I kind of like the fact that giant alligators in loin clothes are rare.

The next D&D mini's set, which is out in July or August, actually has two figures I want.  A large Green Dragon, shame it's not Huge, and a hafling on a raptor.

What is that fire guy, a salamander?  The paint looks pretty cool.  I also like the blue skeleton dragon.  What is that guy in the bottom left supposed to be?  Looks sort of like a dusk giant from heroes of horror, but I'm not sure.

I was reading somewhere that they were going to release a colossal dragon, I think it was a red dragon.  I wonder how big it will be.  I have a 'colossal skeleton' metal fig from Reaper, it is big but I'm not sure if it would really classify as colossal.  I was using it for a titan skeleton, which are huge, which is more the size catagory I'd put him in.  So if they really sized it up as colossal, that thing would be MASSIVE, but I think it was over 50$, ouch.

This game that Prometheus ran where I played a vampire cleric, I've been trying to build up and paint all of his troupe just to sit on the shelf.  I'm not quite half done with it though.  There is still a mermaid figure coming out that I need 2 of, plus I haven't found any skeleton minis that I really like yet, except for the titan.  Which I actually need 1 more of, but they are kind of expensive, like 25 and you have to paint them.

It's a Fire elemental if I'm not mistaken and the guy on the bottom left is a Mountian Troll I think.

As for the colossial size, it'll be as wide and long as the At-At but probably taller.  http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndmin/957520000  He's expesnive at a whopping $75.
