| | I wonder why we haven't posted a thread speculating on next Icon/s. We have done it with next sets because we already know set name and date of release. That is quite different with Icons, I know. We only have news of one to be released in January 2007, but we could speculate on at least two other Icons for next year, couldn't we?, so why not a thread on it? I could present one myself. What do you think? | |

| I think it is a good idea.
My Called Shot is:
Colossal Silver Dragon
I was really torn between this and Gargatuan White Dragon... but I'm going with the silver.  Not because I want the silver more... hell, I'd love the white far more (or the green or red gargatuans)... but I think they'll do a Colossal Silver.  | |
Fun little game...

| | I'll go with the Gargantuan Green dragon. As much as I'd like to see a good dragon, I think they'll focus more on the dragons you'll encounter more often. | |

| Great idea for a thread!
Does anyone know the gargantuan/colossal ration for a one year time span?
Right now we have Gblack, Gblue, and colassal Red. Deos this mean we are due up for another Colossal, another gargantuan, or BOTH next??? | |

| Not sure about the next Icon, but I think (and really hope) the next Colossal will probably be the Tarrasque.
As for next Icon, I hope for the Gargantuan White if not the Tarrasque. Gargantuan Red or Green would also be acceptable, but not as desired as the White.
They probably won't get around to it for a long time, but a Kraken would be awesome.
Of course, as far as Gargantuans are concerned, I don't much care. My favorite of the dragons is coming out in January, after all. I'd still prefer evil-aligned beasts, but it matters not. | |

| | I agree. They will probably fill out all five chromatics before moving on to the Good guys. I suspect we'll see White, then Green. As far as I know, in the MM, Red and Gold are the only dragons capable of reaching Colossal size, so I imagine the next colossal will be a Gold, probably after white and green appear. (Though they seem to be perfectly willing to mess with the size of the mini versus the MM; look at the purple worm.) | | | |

| I agree that a Skeletal red would be cool. I want a REAL Dragotha miniature (Gargantuan Red Dracolich, but not bloody likely with the blue that just appered)!! I'm gonna have to deface my old Mage Knight Fire Dragon with super-glued bone juttings and a total repaint. Too much work for just 1 encounter... oh well | | | |

| I sooooo hope they don't even consider the Tarrasque. It has such limited appeal and use.
I think the next Icon will likely be a good dragon. Gold and Silvers can reach colossal so my guess is one of those two. I would prefer they fill out all the chromatics before the metallics, but I don't think they will. | |

The Silver also makes it to Colossal.
If it's colossal I'm hoping for a Tarrasque. If it's not, I'm hoping for a gargantuan white dragon and then a green dragon. The metallic dragons are nice to look at, but rpg-wise they're really not used as much. | |

| I see either a Gold Colossal Dragon or Silver Gargantuan dragon to match up against the two evil ones already out.Â
Tarrasque would be cool but I would like the Draco-lich in Gargantuan.

| I'm going to break from the norm here and predict an icon that isn't Gargantuan or Colossal, but is worth 500+ points.
I'm going to call a pair of huge green dragon twins. | |

| Nice idea, Mjollnir!
Should I suggest something I want, or play for safe with something I think we'll actually get... are there gargantuan Dragonspawn?  
A Gargantuan Elder Black Pudding might be the easiest sculpt, but I'll try for something a little different. From 3e Deities and Demigods I'll go for...

I think you're right...it's just a swarm for larger creatures. If you apply it to animals, does it become a stampede? | |
