Not what I think of as aboleth. Not what I think of anything. Almost looks like someone went crazy and mixed up several figs by mistake.

Neat!

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

Yeah maybe if it lost the front bit... you could mod it a bit with green stuff. But not worth the price for that cause I have a feeling we will someday get one.

I can't wait to get one...and hopefully Wizards will take note that they are losing a sale for not giving me the product that I want.

MAKE SOME AQUATIC MINIS WIZARDS!

On a side note, to the Meh and fugly and other naysayers-what exactly did you want a fig based on an alien, tentacled fish monster to look like, exactly?

The MM pic?  That thing looks nothing like an aboleth.

That's one of the limitations of Reaper products. To avoid being sued into oblivion they don't have the luxury of directly using WotC copyrighted materials when designing their minis.

Really?

That doesn't appear to be the case.  I'm just dissappointed they didn't go all out and make an actual aboleth.  Oh well.

edit - how in the hell do you post links around here?Â

Looks more like an aboflayer, but the painted pic looks much less silly.

Eye dun no why youse guys think im not relly a person im jimgang from canada but im moving to cali as soon as i get a master card

So, you stand at your grave, Has your soul yet been taken away?
So you can't read what's engraved, Is this Heaven or merely Decay?
Was there a light, enchantingly bright, A Question, just how did it end?
Just let me sift through your calm remains, And tear you away from your skin.

I think calling it an aboleth before seeing the picture is the problem. It's like expecting to eat coffee ice cream and getting peanut butter instead.
