Need I say more. :D
Looks like they got rid of that stupid nose spike!
Um, there is a spike on its nose in that pic
*Edit looking at the picture of the full set is it me or is the large war troll bigger than the huge Storm Titan?

Maybe so, but it seems to be noticeably smaller and less pronounced then the MM artwork and the large green from the 2008 starter. I'd rather have 3E style green dragons, but I'll settle for this.

Nope, it's there and it's beautiful! (The angle merely hides it.)
Too bad for you suckahs. :P
EDIT: I'm minorly annoyed that it appears to be missing the spikes that run down along its spine, though.

Fine, I'll settle for that then.
I'd "razz" you back, but I personally find that emote to be in poor taste. I don't condone those who choose to use it, I just prefer not to myself.
Edit: Eeew... now that I see it, I dont think I want it.

I know it's all in good humor, that's why I don't mind others using it. It's just not my style.
Awesome find.

I was hoping for a more relaxed pose and wasn't really crazy over it the first time I saw it(but still thrilled it was Green). I must admit after looking at it 1000 times I really like it a lot, although it might be tricky at times on the map due to the fact it is way outside of it's base. My wife loved it from first look.:D

Now if only the mini's would release with something close to that paint job.
Those figure aren't paint masters or the like. The actual product should look just as good, if not better (I've heard these pictures are of factory rejects).
I wonder where OH where has my Dracolich gone?
Right here, #31/60

I keep hoping for a gargantuan Green to sit beside my Black, Blue, & White.
Me too! But we've got a lot of work to do if we're ever going to convince them to make more Icons. (It won't be for another few years in this economy, I'm afraid!)

Sad, but true. There still sitting on the gargantuan Orcus that was fully designed, but never went into production. With the current set of published adventures obviously leading to a final confrontation against the demon prince of the undead there was some hope he might finally see release, unfortunately we'd likely have unofficial confirmations by now if that were the case.
Anyway, as it stands now the gargantuan green is the absolute last thing I want to see produced for the icons line (I hate the new artistic direction they took in 4E). Sad as it was the dragon I would have been most looking forward to back in 3E.

I'd love to get my hands on that sweet-ass Orcus Icon they were showing off! Damn.
As for Gargantuan Green, what if it was a nice pose, and you just neatly filed off the nose spike? (I gather the other spikes are generally less offensive to some fans.)

For an icon I'd likely feel the need to go all out, filing off all the spikes and then getting some of that green sculpting junk people use to help customize their minis so that I could give it 3E (and 2E, IIRC) style "fins". Though I'm not sure I've got the talent for that so I might have to find a "professional" and probably end up paying them to do it, by which point I might as well get them to paint it as well, all of which could easily triple the price of the mini.
Then of course it would likely look 10x better than all my other dragon icons, so I'd probably feel the need to get them painted as well (big red at the very least). Yes I am a rather OCD, regardless, it's all a path that I don't want to get started on. I'm happier not having a gargantuan green than having to go through all that trouble.
Granted I still hope the icons line returns one day, which will no doubt eventually include a gargantuan green, and I will be very happy for all of you that actually like the HORRIBLE new style greens, but I'll still curse WotC for for changing the greens while I embark on my undesirable but never the less compulsory course.
On a side not, I would hate the new greens much less if they weren't the ONLY dragon to get such a drastic face lift. I'm still thoroughly convinced (or possibly deluded) that the only reason WotC changed the green, but none of the others is because there was no icon. Nobody try and feed me that line about greens being the only dragon to not have a distinctly D&D image either, not when reds might as will be Tolkien's Smaug.
:D Traditional designs normal non-prop pose.
If we wanted a Gargantuan Crocodile, we'd ask for it! The horn must stay!
Don't listen to them! This creature is beautiful!
But it's not half the work of art that his older brother is.

Better a crocodile than some kind of thorn covered snake, and leave the horns to unicorns and blue dragons, they both pull it off so much better.
Draconians - So then Dragonlance must be coming sooner than later

The Duergar Cleric of Asmodeus is a great touch. Since he has a hand in their evolution or creation depending on how you few it.
Who could be afraid of a YOCHLOL TEMPTER? I would have been in a panic before seeing this creature but I don't think so much now.

It's a nice mini, sure enough, but that's just not how they look in 4E.

...and you point? I'm well aware of the artistic change, doesn't mean I have to like it. I also don't have any delusions that WotC will revert that change, though the more subdued features of the new huge green dragon give me some hope that future artistic representations may be equally more tolerable.
Anyway, since you were posting you love of the new greens (by using the worst, IMHO, representation of it's breed no less), I felt reasonably justified in doing the same for preferred style (using what is likely not only the best large green mini, but possibly the best large dragon mini ever). Which I will admit might be a little unfair, but it's not my problem you have bad taste.
As is the huge Elder Iron Dragon.
edit All the huge figs are uncommon, are they the Visibles in this set?
Did anybody notice that the huge Elder Green Dragon is listed as an UNCOMMON?

Indeed they are. Which is great, except most huge figs are ones that usually only occur once per encounter

Huge Blue and Black are the ones we need most I think.

That's how they look in MY 4e. :P
The 4E sculpt is nice; it's even a faithful rendering of that ugly ass head. I'd cut it off and replace it.
I do favor the 3e green a lot.
The horn placement on the 4e nose is just SO freakin' stupid! I'd take a crocodile-esque tail over a dire draconic dino-woodpecker head any day!
