Giants of Legend & Set 5 (Fell Menace) Pictures



Hello,

Discussion on this started over at the WotC Boards, but I thought that it would be good to bring it up here.

The WotC discussion is here:

[url]http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=182716[/url]

Actual photos of upcoming product can be found at:

http://www.figures.com/

Click on the "Toy Fair 2004" link at the top of the page and then look under "Hasbro" and "Games". Pages 4 & 5 contain the minis shots.

Basically, Hasbro has been showing off product at the major US Toy Fair (New York?).

The posted pictures give us a whole bunch of things to speculate about and reveal the name of Set 5 "Fell Menace"

In addition, packaging for Archfiends, Giants of Legend, and Fell Menace are displayed. It looks like Fell Menace has an aquatic theme.

Cheers


Does anyone remember anything about this?

The only thing I could find was a release date for Oct. 14 of that year.

You know if you just posted the exact link instead of making people try to search for something it'd be a gajillion times easier.

From what I can see the only thing that was changed was the name of the set, we weren't going to get any new aquatic miniatures other than what we got in the "Aberrations" set.

Isn't the most likely explanation that "Fell Menace" was renamed Aberrations because "Fell menace" is a bit of a mouthful? The packaging is identical down to the three illustrations, so it doesn't look like a big shift.

There was speculation that it was an aquatic set thanks to a photo of a Chuul and a Sauhagin. They confimed fairly quickly that it wasn't aquatic and wasn't actually named fell menace.

Looking for someone to cosponser a midwest DDM event. let me know if your interested!

Thanks for the responses, guys. I didn't have time to research it when I saw it earlier, so now I feel foolish. I guess I was hoping against hope that there might still be a chance that we could get aquatic minis.

Forgive the expression, but I'm sure some aquatic minis will trickle through the sets. After all, we have conditions for aquatic creatures on maps.
