White Dragon
Dragon Collector's Set


Releasing on November 4th, the Dragon Collector’s Set contains five non-random, pre-painted, durable plastic miniatures for use in your D&D games. Two of the dragons are new sculpts that have never appeared in any previous D&D miniatures product.  Today, we look at one of these new sculpts, the white dragon!

Talk about this preview here.

Does anyone know if the dragons are large or huge?

Also, does anyone know in what manner they'll be available for purchase?  Amazon doesn't have them, so are they store level only, like Mordenkainen's ME was?

I will buy the set or even two of them (I use alot of dragons) but I need to know the sizes of the bases.

Based on the base size, they look to be 2 x 2, so they would be large creatures.

They are Large. I already own the previously released mini's that come in this set.

I would have prefered if they could have finished off their ICONS line with a Gargantuan Green Dragon (I already own the others in that series and was always wondering why they never made a Green).

+1!
I'd also like to see the metallic dragons at larger sizes or a Colossal Tiamat!

Why would they feature the wite one? it looks terrible. I hope the others don't looks as bad.

I have to agree -- this mini looks terrible. The quality of the minis went down near the end of the product line, and they became more and more "toy-like". This looks like something that I would get in a gumball machine.

It's a pretty terrible paint job. They're still using the thick and shiny paint that just strips away sculpt details and looks super-cheap. And there doesn't seem to be any shading or wash, just a dumping of white paint with blue eye dabs. Pretty darn unimpressive, looks like something that used to be "uncommon" quality (if not common) and not a higher quality rare. 

I hope the others are better or the price is lower than the beholder set.

I think it looks quite good. The sculpt is dynamic. I have not found the quality of the minis to go down in the recent sets. every minis game has its share of terrible sculpts and paint jobs. I'm excited about this product even though I already own the black dragon. The other four will be new to me I'll be proud to have them.

The sculpt itself looks nice, but the paint job is very very dull for 1/4th of a standalone product.
