just got the last previews in place last night. The Kirin is a great addition. Can't wait to see it for real. And I'm really looking forward to the Girallon, even though I have a bunch or Girallon (Girallons?) already and never really use them. That sculpt looks amazing, though.

Wizkids has posted pictures of the actual figures on their website: https://wizkids.com/pathfinder-battles-jungle-of-despair/?mc_cid=2b2a4f8...

There's a nice size comparison of the dungeon dressing items, along with a look at all the components of the hydra. All indications are that this is going to be a great set.
